Diminishing returns on custom Alliance maps

I'm here to fly airships and have fun. If they're going to nerf rewards, they need to find ways to nerf the contribution to the map rather than slowing down the gameplay and making the game more of a grind.
I personally really miss the speedrun alpha. Right now Assault is like sieging 3 sentry nests in a row, especially since the refineries have so much health.

It's not nerfing rewards for everyone. It's only that one mode gives significantly more rewards over time (and it's not even close) than any other modes. It just needs to be brought back in line with the other modes, that's all.

When you have half of the running Retrieve matches locked, 1 ship, all AI on Oblivion, no one is having fun. It is pure grind.

the player doing it is having fun. . .
I'm biased as fuck btw. I was trying to figure out a way to do it on Hell consistently. I was having fun.

It's the most fun solo mission in Alliance, in my opinion. Largely because it's the only one that is speed based. If it wasn't fun at all, people would not be grinding it over and over.
They should make a leaderboard for fastest solo runs of this.

Sure, it is fun to do a few times. Then it becomes a Skinner Box being used to beat the other people also grinding it for points on the map. Remove all points given for 1v Oblivion and see how many people still do it. That is a great solution for now.
Anyways, I beat it in 2:23 seconds in a Galleon with a half nub crew. My crew were silent for a moment, then... "What? I mean what?? Was that it? What?" I agreed. It was lame and boring. Race to point A. Kill one ship. Grab cargo. Win game. It is sooooooooooooooo easy to do, and takes almost no skill. I could teach a 1 match pilot to do it.
My personal favorite thing to do solo is take a silly build like a Lumberfish, and beat Assault on hard or hell. Something that is actually a challenge to my piloting skills.
If you want to pretend this is not about the points, go ahead and feed the delusion. Fill up your points, and keep doing it without spending anything. Let those extra points get wasted. See how fun it stays.
