Why do i sometimes share my abilities like hazard emmiters or engineering team with someoen else? I dont want to do this especially when i need them to live. Is there anyway to avoid doing this?

    Although not entirely sure what you mean... i think what you are saying is why do abilities affect other players when you use them. The reason is that some abilities like Engineering Team, Science Team etc. are placed on the ally that your current targeted enemy is attacking.

    So if you are attacking an enemy, and the enemy is attacking someone else (not you), when you use the ability it gets applied to the target of your target. If you want to make sure that the ability affects you, you either have to a) make sure your target is targetting you, or b) press F1 (to select yourself) before you activate said ability.

    Make sense?

    Press F1 before using a skill that can also be used on an ally if you want to use it on yourself.
    F1 always targets you.

    Also of note, F2, F3, F4 and F5 will work for the rest of your team, from top to bottom.
