Not practical. Recall the analysis of what battleships REALLY get in attack score that I did back on AZ. (And I doubt things have gotten BETTER since then.) If they had to earn their own DP in damage to get XP, then half the BB out there would get no XP and the player base would shrink even further.

Remember, for every BB5 out there that clears 100k attack in a game, there are 3 BB that got pwned by him in the process. That's just how it works. Penalizing those players for getting outranged, outgunned, and outplayed is redundant... they're already getting penalized by the very act of getting minced by a BB5.

How to increase the quality of play from BB players is another matter, but stiffer penalties for sucking are likely only to reduce the player base.

And? They should get better. It is practical, it means people don't get free exp for doing nothing. Its damn easy to get more attack than your DP, I did it when I first started often enough. I'm not even talking about including SD. And if they are in a lower level ship, they can put ASW/AA on and support.

Or even put a scout on and gain personal credits for scouting, but I doubt a fantastic idea like that would ever be implemented...

Well I'm in favor of it, but that don't count for much. =P

smart = no no in NF.

Much better to allow people to noob it out in blitz with their first BB1 rather than learn valuable lesson, or Bomb the heck out of CL2 with a DD rather than learn fighter support with their CV1.

I mean after a grind of shooting nuke-shotgun (also named PHH) at each other for 45 levels, skill has obviously been gained.


I actually remember a game where rushing north with a BB3, I dispatched the sole BB4 there, and looking at the game realized there was 3 BB sitting at spawn. Rushed, there, and 4 BBs got killed in the first 5 min, 2 of them never moved, the last one participation to the team effort was trying to run away when his two leeching friends got killed.

So yes it is a problem.





Screenshot with the timer are always a good way to see a leecher, and if you can get multiple one to show it wasn't only a one time occurance (happened I had an emergency in RL and had to leave waiting room, forgotting totally about it) its even better. Complete with screenshot of the result screen, clearly showing 0 attack for them.

I don't see how you'd get banned lol.


NF needs a wall of shame category, where those behaviour are published openly. Sad that some hardcore leecher are paying customers also.

CV's never, ever do this.

Mostly because many CV players makes it that we don't notice them any difference between when they are leeching and when they aren't sadly.

Ne'er a truer word said. Majority of CVs suck so much now the team would be better off if they just leeched in spawn
