Indeed, G46 is THE common penalty. Teams, no matter what you did, chances are good you'll ride up on a ball, so start thinking NOW about what you can do to prevent it a little.
G17 isn't just unconscious human players; those big penalties happen when a ball is scored by the system but not recorded as going back onto the field for some reason - it them becomes impossible to satisfy the DOGMA and wow, do those penalties add up fast.
But, we did see one trident operator actually leaning on the trident, watching the match, while his alliance partners literally handed him the balls scored. Needless to say, penalties lost the match for them.
