    I posted this in general discussion but I guess it needed to be posted here but anyways the Capture point is kind of useless no one cares too much about them. There needs to be some kind of change with it. 1) Make it a shorter time frame to capture or when its 1v1 make the time shorter so someone with low hp can’t hit and run with over 1 minutes left then hide for a draw. 2) give more rewards to a player that tries to stay in a capture point. 3) Add some kind of buff in the capture point like plus points to the ships shield or add fire power to the ships in the capture point or make it a bigger area as time go on in the match.

    I just feel as the game grows and gets older the capture point is just a death trap and the longer the game goes with no change to the capture point it will decrees the enjoyment of the game.

    Disagree. It does not need a major in-game change. Capture point is NOT supposed to be the primary method of victory. It is simply an alternative method and a strategy to lure out a camping team, cause teams to split up to stop the capture or just to cause general chaos. An OP capture point would make the battles worse.

    If you increase rewards of capture point percentages, you'll just see speeders race to the cap point and abandon their team to try to farm resources. Don't think that is healthy either.

    Depends on how much you increase rewards. Currently if you are responsible for win by capture, you get no rewards (unless you shoot something). In other words you are rewarded more for taking 1 shot and committing suicide in a losing effort. Does that say "balance" to you?
