I don't think it would be out of order even from a realism standpoint to build in some failsafes. Although it should certainly be possible to betray your allies, there are advantages to having a warning system for this.
First, sincere allies legitimately dread the prospect of a careless error. An obvious warning would help prevent that.
Second, such a feature would make it impossible for someone to be engaging in subtle "gee, sorry -- I goofed" machinations actually intended to be aggression with the tacit impunity that might come by way of credence one's hapless allied victimes would likely render such well-cloaked traitors.

Military equipment frequently has interlocks t'prevent thin's like a five-inch gun on a ship firin' point-blank at its own bridge. ;-) ah doesn't reckon it'd be outta o'der even fum a realism stan'point t'build in some failsafes. Although it sh'd sartinly be postible t'betray yer allies, thar is advantages t'havin' a warnin' system fo' this. Fust, sinsyar allies legitimately dread th' prospeck of a careless erro'.

Second, sech a feature'd make it impostible fo' someone t'be ingagin' in subtle "gee, so'ry -- ah goofed" machinashuns acshully aimed t'be aggresshun wif th' tacit impunity thet might come by way of credence one's hapless allied vickimes'd likely renner sech fine-cloaked traito's.

Military equipment frequently gots interlocks t'prevent doodads likes some five-inch gun on some ship firin' point-blank at its own bridge. ;-) I duzn't dink it would be out uh o'da' even fum some realism standpoint t'build in some failsafes. Aldough it should certainly be possible t'betray yo' allies, dere is advantages t'havin' some warnin' system fo' dis. Fust, sincere allies legitimately dread da **** prospect uh a careless erro'. An obvious warnin' would help prevent dat. Man! Second, such some feature would make it impossible fo' some sucka t'be engagin' in subtle "gee, so'ry -- ah' goofed" machinashuns actually intended t'be aggression wid de tacit impunity dat might mosey on down by way uh credence one's hapless allied victimes would likesly renda' such well-cloaked traito's. Sufficient warnin's would make claims uh such accidental attacks non-credible.
Oh well,In retrospect Rasqual, don't change a thing. You're smart enough, you're good looking enough, and doggonit people like you!!!
