That's the beauty of the game being in beta, CCP still has time to realise what a terrible idea it is to have FF turned off, regardless of security. |

Except for the part where it isn't a terrible idea, right? It may also be safe to gander that HighSec may have a "hardcore mode" like CoD and BF, so players can choose. What matchmaking game have you ever played that had FF on 100% of the time?
Halo (barring some special novelty game types - 'Rocket racing' comes to mind here...)
In CoD and BF you have so little health that FF would result in lots of accidental kills, but in Dust (and Halo) you can take quite a few hits, enough to mean that if you regularly team kill you are either an awful player, extremely careless with AoE weapons / vehicles, or doing it on purpose.
Ofc there should be way to kick players from matches for team killing maybe with a ISK and/or WP peanalty per kill, and as a nice bonus, if FF had a penalty attached, it might also reduce OB spamming.  |

FF on for average games would be a disaster. You have not given this much thought. Spending a significant part of every game fighting with squads of team killers to even get away from your spawn would not be enjoyable.
Give them das boot.
Problem. Solved.
I reiterate, Halo has FF on in nearly all game types and I challenge you to say that it is not a successful game, or that it is not a game for average players.
As long as there are measures in place to deal with team killers such as booting, reduced (or maybe even negative) rewards at the end of a match etc. then there is no real reason why FF should not be on.
Fake Edit:
A system where you did reduced damage to team-mates (or increasing damage - kinda like the laser rifle) would be a good compromise, actions still have consequences, but accidents are not so brutally punished. |
