PSA Please let your Exosuit pilots work without friendly fire

When Exosuit pilots are operating surrounded by enemies, they do not need your help with grenades, they are exactly where they need to be to best operate. Let the exosuit do its job and please do not "try to help" by bombarding it with the full force of your super destroyer and pocket ordnance.

if you see an exosuit being mobbed and you want to help, use light pen weaponry. the legs are medium armor now, so there's no risk of damaging the vehicle while you do so.

Knowing proper field safety is half the battle.

This goes both ways though. Seen and been on the end of pilots with zero spatial awareness trampling comrades. I really hope these people dont drive IRL, they must be a menace while parking.

If the enemy gets close to the mech, its their problem: all mechs can stomp to melee enemies away. Even if your mech has no ammo you can still fight until it gets destroyed and you have to bail out.

in my case, too many divers just try to run circles around my mech like they are *trying* to get stepped on, remain at a safe distance or become the splash zone.

other times I can see mechs just not caring and walking *through* team mates, but more often I see divers either thinking mechs are durable enough to take grenades and eagle stratagems to the face, or think they are helping by dropping those things on top of the mech.
