To begin with scoring points is not necessarily coupled to contributing to the match outcome. And it neither is a proportional measurement of individual skill.
Of course, core contributing actions are rewarded. Healing, scoring kills and assists in TDM, or killing NPC ships in Onslaught. Healing and tanking seem to be rewarded better than damage dealing - at least that's my perception.
There are some behaviors that are rewarded with points that do not help your team. Or let’s say, going for points does not always help your team in the best way.
For example, mindless charging into an enemy fleet awards you with 30 points for “berserking” regardless if you die doing so. This award is of course meant for dreadnoughts on the front line, but everyone gets it if shot at by several enemies at the same time.
Since points are to some extent proportional to the amount of experience points you gain from a match, points definitely matter for progression.
And because the game doesn’t tell you much about the events you get points for besides the fly text within a match, I usually checked the datamining results to see, which options there are to score points.
Find below an extract from the data mined by Snib on score events and ribbons.
Score Events
The tables below show all known and currently available events awarding personal scoring points. The amount of points is shown by game mode.
Some events require certain tier-based thresholds to be hit. Tier thresholds are displayed from low to high as comma-separated list.
Usually events with thresholds accumulate amounts of damage. Once a threshold is met, the accumulation restarts for the next event of the same type.
Events awarding points for kills and assists usually require a certain amount of damage. Those thresholds are not exactly known. In contrast to GSF assists are not awarded for a single hit, some notable amount of damage is required.
If a certain number of events awards a ribbon, that ribbon is listed with the event followed by the number of events required to acquire the ribbon.
The ribbons are listed in the next section.
The events are grouped by damage dealing, support, taking damage, and game mode exclusive events.
