If someone asks me not to reclaim their com then I most likely would not reclaim it. I think this can be said for most people playing. If sfireman doesn't want to respect DIVO wishes then it quite simple. Next time just reclaim his com if he ever loses it.

An eye for a eye!

On the same matter, I think if the player was rezzing a unit and someone else started reclaiming it then I would say that sfireman was in the wrong since I would conisder that the same action as reclaiming a unit being built from a factory.

My final thoughts is that if hte game allows you to do such action and it causes a distress to other players then the fault lies with the developers themselves.

The point is taht Sfiremans commander lose = insta resign. It would be quite wierd to ask not to reclaim the commander, while being a spectator...

lololol

More seriously, IMO com's wreck ownership (it never concerned any other wrecks interestingly, even striders) are in a grey zone for me, more a matter of gentleman's agreement than a hard and fast rule, that you should respect if possible the other player's wishes, but as a matter of principle, I'd say that if you lose your com, then too bad, it's a wreck like any other.

Nooo, there is yet another solution!

It's technically possible in lua to restrict a comm wreck to be only reclaimable by the comm owner, or by all his enemies, which excludes his teammates. No choice has been made to do that.

TEAMKILLING LEGALIZED

I'm not talking about UI, that would be silly. I'm saying it's possible in luarules to restrict it.

You are also being silly to compare these two things.

Disabling all damage done to allies by your units' weapons would change the game in such a huge way that it is preferred to keep it and let moderation determine if someone is hurting allies on purpose.

Making one wreckage out of a thousand in the battlefield would be only reclaimable by the owner/his enemies is a dumb waste of coding time but hardly as huge a change as the above.

Outlaw notwithstanding of course.

because pleasant anticipation.
