I have noticed recently that my local blu dots tend to shoot me in the back...a lot. Now I know this doesn't cause any damage but it does make me think i am being shot by the opponent. The sounds and red hit indicator are all the same. Because i am thinking i am being shot I turn to respond only to find there is only a blu dot and now the red dot I was creeping up on is behind me shooting me with bullets that actually hurt! Its distracting...
Can the red hit indicator change colors depending on who is shooting me? Red for enemies blue for team mates?
I have also noticed some players using this as a way to get you to stop hacking an objective or to take control of the turret you are using. Reminds me of when I would get knifed in MAG so they could get the points...

I love when dingleberries scratch my back as I am laying waste with a CA railgun. I especially love it when they get that good spot in between my shoulder blades as i burn to each yellow hack before they can. |

I get that a lot, too. I've seen my partner get shot in her back, too.
it's mostly on first deployment when I'm running to snag some forward positions for the team/
I can't imgine why people do this. |

Yeah the exact situation you described is happening to me some **** keeps popping in my the back I turn now im getting shot by the actual enemy. Or some sloth pig sees me wracking up kills on a turret and instead of going to our other turret right by the one I am using he jumps in and steals it. I've already noticed the trolls emerge in the game it was a literal emergence. Now what they like to do is try to blow up my shield caldari tank because collision damage is higher I just want to tell them good luck trying to blow up a 6,580 shield tank. Also there is a glitch where when you first come out of of your MCC allys can kill you with a grenade its super frustrating. Have lost a 20k suit, had to respawn, and a nasty death on the score board as soon as the game started. |

Maybe they are just mad because i can run faster...I did enjoy watching the guy that stole my turret last time die almost immediately as the opposing team had finally saw the need to destroy the turret. He used it for about 30 seconds then poof....it was gone. |

It's more annoying when blueberries jump in front of my line of fire and get me killed because of it. |

Did you ever stop and think "Why is this guy shooting me? Could it be he's trying to tell me something?"
Like for example, when I shoot youfrom my tank as you run to hack the Turrets, DONT HACK THE TURRETS! (Reason?: If we are holding a point and I'm using this 800k tank to help you hold it, someone is going to sneak around the back of us, hack the turret and proceed to smash me before I even know what's going on.)
Or when you're facing the wrong way and I shoot you and then shoot the other direction, it's probably because I'm trying to indicate that theres a crew of enemies about to rock us and I'm going to need your help, atleast face them and take the bullets like a man -_-
OR when you're in a turret and you're being a mong firing at the MCC whilst I can clearly see there is a tank in the open and I feel I'd probably man the turret better than you.
OR You're in a Logistics suit and I start meleeing you (or any suit for that matter apart from heavy), I need Ammo!
Just a few thoughts. |

Or (and I've had this as a ds pilot and done it as well) I'm shooting at the DS because I want a pick up |

You are a blue dot, you don't get to decide if Pilots pick you up, since you're blue we'll automatically assume you're awful and cannot be trusted to get out of the Dropship when needed. Sorry! |

And yet i see so many other pilots complaining of having nothing to do. If they don't get out i just land back at our spawn and stay there forever |

Why do we even get a friendly fire indicator anyway? What is the purpose? |

they're planning to implement FF at some point, most likely in corp matches. |

Yeah that I can understand. but when you are using a turret and blasting the other team at the objective so your guys can move in to take it and someone shoots you so you disengage and immediately take your spot...or they are just randomly shooting you because they shoot everything that moves...As for trying to direct me by shooting me and then in the direction you want me to face...play your own game plz...
If there is an enemy you want me to see try aiming at them to spot them so they pop up in my HUD.
Maybe team chat needs to be the default chat channel so we can communicate better.

They should just take hit indicator out when being shot by a teammate. I don't understand why it is even in the game. What is the purpose of knowing when a teammate shoots you? |
