See LucasArt's X-Wing v. Tie Fighter. Outright kills (all damage upon
victim inflicted by player) is assigned as per usual. Assists are any
kills where the player has inflicted at least a third. Three kills and 7
assists is show as 3(7). Yes, it does mean there is a chance of more
assists than actual kills but it does work well, imho. Though if players
are allowed to heal, this system might go pear-shaped.

Parashooting with 70 lbs of combat equipment is reserved for the extremely
lucky, gullible, insane - or rather talented. :)
