Friendly Fire / Team Kill / Auto-Kick
Since Friendly Fire is a mechanic in this game and enforces tactics and caution, it is good as it is right now!

True, those teamkillers and trolls are annoying. BUT there are 2 situations where no kick should occour

1. Someone is standing in zombies or running into lane of fire. They just die from assualt rifle splash damage (since those people tent to not level their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nanites!) So splashkill should not trigger a kick.

2. Someone disconnects and has grabbed ALL the items before. You can use the unit, but can't drop the items ... Now you have to kill him with zombies, good luck getting those items while surrounded by zombies ;) Killing disconnected players, should not trigger a kick

The Auto-Kick feature is nice for people that are not familiar with the commands. But this needs to be figured out. I just got autokicked for splash-killing an afk, standing in piles of zombies while i was shooting for my life. Sad thing, I was the host and the only Medic on our team ...


Not easy to solve, but hmm
Since this thing will get dedicated servers, this wont be the problem. But the autokick thing is annoying. Maybe you should even think about a "kick-immunity" ... Lets say Reown-Level >25?

I found myself killing people not leveling their nanites or sitting on high int items. Then I revive them immidiately. They see how quick they die and try to shoot back => they notice that they cant hurt me => they level nanites

So far good work on this =)

Thanks for the input. There unfortunately is just not an easy way to determine accidental vs intentional team killing. You shouldn't ever be auto-kicked from a team kill. It should always require at least 1 more vote, so if it is truly accidental, hopefully no one will vote kick you out. (Note: There may be an issue in 1.1.2 where you could be auto-kicked, though, and this is being addressed as a bug).

Well I dont know exactly why but here is what happend:
Before the "final" kill I accidently shot one while killing spiders on him. Did not get kicked, since no vote. Later ALL others left the game except 1. Everybody was dead except him, me and one DC sniper. However, when I splash killed him, it got instandly "kicked" (screen blacks out as Host). I dont think he was able to write "-kick colour" in 0,5 seconds ;D
