Nice, gonna be hilarious to see the trolling that goes on from people intentionally walking into Friendly LoS to give their teammates penalties.

It'll take griefing to all new levels of awesome.

Isn't there a penalty system for friendly fire already in place?

Only for TK's. They are going to implement a system for penalties relating to actual damage.

I mean seriously, who ever accidentally shoots someone? Or has a team-mate wander into their LoS after you've fired your guns in a pub game? Or is brawling with an enemy and has a few of your LRM's smack them in the back? Only plebs ever do damage to friendlies in a game with horrific lag issues, hit detection issues, and genuine problems with the hitboxes.

This will only work if there will be penalties for stupidity

they should do a point system
if you do 10 points of damage to friendlys no penalty
25 small penalty
50 more
and so on

It's already penalty enough to damage/kill a teammate. Saturday I fired a volley of SRM6 and an AC/20 into a enemy Hunchback and took out both the Hunchback and the friendly Raven on the other side of the Hunchback.

If you destroy a allies component or kill them, you get a negative C-Bill/XP credit amount.

I have done it.
