I brought this up in another thread and it got a decent reception so I figured I'd open a thread to discuss the possibilities of (as well as any potential pros/cons) what I am referring to as the "Execution Bonus"
The idea is thus:
If damage is inflicted on someone's back from <3m, that damage gets an "Execution bonus" of +XXX% (originally I had put forward ~150%) virtually guaranteeing a kill.
This bonus would be available to anyone and the damage modifier would be applied to damage from any weapon (sans Explosive weapons for simplicity's sake).
If you are paying so little attention that you allow me to get within 3m of your back, you deserve to be sent to the respawn.
Comments/Questions? Discuss.
EDIT: Derp, I thought this was posting in F&I

Wow, only two of you could come up with something resembling a counter argument, the rest of you were either off-topic or couldn't articulate something more than the played out "rate the troll post".
Why am I not surprised, I am not trolling with this idea. I think that it would encourage situational awareness (since you'd need to worry about more than just snipers and shotgun scouts OHKing you) and that is a good thing.

@Operative 1174 Uuali
Like a real war? So flanking never occurs in real war? Attacks from the rear never occur in real war? I bet you think we should just line up parallel to one another and fire until we're dead. I guess targeting Squad Leaders is out of the question too isn't it?
@Lloyd Orfay
I articulated forward thinking. Admittedly, this might not be the best addition currently, though with the recent discussion about an Ewar revamp, this could work. It isn't my fault that you are too caught in the moment to think ahead.
@Sev Alcatraz
So you always shoot people from the front? If you come across someone with their back to you, do you send the a mail saying "Turn around and look me in the eye while I kill you"? I can't believe you actually brought up cowardice in a game, seriously? Bad argument is bad.
@Joseph Ridgeson
Thank you for actually presenting a counter argument. I must agree with you that currently, it isn't a good idea, though looking forward with changes to Ewar (which, TBH, is what made me think of this), I do believe that this could have a place and would be utilized by more than just shotgun scouts.
@Slave
<----MinLogi since MinLogi was OnlyLogi, I am a Minmatar purist though so I do have all Minmatar Dropsuits trained. I tend to run MinAssault, MinMando and MinSentinel moreso than I do MinScout, however, my First Love is MinLogi (at least in Dust). As I have already stated, this is no troll, this is something I actually think will have a place once Ewar is hammered out.

I agree that Scouts shouldn't be able to brick tank effectively, they should die from being sneezed at and the only tank they should worry about should be Sig Tanking.
However, you're missing the point in that Scouts wouldn't be the only ones able to do it.

Typical pedant impersonating an intellectual. Move along.
Can't counter it so you just ad hom?
