Well, what you could do is go for the starfighter pin on Escape from Hoth.  To start, crew with a full transport and you'll get team points from all the kills the thing makes, then switch to an X-Wing with enough time left to rack up your own 10.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's how I got it.  But it had to be a round where I didn't run into anyone or visa versa.  I say that because like many of you guys I've played that map a lot and I just now got the pin.

Re: The FS Pilots' Lounge

Is the TK penalty really 3 points?  I'm sorry, but that's retarded for space maps.  It ruins your entire round when a friendly decides to dart into your line of fire when you're finishing off a TIE sad

It's really too much of a penalty.

Add to that some of the little insta-punish punks out there and it's terrible.  sad

Yeah, I agree. The penalty is pretty harsh for space maps. Although, I must admit I sometimes accidently hit the wrong key and punish whoever nailed me when I meant to forgive them. *blushes* lol

Re: The FS Pilots' Lounge

Just remember its asking "Do you WANT TO punish?" Not  "Punish, yes or no?"

Re: The FS Pilots' Lounge

Believe it or not, you get the same penalty of -3 points whether or not you are 'punished' for the TK! The TK punishes only count towards the server's auto-kick settings; e.g. 4 TK punishes against you and you're automatically kicked from the server. It's a really crappy, highly unpopular part of the game engine, and I'm surprised they kept it from BF2.
