[IDEA] - Pay Players Station Cash to repair Generators

[Miir]

Since it pretty much feels like a full time job I thought it would be good if I could get paid to repair the shield generators at the bases.

Instead of +5 XP shooting up every time you repair you would see +1 Station cash.

What do you think?

O

Only if Higby sends me a romantic postcard for every 10 hours I spend on a hill giving the armor guys scout reports.

Simply won't happen due to this being in game currency you buy with real cash, not play time.

[Miir]

At Zurvan the other day for about an hour I swear all I did was run around repairing shield gens. Felt more like work than a game. If it's going to feel like a full time job I thought I should get paid for it. :P

Could always play PS2 at work, that way you are getting paid to play the game.

Don't think its a good idea. Would cause way to much Generator Farming and people screamed about Alpha being "Pay to Win". This would cause all kinds of cans of worms to explode.

Ok... maybe +0.01 Station Cash. At least the farmers can then do it and I can go have fun shooting people instead.

If you fully repair a base turret for an example its 100 exp same amount you get for destroying it. +5 exp per repair tick is fair exp gain.

And I want SC for killing players too

Killing is fun though. Repairing not so much. There is no leader board for most repairs :P

Edit: on a serious note they really do need to make it harder for one person to take down a generator.

IMO, the generators are in the wrong place. They should be near the spawns. It should be hard to take out generators. The devs learned nothing from PS1 it seems.

Plus gen need to have tighter security. Attacking the gen should cause the gen to attack you.. pain field.. Q you as a target to be taken out.. _____?

There was a comment, and I cannot remember where I read/heard it, but the Dev's are talking about making Generators harder to kill, specifically making it so that you need to use an engineer with explosives or something along those lines rather then a single light with his carbine.

I would not mind if C4 would do more damage TBH. Now 1 charge only does like 15% damage to it.

1 Auraxium per 25 repair experience is fair. 1 SC for anything on the battlefield is unreasonable.

Repping gens is only helping your empire along with healing/resing and repairing friendlies. Called `support` play Helping your empire is good,unless your nc/tr then you should just not bother!
