Title: Cred for supps
Post by: DMBEAR on September 13, 2008, 11:10:17 PM
Everyone loves it when supps come out.   If perks were given for supps that are picked up, that'd be cool.   Whadya think?

I forgot to mention that perks should be deducted when enemy picks up those supps.

I agree that somehow there should be more than just a few perks given for resupplying a base, especially if ack, ords, barracks, dar, and fuel are brought back online.  Perks r nice.... but too bad it doesnt reflect in scoring, too.

As far as veh supps go... currently all one gets is a few "ty" and that is it.  It'd be nice to see some more benefit to dropping supps.

Great, all we need, another way to stat pad without doing much of anything.

Actually not a bad idea. I don't know about deducting perks for enemy pickups, but awarding for friendlies would be cool.
Unfortunately it will not take the squeakers long to figure out how to exploit it. It would be better if perks were awarded per amount of actual repair/resupply achieved, that way n00bs can't just drop supps to friends and let them pick them all up to pad perk levels.

This would be a good idea.

He said perks, not score. 

There is no score category that this would fall into in any event, as you are not damaging anything.

How about if the person who picks up the supplies depends on how many perks you get? If someone who is tracked, turreted, 10 AP rounds left, and no Pintle pick up the supplies then you get more perks than if someone who only needs more AP rounds picks it up.

I thought you already get perks for dropping vehicle supplies? I know you get perks for dropping field supplies.

No.  The act of dropping supplies gets you nothing.

You get perks for field supplies only if an object on the base is repaired, i.e. nothing damaged on base, dropping field supplies gets you nothing.

Um.... why so serious? 

If one brings in supps and in turn the dar, barracks, fuel, and ords all (or partial) go back online...  shouldnt there be a reward?  I think you missed what I was trying to vouch for.  Drop supp and no repair = nada score/perks.  Drop supps and repair OBJ, etc = score/perks.

 :uhoh I was just suggesting a reward of perks for giving your buddies vehicle supps.   That way you wouldn't have to rely on your buddies only.  Not suggesting a reward as far as score.   :rolleyes:  Anyways, I'd assume there would have to be damage to the vehicle or 1/2 of its ammo out for the perk to take effect.
