Deneb Stats: Team kills should not count for PK & Assist

Sep 14, 2015 abortretryfail link
Currently, if you damage or kill a teammate in a Border Skirmish mission, the game counts it for you as a PK or PK assist. This is silly.

Especially silly, since CrazySpence is running an event around these numbers this week.

Don't fire rockets in deneb then?

Yeah, sure. Everyone stop using Geminis, Stingrays, Swarms, and Avalons in big battles versus capships...

Or how about we fix the bug that counts team kills?

Equally silly is getting a casualty assist for damage to your own team's capships...

And slightly less silly, but still silly, is the concept of there being no minimum damage required for an "assist". You can shoot a HAC with a training blaster and still get the same "assist" count as someone who did 99% of the damage with Avalons or whatever.

Well the assist awards are low so i can survive it but yes it is silly heh

"Fixing" it will cause the opposite problem where a team member can deliberately kill a member of their own team who is at 1% health to effectively deprive the opposing team from getting the point.

+1 Arf.

If anything, team-kills should count as negative PKs.

So, this isn't a bug then huh? Does that make it intended behavior?
