Single use consumable with time limit. 20s?

Switches your target colour/icon for the enemy team to appear friendly. You still don't appear on the map if no-one has visual. So in a one on one situation looking away from a potential saboteur they would disappear from the map. But you just turned away!

Lots of uses from light to assault. Together with seismic could aid escape. Lights could stand in with the enemy huddle lighting them up for LRM. Team will be looking for UAV and at each other. Hey guys we have 13 players!!!

Keep player original name too. So the really good players/friends will recognise the name and open fire!

Team chat voice or text could be used to issue team code ("Rubber Duck"). Enemy player won't be able to respond to team question or supply a response.

Should provide some comedy game play. Shooting team mates just to be sure!

Narc could be used to counter effect. Disabling the effect and turning the player red again.

Cheers

Not sure hardly make sense, My radar knws and trakc swhere my friends are, anythign else is a hostile enemy. no matter how much you cheat your signature.

On screen cursor would appear identical to friends blue arrow over head. If "Fake" friend is visible by a member of your team then they appear on the map too as a friendly blue arrow. If none of your team have line of sight then the "fake" friend would disappear from the map.

A little like the spy in TF2.

This would a good idea I think and it wouldn't hard to justify by any means of lore. The feature is a part of an uploadable virus that just "simply" hacked the mech pilots interface.

The game has way too much of friendly shooting friendlies as it is. I got shot on 4 out of 8 drops yesterday by people "testing their weapons" In one match, a guy took out all 3 of his lancemates.. I just want to shoot the enemy not play "Clue".

Faking the ol' friend or foe designation.
Interesting idea.
For the risk of getting shot at by your own team mates for potentially infiltrating the enemy team to take out a target and disrupt the group.
Could open up some interesting game play.
Might need be a expensive consumable.
Good team work is the foil and you'd have be a bit bonkers to use it in Clan vs IS matches other than defeating radar ID.
