1. put on FF all around
2. change the score system so that you don't gain score from killing bots, only people (you still gain money, so botters are still in business)
3. make it so if you kill someone on your team it removes 2x score then it would give for killing someone with the same bounty on a different team

I agree with the 2 first, but not with the third...

you should'nt be able to hit or kill your own team mates..

uh... lunitary the first one is FF which allows you to hit and kill your own teammates.

As for number 2, it would essentially make it so score has more to do with your actual skill then how many bots you can kill

FF == Friendly Fire?

Oki, just to keep the language at a non-nerd level :)

Also we need points for hauling cargo. Points should be based on the amount of profit made from each run, with a multiplier for how long the trip was. So the quicker you are at making a lot of points the better your score is.

FF: yes, but!
the killing of team- and group-mates needs to be penalized much harder than just score. money, health, weapon systems shutdown (as mentioned in another post).

FF de-mining should still be off. although the capping volume has decreased tremendously, i don't want a relapse back to the time when there were "traitor" chars who'd de-mine so the capping squad could move in.

/me looks into crystal ball:

I see friendly-fire turned on...I see many complaints about teamkillers...demands pour in to ban them...I see increasing verbal abuse...more complaints about the community...ya sounds like fun.

I suppose it could work if there were a karma system, but then we'd need to address what happens when somebody makes new accounts just so they can team kill with busses until they are booted off. This would probably need to wait for verifiable secure accounts to keep people from using a bus to team kill repeatedly until they are unable to due to bad karma, and to prevent them from starting new accounts to do it all over again.

hmmm. i guess you're right. but i really think ff should be implemented at some point.

Hmm. Maybe we should have a minimum score before you can TK. Somewhere around 10k. Once you get to 10k, you can TK and be Tk'd.

Friendly Fire is never friendly

I like the idea of FF being back online, kinda, although, with the Serco DefBots throughly insane...maybe not such a good idea.

Paedric gazes into his crystal Pepsi...

Paedric sees things getting ugly. Sees Vendetta turning into an Ultima Online like PK fest. Sees players TRYING to get bad karma a badge of their evil wickedness. Sees flame wars on forums and in game.

Paedric tosses his crystal Pepsi in the trash.

I mean really, whats the point of having nations if anyone can kill you. Might as well abolish the nation concept all together.

Friendly Fire gets a big Negative vote as a bad idea.

If you TK it should put up a sign over your head that says "Caboose: Team Killing F**KTARD"

(RvB reference.)

"I mean really, whats the point of having nations if anyone can kill you."

Realism. Unless you think your ship should be programed to auto-target, identify teamates and then refuse to shoot if there is any chance at all you might hit their ship, you should be able to actually accidently damage a ship from your own team...

Paedric - If you read the top you'll notice I had a few other things to change to make FF being on more doable. however, I do see the problem of newbies just getting mauled. I'm not sure how one could deal with that without more moderators and guides.
