Fortress Points

Fortress Points,
What are they? a form of score, or will certain "unlocks" be supported later? because I believe that if unlocks are added it will cause extremely horrible balancing issues. Hopefully its just a score thing.

The idea of Fortress Points stemmed from the fact that too many people were considered with k:d ratios in earlier TF games. With the FP system your score isn't so much tied to your kills, instead it rewards you for your efforts working in a team environment.

I've noticed that sometimes the scoreboard will count kills/deaths, but not fortress points.

I like it, though id like to see it get even more complex. A lot of accomplishments you still dont get points for

There is plenty of room for expansion with this system, and a lot of great ideas on how to do just that. As more updates go out (especially after the bugs are cleared up), I'm sure you'll find the Fortress Points system a bit more to your liking.

I like the points, and that it displays +points and what they are for, like reparing a sg or healing someone.

Is there any documentation on what you are awarded (or even lose) Fortress Points for?

I'm not sure if this is already implemented but you should get FP for killing flag carrier or defending flag (i.e. killing someone near the flag)

There will be in the wiki, but I assume that someone else will cook up something on the forums.

From memory:

Enemy Kill: 100
Flag Capture: 1000
Sentry Gun Kill (Level 1): 50
Sentry Gun Kill (Level 2): 100
Sentry Gun Kill (Level 3): 150
Radiotag Assist (someone else kills someone you radiotagged): 50
Dispenser Kill: ?
Repair SG: ?
Heal Ally: ?
Repair Ally's Armor: ?

my feeling is that people will still look at k/d ratios. once fortress points are sorted and balanced, i'd like to see the k/d columns removed altogether, and replaced by fortress points.

I cannot confirm this, but when I was playing as a medic, I swear healing a teammate gets you +1 or +10 Fortress points, same with armor repairing.
I think repairing SG is like around less then one +.?? not sure.
