One of the things that annoyed me during my PvP days in Jumpgate was the zero credit recieved for being an unselfish warrior. I can't count the number of times in battle that I flew my heavily damaged nix back into battle to save a squad mate knowing I was going to to die and losing a kill to someone getting the last shot in. There were a lot of Pilots that had high kill counts and great kill percentages who never hesitated to sneak in for the last shot on someone else's kill or run from a fight if they could save themselves....even if it meant leaving their wingmen to die horrifically in a burning cloud of laser fire and exploding missiles. At the end of the day...it was those who ran away the fastest and stole the most kills who were exhalted as "elite" PvPers. It is tough to get a kill in Jumpgate which is why it's such a rush when you do. I don't want to take that "rush" out of the game but I'd like a piece of the credit when I help damage a ship that someone else gets the last shot in in battle. I wouldn't mind having an "assist" stat. I wouldn't mind seeing 4 or 5 assits converted into a kill either. Let's recognize the contributions of selfless warriors in some way.

Is the thanks you get from the guy you saved not enough? Or the feeling of selflessness you have and others have of you?

I say shoot those that fly only for the kill shot.

For me and my squat mates it was always a competition to get the last shot. Sometimes you loose and sometimes you win the last shoot, that was never a problem for us. It was only important to kill the enemy.
But maybe it is a solution, that the guy get the kill, who make the most damage at an enemy.

The guy who gets the kill shot still gets the kill.....elite PvPers will still have fantastic stats. It would just be nice to get an assist if you deal X% of damage to a ship that is subsequently destroyed. Of course nobody gets any credit if the enemy pilot lives hehe.

The more stats the better. Still, assists aren't kills. Unless they implement equipment damage, that guy is still a serious threat until the last shot lands.
