Exactly what information you thought i had to make awoxing possible that was not available to anyone else?
Right or wrong, it definitely sheds light on the need for a battle commander to be able to boot players who aren't doing their jobs. This honestly goes hand in hand with AFK.
If someone or a group of someones is sitting their committing suicide over and over and chewing through your biomass, the last thing you do is let them retain access to your clone vats >_<
It shouldn't be an instant kick, but it should put you in like a 1 or 2 minute count down, so if you're being a sneaky douche you can actually do sneaky douche things for a couple minutes still, but you can't just sit there and abuse it because it amuses you. Possibly a V2K system, but I know that also has its drawbacks. |

There should be a safety in place, though. Say, having to have a director on and approving players going into PC.
But what I'm saying, is that if you have control over your own clone vats (which lets face it, a corporation should) you would simply revoke their access codes if they decided to do something like that. (or just afk, not listen to orders, be generally stupid etc etc)
So, it still leaves the possibility for sabatoge, without making it a free for all that any idiot can do for hahas with no effort and very little repercussions. Speaking strictly from the perspective of lore, it makes no sense at all. |

While it's all well and good to allow spies and sabotage in the spirit of EVE, you ultimately can't forget that this is an FPS, and rewarding players (yet again) for not actually participating in a match is just bad form, as it ruins any form of amusement in the match itself.
So again, having a system in place that helps mitigate things like this by allowing a battle commander to actually command the battle would go a long way in helping keep things in check. Make sure people can still spy and be destructive, but at least make it entertaining. Right now it's just silly and destroys any sense of fun that's already pretty thin in PC matches as is

A proper structure so i can remove afkers and traitors from my team (not from the match).
Example, i have an operative that went rogue/afk, i remove him from my team, but he stays at the match until he dies. The only difference is that i-Šve blocked his clone signal and he can-Št respawn at the battle, being dragged to the lobby, and making a spot vacant in our team.
Exactly.
I like your other suggestions too, but this one especially. Backstabbing should primarily come from friendly fire or clever schemes, not lol afk or suicide. |

It's called mechanics.
Even something as simple as being able to boot the guy who's kid just started crying and he has to afk for the match would fall into this category.
No need to call me names for suggesting that the mechanics in an FPS actually gravitate towards enhancing the FPS experience I want corporate spies and sabotage, it livens up the game, but it's not exactly interesting to say "we infiltrated their corp, and then like, sat around all match....man, we should be on DUST true stories"
