Plea for introducing friendly fire....

Dears Devs,

please allow friendly fire. The current restriction is just artificial. The faction system should keep ppl from digesting
the newbies of their own nation.

You're right, it doesn't make any sense, as the faction standing system should be enough prevention.

Its not, if you fall into bad faction standing with your own faction, then you can be shot by, shoot at nation members, see [syn]n00b

Hmm, this can be fairly badly abused too, but would open up the lovely chance of another "widget".

The BigBrother Addon, aka "Monitored" status.

A monitored players all actions are overseen as if s/he were in a monitored sector. This means that if he engages in assault (and kills) on a player of his own nation, he will lose standing, the same with other players that have good standing with his nation. However, it will also mean that anyone that attacks a monitored player will be prepared to take the consequences of such an action.

By default, all EC-88 have the BigBrother monitor installed, for other ships it can be bought as an addon.

It will be presented as a "monitored" text beneath a players ship in the HUD.
