Suicide - risk/reward option or cheap tactic?

The game is revolved around destroying the other team's ships and getting points for it, so, if its in one's power, why not get back to full health? However, if they get tapped with an enemy weapon during the event, doesn't the other team get a point?

I'll reffer you to Yiski's post why it's wrong (he wrote it more elloquently that I ever would).
If people are morstly aginst it, Swallow will supposedly add it to the COGS rulles that such tactics are against the rulles.

Wazulu :
Where's Yiski's post? I can't follow more than one thread, I'm terrible at organisation as is.

If someone suicides, fine let them. But put a big blinking red message across the top of the screen "____ just suicided" and make the respawn timer 45 seconds. This would create an interesting scramble mechanic for those double team kills, and if his teammate had to run away then he would be alone at the respawn. Would make it an interesting tactic at least. OR just make a rule against it.

IMO this is something a lawyer would pull, the kind of lawyer that defends murderers and wins, he just gamed the system. If you missed the point I'm saying it's a slimy, sleazy move.

QQ all you want but if you go about banning that then how about banning sniper matches entirely? You seem to like aggressive teams but continue to let camper teams rule the matches. Hows that right? Whats more exciting, an engineer battle with sniper teams or a pilot and crew battle with aggressive teams? Battles with actual tactics and ambushing or sitting in one spot pew pewing?

I've known about the trick for a few weeks and have tested it mostly in practice. I've kept the trick as a reserve trump card not planning to use it until facing range battles. But I haven't kept it secret. I've mentioned to many of you the possibility of using it. Now suddenly angry when I do?

So by your standards I should have offered up my slowmo crippled ship to Destructoid as a free kill? Gimmie a break. I'm not giving enemies free kills just because Muse can't patch or fix the game properly. Or just because of your concept of chivalry maybe? For one it did put us at a disadvantage. Specially cause I had no idea if the other team was rushing into the canyon after us. If you notice in the match, they do come in by the time I respawn. Had they rushed in sooner they would have gotten Brick alone or even me in the process of taring myself.

Had there been no slowmo I wouldn't have used it. That is a fact. I told Brick at the time to retreat and that I would use it because it was too much of a liability with 10% hp under those conditions. If you notice I got down that low again thx to slowmo but I didn't pull back and try it once more. Frankly I didn't think it would work a 2nd time if the enemy was wise to it.

You don't like it, fine...thats your problem. I don't regret using it. Any ship in the Cogs running tar can do it. At the very least I hope this raises awareness to it. Change the flow of some of those long drawn out battles. I've never professed to be a chivalrous pilot. I use a lot of tricks, I fight dirty whenever I can, and I'm known to cause teams to rage mid match or desert the lobby after. Don't like that, fine, stick to your stand up fighting...but I'm not. You better have good spotters...thats all I'm gonna say.

Oh fuck, sorry Wazulu. I meant your post, I have no idea how I mixed you two.
