This is the second time i see a tk on my end log, and that last time i was totally certain that i might have not done it.
I am a very gentle person, i like long walk in the park, and I sing soothing songs to my teammate ears when fighting next to them, i am pretty sure i don't shoot them in the nuts.

Bottom line: it'll happen, and it's probably not intentional. If some near-dead light runs in front of your lasers, there's not a single thing you can do. Don't sweat it.

Tried shooting an enemy uphill once with several PPCs and missed, didn't pay any attention to where those shots actually went and kept fighting. Suddenly one of my group-mates tells me "woah why did you tk that guy?" and I was totally surprised by it...

I have been TEMPTED to TK on purpose a couple of times, but luckilly resisted the potentially satisfying urge. When you cook a goose sometimes a leg is enough.

Edit: Numbers.... they hate me

Funnyist TK "I" had was when a cored commando slammed into me at 100Kph+ and the impact finished off his last CT hit points..
I was heat shut down at the time
I got the TK penalty & the Abuse from said Commando pilot for not "getting the hell out of his way"
Would have really liked to buddy would have really liked to...

That's not a good idea.
Sometimes you get trolls who don't TK outright but instead just shoot the legs off of your lights for example. You have to take those idiots out quickly.
I think the penalties for teamkilling we have now are sufficient, you don't see a lot of deliberate TKing(way less than in any other shooter I ever played) and when you do you can just report the guy.

FTFT. Really, all TKs are against the rules. You are not the police, stand the **** down.

So....you'd rather the idiot runs around legging your whole team 'cause mommy can't come to the phone right now ?
That was just an example though, the point being: way less tking in MWO than you'd expect from a shooter, no need to penalize it more.

Yes!
As he said: ALL intentional teamkills are against the rules and a reportable offense. The judges for this game are the gamemasters at support. They are the only ones allowed to punish players for their behavior. If you take justice into your own hands, you are making their jobs that much harder instead of giving them a clear situation to judge about. It might lead to griefers having a longer lifetime in MWO then they should have.

I had a player bitching up a storm at me the other day because i was firing at him (didn't kill but damaged heavily)
there was no marker over his head nor was there a marker on my map for a friendly...so I started shooting...
i think a FF penalty is wrong because so many factors can make you FF and many of them are out of your control. We are already penalized for a TK.

I had a similar incident myself, except in reverse. I was in a light, with a nearly blown off leg. I ran into someone else and blew off my leg, leaving me limping. That person continued to say how sorry they were. I kept telling them it was my fault, I ran into them...

I've been told before (and I don't mind updating my information here) that one could defend themselves if they were being attacked by a friendly mech. I normally give them one free shot. A written warning. They shoot me again, I normally return fire by that point in self defense.
If this is incorrect, please correct me so I don't end up getting reported myself...
