Capital Supremacy: Credit Income concerns

So I got back to the game after a longer hiatus, and played some Capital Supremacy.

The game mode can still be long, and I mean LONG. And it was. While I had fun, I couldn't help but notice how little my credit income was at the end of it all - I was overall second on the leaderboards, and got 670 credits. The match went on for about 1,5 hours. Even a really good HvV match yielded me ~600 credits a few months back (idunno about it since the new system), and that rarely even reached 20 minutes...

Something should really be done about payment balancing, because this is just not worth my time, and I'm sure many others agree.

    Hey @felker_s 

    Thank you for your feedback!

    While we're currently not looking into changing the credits rewards in Capital Supremacy, we're looking at addressing the length of a single match in this mode. This will hopefully balance out the credits - time spend on one game ratio for many players.

    Hey @EA_Ataashi,

    As always, thanks for your reply - however, I still feel like some overall income buff should be applied, maybe not only in this game mode.

    For example, this was a "healthy round" of Capital Supremacy (we won both the ground & ship phase on first attempt):

    Now, as you can see, the game actually punishes you for being so successful - this is less than half of what I mentioned in my initial post, where we struggled for ~1,5 hours, with an extra ground and ship phase. Additionally, I was #1 in everything, so I can't even imagine how ripped off the other guys were. (I don't know why it shows zero at my total score though, it was around 30k in reality.)

    Hello there! :eahigh_file:

    As far as I know, there is a base credit payment in each game mode.

    And there are Win bonus, Ranking bonus, Score bonus.

    In the Capital Supremacy the Base payment and the Score bonus are very low for some reasons.

    (Maybe for preventing the credit inflation? 🤔)

    In the opposite situation, the Ewok Hunt mode has the high credit payment.

    But I cannot find the lobby for that game mode...

    @EA_Ataashi 

    Yes, please! & Thanks! 🥳

    It is a little unbalanced.

    Yes, well - you see, this is part of the problem. We don't know exactly how our income is calculated, it's all some yada-yada about all the things you've mentioned.

    Hate to be "that guy", but it's funny how in BF2015, where there were no microtransactions, only straight-up paid dlc packs, it was a simple and actually rewarding system: your payment was 10% of your total score that you've actually earned during the match.

    But now - since our virtual, non-paid currency income needs to be limited to push crystal purchases -, we earn a pile of garbage for our efforts, and we can't even know how it is calculated... My previously embedded 300-cred Capital Supremacy match would be worth ten times more in the BF2015 system - and there weren't even this many appearances with ridiculous costs in that game.
