DUST Search - Friendly Fire in All Game Modes: Yes Please

We have always supported using CONCORD and other mechanics to provide deterrents for griefing while keeping FF on. EVE is deep. Use the lore whenever possible. It helps with immersion.

Penalties: -100 WP for killing a friendly. This is pretty basic. basic deterrent.

Fines: Kill friendlies in a hi or lo sec match and and see a 10-50M CONCORD fine in your end game screen. still want to team kill? no money? say hello to negative ISK. better deterrent.

CONCORD Bounties: in null sec, have CONCORD take out bounties on griefers in the realm of 10-50M ISK, allow mercs [bounty hunters] to accept these contracts and hire locator agents to follow their bounties into one game. there the targets name will appear in yellow when seen and a portion of the bounty is earned for each time the player is slain, with the full bounty paid out at 5 kills or more. If a TKers bounty is collected he then is subject to a fine by CONCORD. this allows a deterrent but also incentivizes players and allows the playerbase to police TKing to an extent. At the very least it creates a BH profession and allows varies the experience for solo players and slayer types.

Clone Deactivation: the lore supports this. in Templar One T3 malfunctioned and had his clone deactivated. three friendly kills and your clone is automatically deactivated.

Kick or Forgive: kill a player once and get a mulligan. Kill him again in the same game and he gets the option to deactivate your clone.

TKs are another instance where no mcc cmdr and ground platoon leader hurts the game. the officers overseeing the battle would be the ones dealing with treachery or malfunctioning clones.

Love this idea, you could have a whole bounty hunter...kind of...career. Hunting down people with prices on there heads. FF is a good idea, however COD had quite a good twist on this. Your bullet damage gets reflected back at you, say at 50% of the damage, at least this way, If you absolitely HAVE to kill the &^%^(%^(% AFKer on your team, or the blue berry who keeps stealing your LAV or HAV, you can, at a cost. making you a weaker target to the enemy.

Problem solved, those that want a challenge can opt in, those that dont, dont have to. As for the problem of TKing, make the player that killed you, automatically refund the isk cost of your suit. And get a -100WP drop. Or even something based on the EVE combat system, where, if youve been in combat you cant dock your ship for like 5 minutes.. If youve been TKing excessively, make it a 15min match ban. You get kicked automatically if you TK a certain number of times, and cant rejoin a match until 15 mins later.
