Kit request after TK

It would be nice to be able to request kits if you are TKed under the 5 minute (or whatever time it is now) timer where you are blocked from requesting the kits. I understand the need to prevent people from acting the fool but sometimes a fellow teammate causes you to lose the kit do to their actions which you really should not be punished for, as being TKed is enough.

Just a thought.

I'm sure that is exploitable somehow. It could be used to sacrifice a planned TK in a squad to enable a fast ammo reload for a class like heavy-AT.

Its a nice idea in some respects, perhaps if it could be only applicable to officer kits, it wouldn't ruin the flow of the game for a admirably teamwork oriented squad when some fool backs up in the APC and runs you down while requesting it.

Officer kits will be requestable immediately after you respawn in the 0.5 update anyway....coming soon.

Humm. If dropped special kit from a TK was made poison (It will kill anyone from the same team that picks it up, except for the owner if they are revived) that would fix that issue of abuse. Then you still have to wait the re-spawn time but are able to request the kit you lost.

Seems workable to me, but I would not consider it a priority. Just a nice to have feature.

I can see a problem with that though too. Say you have heavy AT and are going after a tank. Captain Noob blows your brains out and you are TKed. Tank is still there. If I come over after seeing you go down from noob and grab our AT kit I get poisoned? Not to mention the tank is still wreaking havoc and now we have to wait for a few minutes while it hammers us. No Bueno.
