• Spirit of the rule - This rule is a pretty run-of-the-mill for team-based FPS ( First Person Shooter ) games. It's universally considered in bad taste and bad form. It makes the game not fun to be shot in the back. The idea is to have fun, not have to worry about a chaotic free for all.

• No destruction of friendly equipment.

  • This includes purposeful and accidental occurrences;

  • This includes all actions other than enemy fire: crashing, using explosives and shooting;

  • They must also have a working mic, and be willing to co-ordinate while flying;

• Spirit of the rule - This rule is for the coordination of the aircraft in the air, as most of the aircraft need to be called in for fire support, which means they need to hear the call.

  • Caveat being that the aircraft is in immediate danger and needs to act against that danger;

• Weapons safe on base.

If you wouldn't say it in-front of your own mother, you shouldn't be saying it here. If you feel that something is questionable, it is probably wrong.
