Another test today:
Entered CZ - 75 start BTY - took a warbird.
3 non bots in spec, and I was the only one flying around.
Jackpot was 869 points.
Took me roughly 1 minute to gather all the flags and I inadvertantly picked up 2 greens along the way,
I got 63 greens for that effort - making my total bounty after the win 140
(starting prizes in brackets)
For those 63 green prizes I got :
2 Bursts (0)
3 Reps (2)
2 decoys (0)
(no brix) (0)
3 thors (1)
1 rocket (0)
3 ports (3)
I then respawed the same ship (Warbird) And greened it to 140.
It took me approximately 3 minutes and 4 seconds.
I got one multiprize (11 greens) during this time.
I ended up with:
0 Bursts (0)
3 reps (1)
1 decoy (0)
3 thors (2)
1 brix (0)
1 rocket (1)
3 ports (3)
But, this also puts me squarely in the middle of the map to grab all these greens... where the flags were slightly outside the green radius - as shown, I managed to grab all the flags in a minute, without really greening at all and I was on the outter edges of the green patch, not right in the thick of it where I'd be a much larger target, and I was 'exposed' for a much shorter time while flagging..
It's this metric that makes flaggin appear to 'reward much better for less effort' than playing CZ and avoiding the flags to get to the same place ship strength wize.
