there we go, some light of sense. I play this game mainly for stress releif and to be with my corp, but other than that, I refuse to play unless someone wants to play with me.
The reality of the situation is this devs
- Your not even hosting in game tournament brackets, even if its for nothing more than bragging rights / Galactic Standards / In game credits. This benefits you so you can gain experience organizing events, creating dev tools you’ll need and research exploits / tactics you want to discourage players from doing in a tournament by implementing fixes / nerfs.
- Your getting more players being fed up with the tier than enjoying it, in which players will leave.
- Losing money on Tier 4+ would severely hamper ANY hope of you having enough players to compete in a tournament style setitng in the long run. (LoL doesn’t penalize players that lose on at ‘end game tournament level’ every one gets in game currency)
If by now the dev team doesn’t see the how tier 4 implodes on itself then they need to really take a long hard look. Especially if they expect this to be tournament tier. Other games where they have many active tournaments don’t have negative penalties for playing at Tournament tier / end game, except for loss of ELO / Ranking. By having tier 4 players make very little, and worse losing money on T4 matches, this discourages players from playing at those tiers. In the end you need to have players to be able to play at Tier 4 and keep playing on that tier if you want to have tier 4 tournaments. Casual, Competetive, and tournament gamers NEED the player base to be able to practice or even just enjoy.
I seriously mean it when I say look at how League of Legends started as a game, and in a few years exploded as a world wide Esports scene with millions of prize money per year, yes millions, some of these tournaments Riot sponsors themselves as ‘advertising’ to avoid huge taxes in the US.

I have to say today i noticed that if you play a T2 ship in a T3 match it lowers your rewards, why? I mean, i’m doing T3 matches but i only got 1 T3 ship so why do i get less money and rep if i play another of my ships? If i’m able to be helpful even with a lower grade ship shouldn’t i expect a reward atleast appropriate to the tier i’m playing in?
I actualy got to Rank 8 and now unfortunatly if i play in T2 i get half rep, the problem is that if i play T3 and i want to use, for example, an interceptor i can’t couse my only T3 ship is a frigate… i’m realy stuck in a bad spot

its the reward bonus on the ship the bonus goes up as rank goes up
