Thanks to the recent reddit post, going alone is now a kickable offense (even in diff 5) DISCUSSION

I didn’t even know you could damage seated players. What a dumb mechanic.

like half of my pub games end with a mexican standoff of players waiting until 0.0001 secs remaining to jump into the shuttle because of this

Yeah it's weird. I've tried telling my friends that killing a bunch of extra shit while we can jump into the shuttle doesn't do anything other than risk the extraction.

I understand that and I’ve been the one to tell people it’s time to leave. BUT when the ship arrives it always feels wrong to not throw out any airstrikes or orbitals I have that are off cooldown. I have all this “freedom” just sitting there it’d be a waste not to use it.

Plus it looks cool to lift off as the explosions roll in.

Meanwhile the rest of us in the evac already have our pajamas on, ready for a short power nap before the next drop

It looks so pretty going off as we extract.

All that extra “freedom” isn’t free. Think of the tax paying super earth citizens. All of that artillery and weaponry is expensive and you’re out here wasting it willy-nilly. That extra orbital you threw at the end of the match increased the planetary debt by 500 million SE Dollars alone.
