XP penalty

[Jerome]

Build an XP penalty in for sinking or surrender. This will have the effect of possibly demoting a poor captain and will make PvP more risky. Make the surrender penalty higher to encourage captains to slug it out.

[Chimera]

Why would you want that?

All it does is make captains run from pvp engagements even more than now and promote uneven battles.

XP / PRize penalties should ACTUALLY be introduced for BR differences in PvP.

 

From -90% to 190%, respectively 9:1 to 1:9 odds.

I want to see skill also modeled into the rewards. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/15149-i-ganked-the-british-and-all-i-got-was-this-lousy-t-shirt/

 

We should really do some models and calculations, then see which one makes sense. The current one is too limited.

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

PvP is 2x, that's the flat indicator. It is a good indicator of how pvp relates to pve, which we going to ignore for the moment being.

 

In a battle with same BR, rewards are the flat value;

 

work from there in a linear fashion regarding BR to a minimum of 0.1x the flat indicator and maximum of 1.9x the pvp flat indicator.

 

 

Given the 8x BR gives a immediate escape IIRC we might not see the extremes presented unless players so wish it.
