It is safe to use RE's in faction warfare with a couple of exceptions which you should be aware of:
- Remote explosives will still do damage to friendly vehicles and dropsuits so if you damage friendlies it will be tracked. We did however fix the damage tracking calculations which were going haywire and recording far too much damage.
- Friendlies can still detonate *your* remote explosives by shooting them and killing themselves. They can then punish you for it. We have not changed this.
We also fixed vehicle collision which was also causing way too much damage. Hope that helps.

Previously, once one was set off, it would blow up neighboring mines and count towards your damage and thus kick you. Can I now lay 5 proxy mines next to each other for a tank trap?
We no longer track damage to any equipment including remote explosives and proxy mines.

For example, if you drop an OB on reds that are on a blue NC, does that damage count towards a kick?
No installations are included in the damage tracking, only players and vehicles.

I hope to see you improve the damage calculations, damaging your own vehicle should really not count, it's not a friendly, you own it.
Actually that is another exception I forgot to mention, if you grenade your own dropsuit or shoot your own vehicle that will NOT count towards the damage threshold. The ownership of vehicles does not change if a different driver gets in, so if someone on your own team steals your car and shoots it then that is tracked.

No.

Correct.
pseudosnipre wrote:do flux nades still count toward FF totals?
Yes, any damage done to friendly dropsuits or vehicles where the instigator of the damage was a friendly counts.

crazy space 1 wrote:So if I blow up my own car with REs.... that's.... ok... right?
Yes that is ok.
crazy space 1 wrote:If someone on my team shoots the REs on my car and it blows up does it count any damage?
This is also ok because the damage would have been caused by you, even though your ally detonated the RE.
