Personally, I think the biggest exploit is the fact that you can die 30+ times in a 14 minutetime spanand there be NO consequence to this. If everytime you died, you had to do corpse recovery, or at least if you were DB'd came out with horrendous wounds, this would stop the RTEF Cloning wars. Or you could just make certain cities have factional cloning center. For instance: Moenia would have a rebel/neutral cloning center only and Theed would have a Imperial/neutral only cloning center. This way, you would at least have to travel back and forth to get your petty revenge on someone.

I think it is wrong to purposely disease/poison a corpse. I makes no sense that I should be able to throw a poison bomb on your corpse and make your clone wake up with the poison. I personally think this is a bug and that abusing it should be considered griefing. Those hitting corpses when throwing AOEs to hit others still running around are however griefing and I don't think they should feel the need to gimp themselves just because someone might get their corpse poisoned.

Grrr hate enter...


I was saying if u go to commando boards you'll see ton of posts from non commandos talking about the dmg we do being to hi. Most of us listen to it and post creative criticism in the posts and ideas and solutions.


I already posted on this thread a possible solution that would stop TEF rushing and make disease more useful. No one seems to read it and instead would prefer to flame any comments.


So once again just make you suffer a large amount of wounds when you die with a disease. This means after being diseased and killed you'll have to find a healer before rejoining battle.


Its simple and effective and it solves the problem without reducing your power at all and if anything makes disease even stronger.

Seriously, saying it's just mean? You make biological weapons, your whole point is to heal from distance, or make people sick! If someone can come up with a logical arguement against this then fine. But stop posting this crap about what you think without backing it up. In the real world, we have people whose job this is. I just wish the disease / poison carried over to whoever touched the corpse. That it could spread... like a disease... to other people who get to close, or come into contact with it.


Combat medics are not doctors, we are Biological warriors. Whose job it is to make people stop making war. If you do not like this, then do not use the tactic. But I do not want your carebear attitude to close a door for me.

It's not wrong to disease the incaped, as cms we should not limit our ability. The problem with diseases is that it takes so long for them to start ticking. By the time they do the persons already incaped and DBed. A few suggestions could be to allow the disease to inflict instant wounds on the first application before the timer starts. Another idea would be to shorting the time it takes for the disease to start, say 8 seconds and as the disease increases in powerso does the time till the next tick.

And frankly, I don't care what you think. It's a war out there, I will do whatever it takes to win the battle.

If you were in a war IRL I'm pretty shure you would do anything to survive. Thats what we do, insure the lives of our commrads by any means necessary.
