ccp will just implement a kick from battle system or something similar. ccp is trying to implement more viable game modes with extra danger and some of you have no interest in the content apart from the fact you can abuse one of the main mechanics for increasing the danger and risk. if you grief fw too much they will just implement a way to stop you and in doing so ruin it for everyone else.

it has not even started yet and people are coming up with ways to ruin it. i hope ccp is taking note and coming up with solutions

Um, they are implementing a kick from battle feature...

not until you lose all your rep. in which case your out and all you do is grind it back up and repeat

they need to have levels of rep.

for example 1-5

lvl 1 rep you gain little rep and if you team kill you are kicked after the 2nd kill unless they are forgiven and lose rep
lvl 2 rep gives slightly more rep and can team kill 1 more player than level 1 before kicked and you lose slightly more rep
lvl 3
lvl 4
lvl 5 rep gives you alot more rep than the others and can kill 4 more players than lvl 1. if not forgiven you loose alot more rep than lvl 1

the key here is the higher rep gives you more responsibility and higher reward. team killing therefor offers the most risk but as you are likely experienced and in a team your not presumed to be a team killer and offered better protection. should however you decided to go that way you risk alot of rep.

with regards to the lower levels the risk of team killing is higher as you have less to lose so if you do team kill then the faction paying your fee will just revoke your contract and revoke your clone in privelages.

you didn't even read the dev blog did you?? LOL

The new friendly fire punishment will kick you from battle immediately after 4 team kills or 5000 hp of damage. The character is then banned for the rest of the day.

We may change those thresholds after we launch too, we'll see how it all goes.

Holy poop!

We need to broadcast this!

The first way a player can be removed from a Factional Contract match is by being punished for excessive team killing. When you team kill a player, that player will have the option on their kill screen to punish the person who killed them. If you get punished enough in a single match you will be kicked from the battle.

The other way a player can be removed from a Factional Contract match due to friendly fire is by simply dealing substantial damage to teammates or their vehicles. When you damage a friendly in Factional Contracts, the amount of damage you are cause will be tracked. You will get 4 warnings, but upon dealing enough damage you will be removed from the match. Damage done to teammates that forgive you is still counted, so watch your fire!

Will overkill damage on infantry count?
For example, if you're charging a breach forge gun and a blueberry jumps in front of you.

5000hp? thats a LOT.

what about a guy who team kills for fun, 20 min before downtime each and every day? how about the ability to buy back in with loyally points. im in a fw corp, if i get an accidental kick first thing, im stuck with pubs only? this will just result in my time/money going to other games, while im in the fw penalty box.

10 team kicks in a month should equal 30 day fw ban. 4 kicks within a week should result in a week fw ban. we NEED stricter rules to deter idiots with 20 alts, who are jealous of others in proto gear

that sounds reasonable. vote to kick systems however, are another story. they are often abused. I have seen it in Socom and Mag. Please do not implement a vote to kick system. The only vote I would implement would be allowing folks to vote on squad leader, but I would not remove the squad leader from the game if he loses the vote. Too many times, I saw idiots voting against the squad leader right before the initial spawn of the game..

LOL one wrong strike and gone, lol.

no, it's okey, because only murdered victims can vote, and not just anybody

I thought about this too.

Considering the fact orbitals are only coming from EVE, that effectively means there's some delay between target acquisition and strike. Make the target area of the strike visible on the minimap for friendlies so they know to GTFO soon.
