bigbobsr Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 When you self destruct, it counts 1 point for the other team. It should be neutral not count for either side. In death match, if a group of players of one side have another player on the other side in order to help with victory all he has to do is keep self destructing after respawn. Of course all the factors would have to fall into play for this to happen. It is possible. Or if someone just wants to be an ***, he can do the same to give points to the other side. Just a thought.

Armonddd Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yeah, but that never actually happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewski Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 They specifically count it for both TDM and Domination to avoid an even more exploitive behavior, which is ramming yourself into a wall to deny the other team points. If you stop counting it for the other team, people wil smack themselves into a wall anytime they can and just respawn. So I think they need to leave it exactly as it is.

okiobe Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Think of how annoying the other side of the coin would be. I'm shooting someone and just as I'm lining up the kill they barrel roll into the asteroid to avoid giving up a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbobsr Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Imho, self destruct is meant to deny the enemy anything they may gain if they kill you first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Streven- Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Non-issue. Would be cool if you still got kills and assists for it though. For me the joy of seeing people 'splode is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get an assist for anyone you damaged who dies, even if the reason they die is by suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevetsuida Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 If you want to score a green-team kill for the red team, that's your call, but a green-team kill is a green-team kill, whether a red-team pilot causes it or a green-team pilot causes it. Just goes to show that suicide is never an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptwonline Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 If someone is self-destructing a lot to get the other team a lot of free kills, it should be pretty obvious. just report them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toraak Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It's bad enough people ram into stuff intentionally so they won't let the enemy get a kill shot on them. Good for BW to make these people lose a point for such actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancezwithnubz Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 it's annoying enough already to have someone dive into a sat to deny me a kill point. taking away my team & assist point would just make it all that much more annoying of a tactic. it's fine as-is. although, I wouldn't mind seeing a further penalty in the form of, say, -20 ship req at end of match for each self-destruct after the third (let nubs slam into a few things for free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prydin_Thule Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 How about instead of self destructing they allow us to suicide bomb other players to even the odds. The ought history and lore this has always been a crazy but valid tactic. Sith/imperial pilots are suicidal lol so sacrificing yourself when defeat is imminent to kill the other player should be a valid option. Right now we fly right into each other like we aren't physical ships. Lore wise suicide runs should be a valid tactic incorporated into GSF and it should have an achievement attached to it, this would give noob players a better chance at face to face dogfighting. Besides what imperial pilot wouldn't love flying their scout into an enemy ace face to face and showing them that despite your upgrades head on collisions are not survivable. So pls Bioware pls.. Allow us the ability to ram each other for even kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get used to the touchiness of Cherry red mechanical keys. So many barrel roll deaths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
