Thanks kojn for elaborating - I shouldn't have mentioned push weapons as they are kinda off topic (though I'd really really love to have them, it's a great way to irritate players and to force them off their tracks and thus enabling you to frag in another smart way with combos). SCNR
But this is indeed about rocket flying, I think if we'd increase the damage for flag carriers we'd effectively make rocket flying with the flag impossible or very hard. Either way it would be impossible to move INTO the base by rocket flying and then move OUT OF the base by rocket flying again.
I think the current weapon balance is very nice already, but using weapons for moving doesn't seem comparatively effective as in Nexuiz which I personally consider a disadvantage. I can live with how it is as of now, but you know, there's always something you're missing if you change things. :o)
