It just means you friend doesn't benefit from being a coward.

Sigh. No because if he shot the guy the guy could shoot him back. Without this he would be able to rep and be perfectly safe, which is dumb as hell and worse than the old way.

I like this Why not give him the same flags as if he had shot him instead of making him a free target for all?
Because then we are using the old system ccp is trying to get rid of because it is "too confusing". .

Seems more logical and less confusing than:
>I shoot suspect, suspect able to shoot me in return.
>I receive help, help is now able to be shot by everyone.
But hey that's just me. Thanks for explaining the mechanics to me anyways.
Oh its definately more sensible, but when ccp went to all the bother making a new system they couldn't then use the old system instead could they.

But hey that's just me. Thanks for explaining the mechanics to me anyways. I guess the problem is if you shoot suspect, he shoots you, someone boosts you, then suspect has 2 ships to deal with. Someone then reps you both, suspect now has 3 targets to deal with. It could soon spiral out of control and end up as a big gank. The new mechanics is to stop this happening.
Except they can all shoot the suspect then rep each other freely to start with.
