Proposal: Everyone gets a VIP check box in the TAB/Roster menu, each player can vote one time per match with a max of 10 votes per 24hours and cannot vote for them selves. Rewards can be based on how many you receive.

But if they're on your friends list they count for half, and if their in your unit they count for half as well, so if it's both they count for .25 So you can't stack friends votes, and stack synch drops.
Still I hate having people bitching and giving orders over coms. Maybe just in comp, or warfare.

Yeah, that's actually kind of brilliant, I hadn't even considered it. That would make people want to be nice to strangers, too. That could be super helpful if you're new, lol!
Agreed, I like these ideas. We're looking for positive communication and generally making the community reward good behavior, not just your buddies.

I'm not saying it needs to be for giving commands. If a light really kicks @ss in scouting/spotting but doesn't get much damage, the lurmers who benefited might choose to vote for the light pilot. This would make helping the team more of a priority for everyone. Anyone who performs their roll well will be appreciated by different people.
Wow, that's an interesting point. I bet the Light pilot would appreciate a match score boost in this instance!
What if the reward was an automatic PSR green arrow if you didn't earn one the normal way? Maybe the minimum points necessary for the match, that overrides the normal requirements to get a green arrow?
That gives the team an override of the matchscore when they Know that a pilot did exceptionally well but their effort didn't generate the reward that the rest of the team watched them earn.
It gives players control of the 'X' factor that the algorithm can't calculate. The human factor.
You want to talk about people being nice to each other, I believe that might help alot!

Do you think the vote should be public or private o.O? I can't decide.
People are never going to stop being people. So I lean toward a private vote.
I feel like this thread is evolving in a very positive direction.
Thanks everyone for your contributions.
I hope more people can see this.
