I assumed that resigning from an event, whether voluntary by the player or imposed by the character/vehicle damage, meant that characters would be out of it. But that doesn't seem to be the case: twice now I've had vehicles resigned automatically, and though they are then out of my control and sit there doing nothing, the other vehicles still fire on them occasionally and the characters are reported as taking damage. The same thing happened the one time I resigned voluntarily. So if this is the case, what's the point of resigning? I thought it was a way to prevent further injury at the cost of forfeiting a chance of participation in victory, but unless I'm misreading things injury is still possible.

You are still in full control of car and pedestrians. But remember, just because you give up, wont mean everyone will "honor" that, but those who don't are few indeed, and looked down upon.

Vanye Posted Nov 27, 2009, 3:16 pm	Ah, thanks. So even NPCs will sometimes disregard resignations, that's good to know. I hadn't unassigned gunners, so I guess that may have had an effect too?

While it's a good starting point to learn solo dogfighting tactics (when you learn NOT to rush in), if you nuff it, you still risk the redding.
