Cue mercenaries having their own ships in EVE, but having far less ISK than everyone else due to 1:1 exchange rate. Which means that they only use them to transport themselves to their targets. Maybe with an orbital drop +í la Section 8. But that may be getting way too wild. Still sounds awesome! I think it'd be cool if Eve pilots could fire CRUs from Bomb Launchers to initiate battles. I also wish that we'd be able to have orbital insertion (at least for the attackers), it would solve the problems with redlining (neither team could redline or be redlined).
EDIT: It would also incentivize Defending letters since you never know when a speedhacker could drop out of orbit with some uplinks and hack your letter before you ever realize it.

However, it is a legitimate concern that these tactics hurt overall sentiment for those wanting to continue playing Faction Warfare, or Dust 514 for that matter. Yes, the tactic can evolve into an exploit.
To provide context, what these gentlemen of team (A) do is throw a match with speed and efficiency for the Q-Synced player(s) on team (B). A squad of six coordinated suiciders working at peak capacity can throw a match in about 5 minutes.That means (B), their clients, have an easier and almost guaranteed method to grind LP for the faction of their choice, Caldari underdogs included. The suicide squad gets their cut of isk for involvement.
I would strongly encourage CCP to approach this situation with care. The existence and use of this strategy can be healthy for the game when given some boundaries. It encourages an underground P2P economy. Rather than kicking players from matches for frequent deaths there are other methods to tackling this 'issue.'
I would suggest that all mercs be given a security status based on their persistent battle record. Frequent deaths (past 5 per match, recognized as suicides and clone 'died' messages), afk kicks, team kills, team damage generated, and outright FW bans would all be data points noted in one's mercenary battle file (yes, we hear that message given by the announcer, but nothing is done). These data points would contribute toward a security rating 1.0 through 0.0. Low security ratings would limit the frequency of faction battles a mercenary may play with the given four empires (due to the reduced number of lower-sec battle generated by CCPs systems). However, all parties could be satisfied if a pirate faction was introduced to support mercs with pirate gear (Sansha Nation, Blood Raiders, Various Deadspace Groups) for those that choose to fight dirty and play in low-sec, or eventually null-sec battles.
I did consider suggesting that corporation receive a security rating based on the average status values of all members--more discussion needs to be hashed out on this point.
As suggestions go, this one is pretty badass.

If we did go with a third wheel it would be nice to have a window which either teams can use to indicate which players they trust from this reserve.

Setting up a contact, organizing a team, making sure payment is met, keeping a list of deadbeat clients---it's a lot of work for a game.

The answer is more simple than all of this .... self inflicted damage counts against your FF count. if you suicide a 500ehp suit than that counts as 500 team damage or a team kill.
the only problem is the maps still have places you can get stuck and can only escape with suicide.

Bunch of scrubs The thing is these players often work for isk because they are providing a service of helping people easily grind LP for the faction, and in turn items of their choice. If you were really feeling dastardly, you could q-sync an entire team of suiciders and end the match in approximately 2 minutes. That translates to quite a bit of LP over a given span of time if you efficiently grind the system.

Falling death, running in front of teammate fire, vehicle crushing, red-line death, Neocom suicide? All the above? Some of this stuff becomes difficult to track, especially with bugs in the current build.

For example, Jadek Menaheim (Suicide) Jadek Menaheim (died) Jadek Menaheim
These messages are easy enough to track. Intentional Suicide by friendly fire and subsequent punish is a bit more difficult. Awox squads can coordinate and literally box a player in from moving to intentionally antagonize a TK. Reactions and follow up mail is quite...colorful. This satisfies the requests of bounty postings.

I am also considering that a player's weekly or monthly KDR and War Points would factor into this security rating. The more efficient you are as a mercenary the more like factions are going to hire you for more elite and higher paying assignments.
That means that each week or month your security score is given a minor reassessment.

Or just ad suieside to the 5000 hp ban And the problem is solved.
Or ad one more perimeter If you kill your self more then 4 - 5 times in a match you are out ( it do not count towards TK or the 5000 hp ban it's a separate thing kr
I don't want to win battles with this bull. I want a god fight regardless of the outcome
And to rainbow guys thanx for a AWSOME game in FW 2 day it was close and thight and great even if we lost it was kick as fun.

And I laugh at you that don't understand that Lp are a currency. When you get high standing its extremely cost effective to get your proto stuff I think I am close to 5 proto 4 every win now
Also if they do what I believe is down the line and ad officer stuff to high standing ppl I will gladly trade it for your isk.,, just remember I have a couple of 100miljon isk already so it's going to be expensive =ƒÿÿ

What potential a full squad of susiders killing them self 30+ times in what way do that ad anything to the game Have been on both sides when this happens it's just bull sh-ít and I fail to c the difference of kling your self or to do a lot of TK.
The question is what do the game win in allowing this, what fun does it ad? Nothing whatsoever if you ask me and I am 100% sure the majority of the player base feels the same way.

The only gear a suicider should obtain from this action is a huge isk fine from the corporate police force, weapons that deal 1dps or dropsuits with 1 ehp that have no slots. The thing is a 'damage to yourself' tracker still favors suiciders and punishes players who run high ehp suits to some extent. A griefer's suit of choice is Minmatar Light Militia frame 115 shield 70 armor for its squishness against team kills (and subsequent player punishes). Going by 5000hp self harm damage kick, a player could skim 27 suicides in that suit. Yes, a different scale would need to be factored if we went this route.

You can't be bankrupted in this game. Awoxers with benefactors can arrange to have funds transferred to an alt account, so fines wouldn't be an issue. Weapons that deal 1dps would be excellent for pestering teammates, and suits with 1 ehp would be amazing for 'accidental' death by friendly fire. Please consider the implications of what you're saying.
