0001655: Suiciding with the terminator sphere should NOT subtract 10 frags from your score.
Suicide with the terminator sphere shouldn't count as dying 10 times, it makes no sense whatsoever.

Suicide as the Terminator should count for -10 frags because if the penalty were only 1 frag, then suicide would be a good strategy for denying frags to other players, and the Terminator should not suicide. Terminator is bad enough with low player counts without an easy way to deny frags. Enemies get 10 frags for terminations, so losing 10 frags for self-termination is intuitive.

Suddenly it makes sense :d
Qent is right, it's to prevent cheap denials/hiding the sphere.

Sure you get 10 frags for killing the terminator, but it makes no sense for you to get a 10 frag reduction if you "stole" the sphere.

What if we prevent suicide with having the terminator sphere?

Sounds op if the guy has a rocket launcher.

Edit: nvm misunderstood you. That sounds good.

I'm misunderstanding something here, what is the problem with losing 10 frags if you suicide? It seems like it just prevents careless use of the RL or similar self-hazardous weapons.

Exactly this. And it's not going to work even if you forbid the terminator from suiciding by whatever means unless you want him to be immune from splash damage from the rocket launcher which is pretty stupid.

This suggestion won't work no matter which way around you put it.
