    So yeah, the thing here is that company killing is too common, mostly due to very low penalties for company kills.

    -100 honor and -100 rank points is nothing, as an experienced player can rack that up in 2 minutes.

    So people company kill constantly over even the smallest thing, or just for fun.

    For example, i blew up an interceptor that was shooting me, and a guy company killed me and said: "Why did you steal my kill fgt".

    Next time, i fires a harmless WIZ-X at a friendly aegis, and he company kills me, then says: "don't fire your nasty cripe at me".

    I suggest increasing honor loss to 10 000 per company kill, and increasing for every CC per day.
    As well as increasing the rank point loss to 1000, just to discourage company killing.
    A similar increase should apply to destroying friendly P.E.Ts as well.

    LEAVE YOUR SUGGESTIONS/OPINIONS BELOW!

    Yea dude, you asked for it both times.
    Unless you're in an outfit, there is no reason to fire on an alien another player is shooting unless you mean to steal it. Firing on another player for any reason is a hostile act.
    You had better have a reason that extends more than to see the effects of firing any weapon on a player or just for fun. The reactions may not always be the expected ones.

    As to your idea, sure I like it but I believe it should include just firing on company players.

    An interceptor came out of nowhere and attacked me while i was collecting palladium, and the guy in a Diminisher goliath next to me, seemingly idle kills me. How was i asking for it? He opened fire on me instead of the interceptor which he wasn't attacking.

    As for the Aegis guy, firing a WIZ-X rocket is not a challenge to a 1v1 duel, or any sort of fight, as these rockets don't do any damage, and they only change your appearance for 30 seconds.

    Try and actually read my posting, without reading 2 lines then replying with "You asked for it both times".

    Oh that being the case u deserved one of them deaths, I hate wiz rockets too.
     
  5. lol the mentality that you asked for it both times is too funny thats why something like the OP's idea needs to happen so its not so nonchalant about killing your own company. To get stupid over a wiz rocket grow up as for stealing aliens if someone wants to shoot your kill let em 99% of the time you get the kill anyhow now if it was a uber BK or something well then i can see but to use stupidity as an excuse for being a jerk just shows your true colors.

    WIZ-X Rockets do no damage whatsoever, and they can be used in DMZs. They're just a joke, and a company kill over one transform is just stupid, that's why i suggested to increase the penalties for company killing.

    It's almost as if you would company kill over a guy detonating 5 large fireworks at the same time.

    Company killing needs to be discouraged, that's why this thread exists, not so you can say "You asked for it" without properly reading my suggestions.
     
  7. I'll pop anyone that fires any kind of weapon at me or is firing off fireworks creating more lag. Don't be a tool and you won't get shot. Simple as that.

    People use WIZ-X rockets as a way of amusement, and it's NOT a weapon, as it's unable to deal damage in any way.

    And fireworks are a way to celebrate something, so you'll company kill people who celebrate with fireworks over getting their first LF4/Havoc/Hercules?

    That's why this thread exists, to suggest an increase in penalties to discourage pointless company killing, like you, you just said that you'd company kill over a few fireworks, which is just not a good reason to CC.

    Company killing over a guy trying to steal your Demaner freighter kill is understandable, but fireworks? A CC over that just goes to show how mentally weak you are.

  9. Well in fairness, I cant stand people whizzing me, if we aint cool, dont shoot anything my way at all. I will always consider that an act of aggression. And so rightfully so, he should attack you. I wouldnt go as far as popping you though. And the problem here is the trolls. Yesterday for instance we had a company player laying mines on our base, causing us damage. He had no clan, so we attack him to stop, which in turn causes us to lose honor. HE then becomes a phoenix and continues to lay more and more ddm and sab mines. Which take away my extra hp and others as well. Again we kill him, it gets to the point where some of us almost get outlawed. So you want it to be increased to 10k? i think not, you need to really look at all angles of this before you make such a harsh penalty.

    I actually want the outlaw rank not to give negative effect on my damage. I believe if I choose to become an outlaw, I can, I would gladly forfeit all my demilitarize zones just so I am able to kill my company without having to send war.
    If I had a choice at all I would not like to belong to any company.
    So I strongly disagree with this thread, I can argue that the penalty for killing company is already too harsh, because it doubles, it should not max at 100m, but 10k.
     
  11. Yea, Company Kill penalty needs to be far higher, regardless of the reason of anything. Want to kill company members? War them. Clanless? Go to a different map.
    I find fireworks very useful in battles, took out several UFEs that way.
    I have a pretty high end laptop, so when in a fight, I blast off fireworks and spam them with my short keys. If I get a laggy response from the UFE (jagged movements), I fire an EMP, and he can't lock me :)
    It's like I'm blinding him with the fireworks. xD

    Aye, still, people company kill too often and the loss is way too low.

    So, he's spamming mines? Just fly around them, they don't do much damage, and there is a rather high cooldown on the mines, even with the MIN-T CPU. You can repair the damage in a few seconds, and if it's just one lonely phoenix, why are you not barking at the pirates for having over 9000+ mines active simultaneously?

    Also, mines cannot be placed on X-1 maps. I don't know if this applies to X-8.
     
  13. There is an 'Achievement' for using WIZ rockets :rolleyes: I think it comes on during Halloween and Thanksgiving as per the past.

  14. THAT, is a far different matter. If a company member is laying mines on the base, there is next to no room to simple "dodge" them. Besides, they keep laying them on the CBS, so you cannot see it. And x-1 & portal/DMZ areas are the only locations where you cannot lay mines.
     
  15. No im talking about CBS. The player kept flying cloaked, places ddm mines and sab mines, and yes it does become an issue when you are defending and enemies come and now you are running in to those mines. Then he turns into a phoenix so now we get more neg honor. Trolling bro, it sucks lol
     
  16. YUP. I also pop anyone shooting me to "get my attention, thank me, or trying to get me to accept their invite by shooting me in ANY way" Wiz rockets and fireworks cause lag for me. It's not ok for them to lag me in any way. You don't want to get popped, don't interfere with my gameplay.
     
  17. Note: The thread will be re-opened only if the OP requests for it.

    Enjoy the game.
