Last night i killed about 6 or 7 players in CZs who had joined the side opposite mine. I did infact recieve a combat bond for destroying them. The amount didn't make alot of sense to me though. Maybe its ship dependent like the NPCs? They ranged from 30,000 to 140,000 usually but ofren had odd numbers like 30,007 or 142,780 or something like that.

This was the case before 3.3, but no longer.
Yes, it's the same as you'd get for an NPC in the same ship.
To win the CG counts the amount of Combat Bonds,despite the wins or loses.
For the CG yes (because the CG works on bounty amounts). For a post 3.3 CZ on its own, no. CZ wins, objectives and then bonds win it.
Yeah, I was meaning about the CG
Yes I probably have been not clear,I meant about the CG related Combat Zone.
Yep I should have been more clear about that.Cool! Crossed wires and to many CZCGCZs
You can do a low alone in 5m on average. With the restock time for the fighters I don't think it's faster to get them killed. Even in a wing it should be faster then killing each others fighters. Plus with doing it the "right" way you also get bonds and fullfill your missions. So you get some extra points for that too. I'm not even sure if lost CZ count for the days tally and if how much compared to pos. More science needed.
I'm sure its slower than doing it the right way. But you never know these days :/
For 8 ships there's maybe not much in it but for a Med or High, using that 30 shot hanger, it could work out. Having said that, it would be sooo tedious compared to actually shooting the enemy.
It would be horribly grindy and exploitative certainly. But it was a thought experiment more than anything else.
I have done it for real once a long time ago, when CZs were bugged and could be empty of ships time after time. On finding ourselves alone, again, a friend and I joined opposite sides and I shot down his 8 fighters. The main thing I learned is that those little Imperial fighters can be a right pain to finish off if you don't get them on the first pass. It wasn't fun.
It still counts for the other side.
Thing is, just blatting the cz is faster. It's not a huge effort to kill ships faster than the reconstruction rate of fighters.
