I'd really like to see the rewards for matches be adjusted. Right now there's too much emphasis on the team winning and not enough on individual contributions. Here's my recommendation:

Basic Merc Fee (win or lose):.35,000CB - should cover basic repairs
Kill/Assist Reward:...........10,000CB
Spotting Award:................3,000CB
Damage Award
* per point done.................100CB
* per point taken.................10CB
Component Destruction..........2,500CB


Notice that winning and losing are no different as a base, and that there's no bonus for base capture (because if all their mechs are dead the base is captured!). Instead, individual contributions are rewarded more heavily. with emphasis being on the engagement (the fun part). Fast base captures are only minorly rewarded and inactivity isn't rewarded at all except for the base pay and for any damage taken (might cover repairs but you cannot bot a profit this way).

Since I only have my data to go on, we'll look at a recent match I completed.

Win..................100,000CB
Kills..................4,000CB
Kill Assists..........10,000CB
Component Destruction .1,500CB
Damage Done............4,340CB
Spotting Assists.......4,000CB
Salvage Bonus.........28,458CB
Total................152,298CB


Using the proposed method:

Merc Fee...............35,000CB
Kill/Assists...........70,000CB
Component Destruction...5,000CB
Damage Done............43,400CB
Damage Taken............2,200CB - guessing here
Spotting Assists.......12,000CB
Total.................167,600CB


There's a slight bump in CB income but notice how the bulk of the reward comes from the damage dealt and the kills + assists?

Also, there should be a smoothing algorithm for groups. I recommend taking 50% of each individual contribution, putting it into a pool, and giving out equal portions to each member. This way PUG members are rewarded for their solo activity (still need teamwork to get any good numbers) and groups are rewarded for their group activity; don't want that ECM+TAG Raven getting punished for being on a Vent Team.

Ha - they listened! My numbers were off but they were in the ballpark. Thanks PGIGP - this should kill the bots and TK'ers!

Assault Rewards•Win/Loss/Tie = 25,000

•Team Kill = -10,000 * how many teammates you have killed

•Component Destroyed = 2,500 * how many components you have destroyed

•Enemy Kill = 5,000 * how many enemies you have killed

•Enemy Kill Assist =7,500 * how many kill assists you got in the match

•Spotting Assist = 2,500 * how many spotting assists you got in the match

•Damage Done = 25 * how much damage you did in the match

•Capture Win and Assist have been removed.
