Jets don't sit in one spot and not move. Jets have bombs. Bombs are meant to be dropped, on the OPPOSING team. No matter where they are. If your going to ban pilots for dropping bombs on people, ummmm....ok so, EVERY pilot that drops bombs on players taking a flag, will get banned. I think you might want to get rid of ALL aircraft before you start doing that or the server will just die out. Think about it man, yer gonna ban players, for dropping bombs on players that are taking flags. Isn't the whole idea of the game to take flag's and kill the people trying to take yours? Want to make fast points? Flag Defense, 3 points. You know how many times I've sat and covered a flag on my team so that all the other players would always have a spawn point? Sure I've been killed, by bombs, choppers, arty, and plain ole better players. Shit happens, I deal with it.
Like I said in another post, the commander can do the same thing with arty, and be more effective, so why not ban them too?
What your really talking about is base raping and no that's not cool. But how do you distinguish between some asshole pilot base raping, or a good pilot following his commanders orders? You just can't ban players on a whim like that.
How do you know the pilot doesn't know EXACTLY where you are? The commander knows, and if he knows, every other player on his team will know EXACTLY what tree or rock your hiding behind and if a pilot is good enough to drop a bomb on your head under those circumstances, he's the wrong guy to ban, hes the guy to RECRUIT.
The goal of BF2 is to kill the other team and take their flag's. In my mind, that could and should, be done anyway possible. If some prick is obviously base raping without a clue of someone being there or not they should be kicked and warned, not banned. Three strike rule will come into effect.
And on that note, once the rules are agreed upon, we'll need to have a page on the site where their posted and the link can scroll in game the same as in UT.
Lot's of things and ideas to sort out and we have lots of time to do that, but stop thinking instant ban and start thinking, kick and warn. In the long run, we'll all be better off. That wont chase away the people that just made a mistake and it will help them feel welcome, and if they follow our rules, then they'll feel like part of the team. The next thing you know, you have a new member. This is the way we need to approach it. We all like that warm fuzzy feeling don't we? LMAO
