I'd like to see an EXP and Cbill bonus for capping. Not like the assault bonus which is 50 bonus for being there at the end and 75 for winning via capping. I'd like there to be a small one like 2 exp and 100 cbill per second spent capping which could be used for both map types.
I'd like this because it would reward players who actually cap, give a bonus to the light mechs that run around capping during conquest mode.

You mean so people would actually be rewarded for piloting small mechs, using strategy, and completing the game objectives? That sounds like blasphemy to me. Mechwarrior is a slugfest. It's about shooting, not thinking!

Your narrow minded view of this means that you obviously couldn't think your way out of a first grade math test. Not all cappers are lights. And it is only a slugfest, in i's current state because that was all the low intelligences could handle. Teams; that actually use teamwork, can wipe the map with slugfest brutes. Furthermore, it may be the teams tactic to win that EXTRA bonus from capping rather than actually settling for the wipe win, in which case they SHOULD be awarded for this promotion of TEAM play and not the moronic slugfest you prescribe to.

I recommend that you push for the devs to create the Team Death Match mode for you and your ilk to bash and crash all you want in and not bother with trying to think in Assault or Conquest, because the first goals; FOR BOTH, are Capping the base.
I have a simular post elsewhere; Make Concquest more about the cap.

Totally agree. If I go cap 2 or 3 objectives and miss out on the fighting I get NOTHING currently, but in the end it may be my capping that wins the match, and I should be rewarded for my efforts. (Read any capper where I said I or my)
