This is not just a request to shoot anyone in the back (although it has crossed my mind in a match) but an honest thought about balancing the flow of fire fights.
At present the rush for a tactical objective can produce a great combat situation with either side making advances only to be countered and fall back. This kind of back-and-forth is what we live for on the front lines. We all want to push forward, breach enemy lines, and push our foes back. What i fear is that we don't fight as smart as we should. We shouldn't' fear death because of our clones, but we also shouldn't fight stupidly because we can't "die". Being mindful of your team and squad mates would promote greater battlefield awareness.
In addition to gunfire I think there are gameplay issues when a precision strike leaves the calling team completely unscathed when hell is raining down right on top of themselves. I can only imagine that battles would play out differently when the side calling in a strike needs to evac a target to survive, yet stay close enough to rush back in and reclaim the spoils. Too many times in Domination (on either side) where a strike is called in on "A" just to end the firefight that's going on.
Give the mercs a reason to play smart, use strikes on armored targets or rush in following a well timed barrage. |

It is coming in Faction warfare soon. It's a better idea to leave friendly fire off in pub matches. The way i see it is a bunch of noobs will get teamkilled in FW and go back to pubs leaving FW to the Players who actually do something. |

Hope they fix TTK by then. Or better yet, maybe they should take their time. Let's see how many people would be bold enough to run Duvolle proto fits together.
I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

This should be a more advanced game, not just a run-and-gun. Whole reason I've turned off my Ambush.
I think the bulk of us are looking for greater depth to our play experience and growth for the DUST community. Let the noobs shoot each other...I won't. Might turn a SR on the logi that was punching me in the back of my head tho... |

It's people like the OP that need to learn how to read the forums before posting threads like this. Hell, the sticky threads have all the details covering this topic. Why are you not reading that?
CCP, please fix the Nova Knives. Thank you.

Frankly it's because it didn't come up when I searched "Friendly Fire".
I attempted to look first before posting. I don't make a habit of blindly running into things  |

Have you even played FW? It's way more tactics based. Especially since its all dual squads and faction specific corps. It's never run and gun and if it is it is because of noobs. That's why when friendly fire gets turned on it will be even better. Let the scrubs play Pub matches without friendly fire. I am perfectly happy playing FW and training my squads until it gets turned on.
If they turn friendly fire on in pub matches there will be nothing stopping these scrubs from coming into FW and ******* **** up.

And if you really want in depth play PC. Other than it being a laggy pile of **** the premise is great. And it already has friendly fire.
I migrated primarily to FW long ago, and I appreciate the direction.
I just think DUST should be a little more focused on hardcore gameplay (as they announced at EVE Vegas 2013) like players have said they want. I can bet you none of the causal noobs ever tried EVE and that has a much worse learning curve and is unforgiving. I fell the attempt at making a game accessible to everyone is past, and might be detrimental in the long run.
I know the growth of DUST will be a long one, and i'm looking forward to it. These are just growing pains... annoying, butt they'll pass. |

I attempted to look first before posting, and it might sound pretentious, but I don't think reading the posts from May of 2012 would have the same effect. Keeping posts current is an appropriate way for the community to bring their concerns to devs, and this is being posted as a request to CCP for action. I acknowledge this has been requested before but its important to show its a hot topic. I don't make a habit of blindly running into things
May?
Read the sticky thread covering factional warfare changes that have been posted as recently as late last month. These are changes that are coming around 1.8 and even include details about enabling friendly fire in factional warfare with penalties to standings.
CCP, please fix the Nova Knives. Thank you.
