<div class="IPBDescription">Rarer events should yield more points.</div>Buildings seem to be rarer in NS2 than NS1 (except Hydras). I believe this is because of a slower team resource income, which is justified in that we don't have to spend any of it on equipment for troops now.
As such, helping the commander finish buildings and similar events are much rarer than the killing of opponents. It only seems logical to make the score-gain proportionally larger.
This should encourage new players (and other sorts) to do so more frequently, as well make it incredibly obvious that the +100 you just got is unrelated to your personal resource stash - many think we still get res for kills, and even base balance arguments around it.

- Points for kill assists
- Points for structure building assists
- Points for completing commander tasks
- Points for commanding (placing structures, researching tech, upgrading structures, successful ammo/medpack drops)
- Points for healing (gorge-specific)
Right now, the most effective way to gain points is by mindlessly killing and destroying. It would be nice if other supporting actions we're encouraged by giving players more points for doing them than by killing and destroying. At a minimum, this is required if points are going to be used for anything except bragging rights.
