Why does capital ship damage = such a low score?

Please make damaging capital ships translate to a higher score, to me it's absolutely ridiculous being near the bottom of the scoreboard despite dealing 40000 damage to capital ships while everyone else did like 20000 or less. I then started attacking enemy fighters, got some kills and immediately jumped up to second place haha, it just feels crazy to not reward objective playing higher tbh. Game is a lot of fun tho, just a pet peeve of mine

  • Don't forget about support. That is totally underrated as well. 20pts for a shield and 20pts for a resupply is hardly reflecting the value you are adding to the team

  • @aidanw30 scoring systems in EA games (going back to Battlefield pre-EA) has always been bad. However, I recall years ago just after BF1942 Desert Combat Mod (if anyone remembers..) and I love flying so I'd pilot choppers but always looked like I did nothing to help the team since I received no score for support. I told them on their forums and they changed it. EA you need to do the same here. Put more emphasis on objectives and team play over simply getting kills. Make playing the objective and supporting your team of equal or higher value than getting kills.
  • It’s the same issue with not getting bonus points for disabling ships or shields with ion, I can work my butt off getting a shield down and get absolutely no reward. Meanwhile my team farming bots gets top of the leaderboard as I die alone for the tenth time trying to attempt a bombing run on the objective. 

  • To be fair, farming bots is very important to prolong your attack phase but I know what you mean. In a good team you would have support to increase your survivability on your bombing run but that actually requires decent team play. So overall it seems to me that your problem is less the scoring and more really frustrating experiences of so called team play (or not). Do you have a clan? My experience was that the fun increased 10 fold once I was playing in an organised team. When I see a bomber doing a run I usually tail them and try to make them survive as long as possible which usually ends up with me dying and the bomber surviving which is mission accomplished in my books.

    If you are looking for a clan, our clan, Angels of Death (AOD), is currently recruiting and is a great place also for the most casual of players but there are obviously many other clans. look for one which suits your gaming habbits:

    Apologies for blatantly highjacking the thread for some recruitment but it felt to me that this more a complaint about lack of team play rather than scoring.
