ok i know it might not be easy to do and useless on some servers, but what about a flag that takes a set ammount of hits and makes it as if it was shot into a portal and will just randomly come out of a portal

You mean some sort of turret? But it takes the shots fired from
other people, and uses those.
Actually, from what I can gather, there's a much better turret being implemented.
There would be no need for this flag.

I think what he means is, while you're holding this flag, you don't get hit. Instead, the bullets teleport to the nearest teleporter. Kind of like the shield flag.
I think it's a bit too similar to SH though. Maybe if it ricocheted off the tank instead of being absorbed...

I understand what Murtagh is saying. My question is for Goodbye2U since he seems to indicate that some sort of turret is being worked on.

I dont believe there is not one in development, i think thats what Jeffm is talking about.

(resists posting Phoenix Wright's "Take That!")
It's in the wiki project ideas, namely here:
Two-player tanks *
Make modifications to the game such that it is optionally possible (e.g. via a server configuration) to allow multiplayer tanks where one player can only drive and the other can control the turret. The implementation would have to be some simple/intuitive interface to join and depart tanks as well as implemented in a fashion that preserves the "spirit" of BZFlag's operational simplicity.
But apparently I missed that this was an
idea, not something being worked on. My bad.

yes this is a good idea as well. it could even be a better one, but there was never really a plan to put it in a turret or something, just to kinda route it onto the teleporters, but the reflect idea is better because some worlds dont have portals
