I swear, it's been like 5 times in a row where I've lost out on the 5 gold from capping to someone else who had the same number of caps as me.
Is it random and I'm just having bad luck or does taking hostile beacons count for more? Am I missing something?

It's random.

The last person that made the cap gets it. You got lets say 5 caps and you don't cap anymore beacons for the rest of the game. Your teammate has 4 and towards the end of the game he caps another beacon. Both of you have 5 caps, but because he was the last person that capped it, he gets the 5 au. Untrue. Ties are random distribution. This has been tested rigorously by this community. It is known. |

There was some testing and a vague correlation to number of wins - but there was exceptions and a true connection could not be determined.

I question the randomness of beacon gold distribution. I can't remember the last time I won a beacon tie IF I had high damage, even in a 3 way tie. A very high percentage of the time beacon gold goes to the lower dmg. I don't think it's right, either.
Not interested in guys running all Cossack hangars only tying me for beacons when I'm in mediums and heavies. The player who does the most dmg in a tie for beacons should get the 5 gold, since they made the greater contribution to the victory.
One man's point of view.

Of course that would diminish the options for those with weaker hangars trying to get gold the only way they know how. |

Is it random and I'm just having bad luck or does taking hostile beacons count for more? Am I missing something? It is supposed to be random. It is either broken, or there are outside factors we do not know about. I have been tracking --- the odds of me getting a streak as long as I have is about 1 in 2.1 trillion --- thats every person on the planet flipping coins 300 times -- Im at the point where I need to start collecting screen shots of the end of every match to prove the point, and get pix to address the issue. |

I don't think it is random at all. I win the tie about 80% of the time or more. It's to the point where I expect to win it and get disappointed if I don't. It may be the lower damage as my beacon capper hangar doesn't score much damage. But that hasn't always been consistent either. I have lost the tie when I had lower damage.
I think it might be who gets to the first beacon first or it may be who has the lighter bots in their hangar. Those are the only consistent qualities associated with my hangar. I usually get to the first beacon first unless I am starting from a total disadvantage and I always started with a Cossack, Rog, or Kumiho.

Ties are random distribution. This has been tested rigorously by this community. It is known. Just more info to add through my experiences... I manage to get the 5 Au every time, and it is not random for me. Hostile beacons weigh more than regular beacons. If you tie with another player, but have taken more hostile beacons than the other player then you would win the 5AU. If both of you have taken the same amount of beacons, either all regular beacons or all hostile beacons, only then it becomes tie and the 5 Au is awarded at random. |

Hostile beacons should absolutely count more if they don't already. 2x the time and risk. I'd go so far as to say they should count double. Liberate AND Capture should be worth more than Liberate OR Capture.

Wow okay, that explains it somewhat. I'm definitely guilty of chasing cap points, if I see someone taking red off a beacon I'm jumping on it. |

Although I am not sure I guess it depends upon da,age and no of beacons you liberate ..although if you do max damage and win you will get atleast 5 au even if you cap ZERO beac,now if there is another peep with less damage same beac capes or more but he liberated atleast 2 caps then he gets 8 au..now if you do max damage and beac compared to others and liberate some too then you get 10 au...for 10 au usually your beac must be 3+ or if you get 2 beac your damage must be very high and should had liberated atleast one beacon
I tank during event and above mentioned things are something I noticed ..many tankers know how it works and farm gold ..it’s like 10 au per match usually if a tanker then you can easily get 100-150 gold except daily task a day

Liberate AND Capture should be worth more than Liberate OR Capture. Definitely in BR mode, where reds can just keep spawning on you until the beacon is actually blue. Can't count how many times I've busted a nut to take out two reds guarding a beacon, only to have one or two fresh ones pop up to kill all my joy before I can turn it. Hair-curling cussing moments those are. |

I am guessing you have considerably more games under your belt. I also expect not to get gold on a tie in my 4100 victory account. I do get gold on ties in my 30 victory account. There is a loose correlation with number of wins - yet there are enough exceptions that that can not be the full story. |

No, I think that it is given to the player with a lower ranking/league
