I understand that this is probably the 596th post about the Killer Taxi problem but I just gotta put my 2 cents in. Why not just make it impossible to kill players by running them down. Just like when the ability to run down team mates was changed. Being pushed along is inconvenience enough.

because that would make sense. shame on you.

How does that make sense?
>Gets hit by car at top speed
>Takes no damage

I think they should take massive feedback damage because if two hunks of metal collide at high speed they both receive feedback it's physics 101 really

I still think vehicles should take damage from hitting people.
The bigger the target the more damage.
that's just physics

I'm guessing the armor cars weigh at least 2 tons.

We don't know what dropsuits weigh; they aren't mechs either, so they're not gonna weigh 40 tons or so. Dropsuit defenses are designed against projectiles. They're not designed to protect the user from 2 tons smashing into them.

Then there's the argument "what about heavies." There's a difference between dropsuit armor and vehicle armor. Dropsuit armor still allows the user the mobility of all joints. Vehicle armor just adds to the hull, so it doesn't need to be very thin and flexible.

Say, 2 tons vs 300lbs. What do you think is going to win?

You also have to remember that you can survive like a 50 foot fall in a dropsuit so it can't be that week and complex plates add a 10% movement penalty so they can't be that light either.

We're not talking about a Ford F-150 here. We're talking about 2.3" of armor here. There's.... easy things to compare that to. Dropsuit armor could be less than 1" thick. We're also not talking about the LAV hitting a brick wall.

Easy fix... car takes as much damage as it deals in collision damage.

Lets see how long people murder taxi now

lolno

Fix in 1.4 is coming that makes it so LAVs can only kill you at top speed.

top speed you say. so all I need to do is ad a fuel injector and it's back to the splatter fest. GL
