Topic: TK's while flying Capitol Ship

LOVE THE MOD!

But has this happened to anyone else? While playing EFH yesterday, I was driving a capital ship. I kept getting TK notices. I wasn't aiming anywhere near my teammates, and I think it was because they were flying into me in fighters. (and of course, automatically selecting PTK afterwards) Eventually, I got kicked!

I don't think the original TK resolution system contemplated someone driving a vehicle which could survive so many collisions with its teammates vehicles.

I was wondering if this is common, and if any solution was in the works.

Re: TK's while flying Capitol Ship

Though I havent been the unlucky recipient for a TK from someone ramming into my frigate, I know that the situation is relatively common for cap. ship users. You get punished for their stupidity, and they dont care. The guys who punish you like to screw with other players because they get a kick out of it. Cant really do much about it unfortunately...

Re: TK's while flying Capitol Ship

Isn't it possible to simply tweak the mod rules so that someone crashing into you isn't considered a kill? Maybe a workaround like adding an extra collision box around each ship that smaller ships will instantly explode upon impacting with, but the box itself is not considered to "belong" to the ship or the one who drives it?

I like this idea. Give the ship a thin invisible skin around it for ships to crash into... however you won't get any kills for enemy ships crashing into you, it's not like you deserved them though =P

True, but what if, as was suggested, TK's for collisions were turned off. Space battles are always such glorious chaos that collisions seem to be pretty common and no one is really to blame.

Re: TK's while flying Capitol Ship

We've had this problem in the testing server. We'll throw some ideas around and look into the issue as I find it frustrating as well.
