Ok, first off, I don't like friendly fire. Krenzo has stated in the past that he does not want to support friendly fire. But there will always be servers that will try to use friendly fire, and there will be people who visit those servers. And when they see the buggy friendly fire death messages, they may think that Empires is still the buggy mod it was back in 1.0. Everyone here knows it's not, but the new players after 1.08's release won't. So, to give the newer players the best impression of the game, FF should be supported.
just because its there doesnt mean people will do it - you can jump in the comm chair and drive it to a lake, or recycle all the infantry portals or other bits of base - but most of the time people dont. The point here wasn't to force it on people, but just make it easier for those that want it to try it and then change their minds - rather than have them try some half working hackedish version and get put off of the mod. At least thats what I think the point is/was.
It would be pretty sweet if nukes hurt your team too. And arty killed your inf as well. But swamprat, the reality of it is that stupid people abuse FF and it is better left off.
Yay I can remember a server where it was turned on. The admin, who was first BE and got pwnd just joined NF and started tkilling. But Evan is right, that would nerf arty and nuke a bit without making it useless but you also need to be careful with it and not just like it is in 1.07, running ´n gunning!
until an emp_recruit appears and nukes your own base into the ground. I would be really happy for this on clan matches... I think it would work really nicely and add a whole new dimention to the game. but for public servers.... lets not have this again.
The point of this thread was to do SOMETHING about FF so an unfinished feature doesn't leave a bad impression on the newer players. Krenzo has a solution, so if you don't have a really good reason to keep FF, let the thread die.
It adds nothing more then already is in the game; if you want To TK people go get bio on the 1.071 server... I think Empires has enough shit blowing up left and right without having to worry about hitting your own people...
