Alright....Not sure if something was updated, but the Renegade system is outrageous.....Played a vanilla server today (that I've been playing for months) as FIA. Started a new game and spawned, did the normal thing of shooting an AI to get a weapon and loadout (you know, because FIA doesn't spawn with anything, including spawning at a rank high enough to build an armory at MOB....), and all the AI turned on me and killed me. Cool, not a problem. You guys changed that and that's cool (except, you know....FIA is already at every disadvantage so nerfing them was obviously a priority)...The issue is that now I'm in a renegade FACTION. Not a rank, a faction. There's no time limit, there's no way to level out of it. What??? Seriously? Meanwhile, I've got TK'ers on my team who only get renegade rank for killing actual players?

1) Spawn FIA with an assault rifle and like a spare mag. We already get our shit kicked in

2) Put a time limit on Renegade faction.

3) Put people who TK other players in renegade faction, put people who kill AI in renegade rank.

4) My buddy was a low enough level that when he engaged Russian AI (he was playing FIA), they killed him and he got demoted to renegade rank. WTF?

Man, FIA is an awesome idea and has been pretty well implemented. But it would be nice if squads could spawn closer on random deploys, and it would be nice if we could at least get a basic loadout on spawn. I don't know why everybody thinks FIA is overpowered, but it's a fucking grind, man
