    I'm around 500 infamy with a mk1 fixer, and over the time since i started playing as fixer, it seems like I am being neglected by the game when it comes to resource and star rewards after games.

    The Fixer's "healing score" isn't measured or sumarized in any way, besides in achievements.
    Fixer only have 1 weapon spot, so he naturally wouldn't be able to compete for the top in score after a game. Thus meaning less rewards and stars. When I play as shooter, getting in the top spots are easy, the rewards seems to be bigger and 3 stars are more easily recieved, as it seems like the "damage score" rules it all.
    I would say i have had serveral "perfect" games, where i give continusly heal to all my team mates as we stay in a group, go in front and block shots for those who have very little HP left to save them and deal good damage for the only weapon I have. But I have never recieved 3 stars after a game, no matter what.

    Besides that there doesn't seem to be equal rewards if you compare the ships to Fixer, it gets a little frustrating being in the 3th to 5th spot at the endgame scoreboard, when you feel that you have been the MVP in the game.
    Yes i have been at the 1th and 2th serveral times, when your team mates decides to run each their way like headless chickens, meaning a lost battle.

    Maybe your heals aren't strong enough yet. While i always sit at the bottom with damage, i often get three stars as a fixer when my team stays closeand i can heal them all constantly.

    Possible, my heal are lvl 10 and i can't evolve it yet. Could also be that I'm a little out of the league i should be in, as captain level 8 and always face mk2 and mk3 now.
    The balance on things seems unfair, i even lose the same infamy as others.

    Yeah, that part does kinda suck... But i do think once you can get more heals out you'll see a difference. The boards at the end alwaysout highest damage first, but the heals will give you stars when they're strong enough.

    Hang in there! Everybody loves the fixer!

    Yeah they should add how much healing you've done to the scoreboard and some how fought it like damage or half a damage point. Regardless when I play healer I'm almost always 1st or 2nd in damage somehow but when I'm not i usually get a extra star from the person above me if I've done a bit of healing also when I do a lot of healing i end up getting the same or more gold regardless of damage deal. With my defender I've dealt 4k damage getting about 8k gold and with healer I've gotten about 1k damage with a load of healing getting about the same gold 8k only difference is sometimes with fixer i get an extra star when this scenario plays out.

    With defender only a rare cannon and mk2 uncommon sniper on good games get 3k damage give or take and with fixer only rare cannon I've done 2k+ damage with fixer been number one and last alive before i just try not to miss shots and be Rambo when I use fixer. Btw defender is mk2 and fixer is mk1 and I'm at 1142 infamy right now lvl 12 captain

    One thing they really have to do I hope the developer or admin sees this, is add the amount a fixer heals to the score board so that the chance of being number one even if you don't do much damage is still possible by adding the damage and heal together somehow. Because I've noticed there's something there cuz of the fact i get 3 stars sometimes and the 2 or 3 ppl on top me have 2 stars but they have to make it visible because atm only damage is recorded on the scoreboard

    You can definitely get 2 and 3 stars but it is harder to do with a fixer. The star contribution algorithm does not seem measure fixer contribution as accurately as other classes. I've played a ton of shooter and fixer and I average less stars with fixer even though my infamy is much higher since I contribute more to battles.

    The developers have told about the star calculation system before:
    https://forum.battlebay.net/threads/how-to-calculate-star.141/#post-900
    https://forum.battlebay.net/threads/how-to-calculate-star.141/#post-1339

    So only healing or damage doesn't mean everything. You need to contribute much to get stars. Fixing the player who does the most damage is the best way to get stars. And the devs have also said that they have discussed about showing the fixed hps at the end of the battle. So, we'll see if we see it in the future. Hope those posts help a little.

    Actually from my experience fixing the player that does the most damage is great for winning and good advice in general but if you want to earn stars as a fixer you need to be in the thick of battle. There seems to be some sort of area coverage component to the star algorithm. Games where my team sits back and we win from range while I fix tens of thousands of hp and I even get good damage in I almost always get 1 star even though the win wouldn't have been possible without the fixing. Other games where I zoom around the battle field fixing and shooting seem to yield higher star rewards even if the damage and healing output are not that high.
