I just played in a 5v5 on Green Comet Basic. We won, but I did not receive any influence, although the rest of my team did.

Happened again with http://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/6805.

Do you not gain influence when you're playing with people who are neutral to you?

Alright, so apparently the influence I would have gained instead went to members of FATAL who were not participating in the battle. They're allied with my clan, URFL, but that doesn't make much sense either way...

Apparently if you have a ceasefire, fighting on an allied planet gives them influence rather than you? The help/info text for PW should probably be linked to the manual.

I had no infuluence gain in a few games where someone the other team dropped.

Influence goes to ceasefired/allied planet owner..
Help text says that, not a bug :)

Aye, but I had encountered that, and as the only link to the help text is in the main planet wars screen it wasn't immediately accessible.

It is also rather horrible. I mean, it won't stop me from playing battles, particularly when there is only one battle in town, but it makes me feel like even my victories are wasted. I didn't get into this to grind influence for FATAL, and it doesn't make sense for all of your influence to be transferred. I would have opted for some sort of bonus in battles where you work with allies, or perhaps a split distribution...

Well if you get any influence from it you might end up conquering your ally planet. Whole point of this is to avoid it.

You should only ally with your real allies - when you really want to support each other and not compete for same planet.
