As we all know, when you're killed on the ship your killer is sent to jail.
When cars explode it always makes a patch of fire.
When people are on fire they loose health slowly, as they burn.
I've noticed an increase of the following exploit
If a car explodes near the ship, theres a little fire. The fire burns for a while. Some people get into a fight, so they are shot by someone. Then run into the fire and catch fire on purpose, then run to the ship safezone, so when they die, the server registers that they died on the ship and the last person who shot them gets the credit for the kill - meaning they are jailed - even if they are on the other side of the map by the time it happens.
I know its a difficult thing to stop, but in every case when the person dies its registered as them dying by fire, complete with the fire icon on the killboard. Since theres no flamethrowers etc on the server would it be possible to make it so if someone dies by 'fire' that the kill isn't registered, therefore an innocent person isn't jailed?
Over the last couple of weeks I've seen more and more people are learning of this 'bug' and I think it may become a slightly bigger issue than it is at the moment soon.
