Battle points not gained correctly for heros/villains in Starfighter assault

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug The battle points gained does not seem to be correct for some of the hero/villain ships in the Starfighter Assault game mode. The battle points gained is less than the score gained when the bug occurs, otherwise they are gained at an equal rate.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? bravetwig
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 10/27/2019
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM)
In what game mode did the bug occur? Starfighter Assault
What is your time zone? GMT (UTC)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play Starfighter Assault, log the score & battle points before and after using heros/villains ships. Double check by comparing against experience points at the end of the round. I did not see the bug occur with Poe Dameron's Black One. But I did see it with Yoda, Boba Fett's Slave 1, Rey's Millenium Falcon, Han's Millenium Falcon, Lando's Millenium Falcon.
What happens when the bug occurs? The battle points gained is less than the score gained when the bug occurs; otherwise they are gained at an equal rate.
What do you expect to see? I expect the score and the battle points to increase at a rate of 1:1. Confirmed this is the case for some heros/villains ships (ie. Poe)
Please select your region Europe
AMD or Nvidia Model Number

Examples:

Poe Dameron - bug is not present:
score before = 5446, score after = 6201; increase in score of 755
battle points before = 5446, less battle points of 3000 for selecting poe gives battle points = 2446, battle points after = 3201; increase in battle points of 755
experience increase at end of game = 1510 (double exp event, this is 755 * 2 = 1510)



Yoda - bug is present:
score before = 6201, score after = 7154; increase in score of 953
battle points before = 3201, less battle points of 3000 for selecting yoda gives battle points = 201, battle points after = 333; increase in battle points of 132
experience increase at end of game = (double exp event, this is 953 * 2 = 1906)

  • Battle Points (BP) and Experience Points (XP) are not always equal, depending on whether you are selecting in-era heroes vs. out-of-era heroes.  I can never remember which way it goes though.  I believe the in-era heroes are cheaper in terms of BP cost, and therefore gain BP at a lower rate, although the XP you get towards leveling is the same, regardless of era.

  • I wondered if this was the case, but I could not see any rule that would fit what I observed (ie. some scalar factor multiple applied to battle points for certain heroes).

    If the difference is meant to be apparent by BP cost - then that is definitely not what I observed look at the Poe vs Yoda example that I showed. Both cost 3000 BP. Poe generated at equal rate, Yoda did not.
