The issue is the ease at which people acquire orbital strikes. The solution isn't to let people kill their own team via orbital strikes, it's to make it so that situations like that don't happen very often. Enemy guys standing safely amidst a friendly strike is a lesser evil than letting people annihilate friendly infantry and vehicles with orbital strikes for laughs.
Although I guess an alternative would be to prevent orbital strikes from being called in too near to friendlies in a highsec game. Still make it so that there's no friendly fire, but also make it so that the strikes can't be called down if they'd otherwise be in danger of harming allies. That's a decent compromise, isn't it? |

But I really think it should damage or kill friendlies
I never said you did. I said that the problem with it is that you get a dozen strikes per game, so situations like this happen relatively often. If orbital strikes were more rare, it'd be much less common that you'd encounter this issue.
As for the issue with it killing friendlies, surely you realize that letting orbital strikes kill friendlies would simply result in people targeting their own team with orbital strikes, just to grief them for fun? You'd be addressing one issue by creating an entirely new one. It's not a good solution. |

Well it isn't going to be on outside of nullsec, so come up with other solutions to this issue. |

Most players will not be in a corporation other than the default one. Most players will play it like any other FPS and not get too wrapped up in it. Same way most people play EVE and just fart around empire space. So for those people, teamkilling with orbital strikes or with anything else wouldn't faze them. |

That's theoretically a nullsec fight. There will be friendly fire in nullsec. That's fine. What the OP is asking for is friendly fire in highsec matches, which is what we're playing now. That is a ridiculous solution to this issue and would cause a far greater problem than it presumes to solve. |
