Suggestion on score and points

Hi guys,

I played A LOT of NS 2 this weekend (a total of 26 hours since I downloaded it on friday). I've been having loads of fun, but I think there is one big flaw in the game. It's the way it assigns points to actions you perform in-game. For a game that encourages team-play this much, it's weird that you don't get points for assisting in a kill. What's even weirder is that when you build something with someone, it seems that the points assigned for building are assigned at random to just one of the builders. I also don't understand why repairing does not get you points. My suggestions are that:

- kill assists be included (including killing buildings),
- "build assists" be included as well,
- repairing or healing should give you points (I think that as it is, it's pretty boring to play Gorge, as your actions, which are capital, are not really recognized).

I think implemeting what I suggested would make players do what they are supposed to do more often, and thus improve gameplay. I think as it stands score doesn't mean much in the game, it does not even come close to accurately reflecting who's the better player in the team.
Cheers.

    Points dont mean anything, always remember that. They just look pretty, and I like them to know what I just killed (I know +5 is skulk, +7 is gorge, etc...). Some servers DO have assists in the game, but I would say they've been on maybe 20% of the servers I've tried. Just always follow your commander and don't get hung up on points. You can outscore everybody by 100s of points and still lose the game, and thats all that matters.
