Increase the amount credits awarded for kills in Deneb. Give people a way to make money by engaging in nationalism.

I haven't Denebed in a long time. How many credits are currently given for different sorts of kills?

I couldn't give you a number by memory, but it is too low.

80K for a small skirmish, 120K for a medium skirmish, 150K for a Large skirmish, and I think 60K for a fighter skirmish. I'm not sure about the payout for a Border battle. This doesn't count the kill and kill assist rewards.

The payout for a large skirmish is definitely not worth the time spent doing it, same goes for medium skirmishes.

However, Deneb isn't supposed to be a means of earning credits, or replacing any other source of credits.

You also get something like 5k a kill.

Deneb at is it isn't a means of earning anything. Anyone who chooses to roleplay as a nationalist does it in grey because of how lonely, pointless and non-rewarding deneb feels.

Well, it is a means of earning XP, at least until you've got all the things unlocked. I agree that the financial incentives seem lacking for the medium and large skirmishes.

Do you get proportionate bonuses for killing capships? Choosing to focus your efforts on bombing means passing up a bunch of fighter kills, and thus all those kill bonuses. It would be good if the game tracked who participated in dropping shields and how much damage they did to the ship itself so that it could rewarded appropriately.

@pizzasgood, a capships kill counts as a normal fighter kill and provides the same kill reward of 5-6k credits if you get the kill shot.

If the credit rewards for medium or large skirmishes aren't increased, the number of sectors taken per medium or large skirmish win could be increased.

For example, currently each skirmish regardless of size contributes the same score of 1 towards the Deneb war. It takes much less time to complete a fighter + small skirmish, maybe even a medium along with those than it would take for a large skirmish. So you could easily manage a score of 2 in probably half the time it would take to complete a large skirmish. Instead of this, the score/sectors contributed per win for a medium and large skirmish could be increased to 2-4 to make them actually worth doing.

I think at the very least kill rewards should be doubled. It has the potential of attracting a lot more lower level players if it's seen as a more lucrative way to stock up on credits early on.

+1 I Deneb on alts, and agree the reward is low.
