Everyone has pointed out OP redlining so I'll leave that there...
No. No reimbursements for team / FF killing. FW is meant to represent the hardcore nature of New Eden and does so through this measure. CCP has already implemented a system to eject repeated griefers. Keep in mind FF is a major part of making a shooter game 'realistic' too. Checking fire is an important team skill and FW, like PC, is intended to be the 'cutting edge' of team coherency.
As for AUR equipment - welcome to microtransactions in a game BUILT on losing stuff. I personally do not use AUR because I don't think your credit card should come anywhere near a game. That said, you can buy what you want but you accept the risk that comes with it. I think CCP has VERY competitively priced AUR equipment to warrant its loss and commend them for not making the pricing mistakes so many companies do. What's more, in no way shape or form is AUR gear necessary - you bought it to 'skip ahead'. That's ok, that's the point. But you still assume all risks inherent to the game - clone death = lost suit, regardless of who did it to you.
As for FF in general...
Should FW reach the point where platoons of players can fight one another and district battles are fought by two corps who know each other, spies and infiltration tactics will be enabled more so by this mechanic.
EX:
Caldari Troops vs. Gallente Hobnauts
These corps know each other and HATE each other and regularly fight each other over the same district(s). CT decides to have a few players 'infiltrate' hobnauts and become a part of their usual FW team. In a critical match, these infiltrators at a critical moment FF the Hobnaut taking a capture point(s). This results in a lost match and victory for Caldari.
In EvE this happens all the time. It's a hardcore gamestyle - one that most of the gaming world dislikes. But IF DUST is to be this way, this mechanic needs to remain and the OP's proposed idea should never happen. It sucks when you're on the wrong end of a well executed infiltration - but boy is it awesome when you aren't. It's what makes New Eden...New Eden.
That guy you killed with 0% shields?
Yeah, I sniped him - go team.
Oh, you didn't know...hmm.
*CCP: Display Assists!!!
