We've disabled TK punish on RT's server, for what it's worth...

Why don't they do what they did in PR it was like "f" or something to open/close the door in the helicopter. Can't they do something like that for the shuttle im not sure if they can because its 2142.They could make it mabey so that when to piolt opens the door it unlocks the people In the shuttle so they can jump out,and visa versa.But when its locked people can still switch positions im not sure if they can lock but still might veable to open/close oor with button. I don't know but mabey?

As I keep banging on about, TK punish makes little difference. You get -3pts for a teamkill regardless of whether they punish you or not. Get to -12 team points (might be -15) and you trigger the autokick for teamkilling.

We can turn off the autokick for TK punishing, and I'll look into whether it's possible to reverse it so the punisher gets kicked. I'm pretty sure I'd have come across it in vanilla if it was possible, though, because everybody hates the TK punish feature!

The autokick for TKs needs to stay, though. Think about it...

About the only way you can get that number of unintentional TKs on RT's server is by piloting the Lambda. I avoid the unfortunate deathtrap – I don't even spawn into it when it's landed. Once was enough! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they manage to make it safe for 1.4. This is a work in progress, after all, and it gets better with each release.

It sucks, but it's the nature of the engine and you can't run around inside a flying vehicle like you could in BF1942.

Not a bad suggestion. would take some of the classiness out of the vehicle but make it a lot more playable.

FS fighters are locked so you can't get out until they land- can you lock the passengers?

lol, yeah sucks when some noob punishes you for piloting a shuttle that he decides he wants to run around in and die. Oh....and space maps where someone jumps on your target smashes into you and then punishes you.

I had a chat with the server owners and got the ban solved, checked how you can exit the shuttle and it's true that he must have been walking off the ramp (we were hovering high above a flag taking out the enemy), and yes the guys name was Fubumiki.

I just got an auto ban from the wolfserver because I was piloting and some idiot( fubmiki I think his name was) kept bailing out in mid flight then punishing me when he died. Is there anyway this can be modified so you can't be punished

I did i search on FS Stats with names with FUB , do you think its Fubumiki?

The shuttle needs to get a lot of love for the next patch. We'll see what we can do to help in the other problems it is having (and maybe pod launchers or some other form of escape-we'll see). In the meanwhile what is the name of the player that got you banned?

You could ask the server provider to change to server settings, so that punish for Team kill is turned off. Apart from that, it's all I can think of.

punishing should just be outlawed full stop, it was a brainless idea to begin with. But i guess it's part of the BF engine and we have to live with it.
