Collateral damage?

Recommended Posts

I just read the post in the "Should I buy SWG?" thread where a forummer related a fight between twenty or so people in the middle of a city.

 

Just asking, if people can choose to stay out of combat,how are "civilians" (or the people watching the "duel") handled in the game?

 

I'm asking because I think it would look unnatural if you had a small town ablaze with battle between imperials and rebels, and you could walk calmly down the street with laser blasts going past within meters of you without taking damage or facing risks, just because you "opted to stay out of it".

 

So my question is, can you get hit by stray laser/blaster bolts, and can you get affected by "splash damage", such as from a thermal detonator explosion? Can you get "tagged" in some way (lacking a better term:)) and have someone attack you even if you don't want to fight? How safe is it to travel a war-torn Baghdad-invaded-by-coalition-style city?

sorry, but there isn't any collateral dmg...I've walked through several fights and had blasterbolts fly through me doing no damage...it's just too much off a hassle and could be used to grief non-combat players such as Entertainers. (belive it or not there ARE people who want to...though they get there's in the end when the entertainer finds a nice sized wookie who is willing to stick up for the people who take care of his Battle Fatigue and Mind wounds :D )
