Yeah, I ended up AFKing three matches yesterday because I hopped into a match with some blueberry that decided that because I dropped in a tank, he was entitled to feed off my WP.

No, there was no chance of his helping me. I was using a railgun fitted with blasters for the rider turrets, deeeep in the redline.

thats so common its not even funny.

have you had a blueberry call in an LAV just to chase you down and hop in before?

how about the same blueberry doing it 3 times after youve AFKed in the redline till he got his dumbass out 3 times....

wait an listen for 1.5 this has been something that being looked at for long enough that a preliminary version of it just may sneak in there.

the problem is that is not an easy task to diferentiate driver steats from passinger code wise, so its alot more work then it seems.

its not as simple as a few lines of code, its a complete rework on the passinger system as well,


but theres a very good chance that something will be cooked up for then, but dont get your hopes up too high.

I think if you don't have the skills to use the vehicle as fitted you shouldn't be able to use it. The same rule as eve.

Just tells you what a poorly designed mess of spaghetti code it must be.

They've totally forgotten to consider the affordances of something they throw into the game and this is the consequence.

On the other hand though anarchy is a good thing, so carry on.

I have a counter preposal. Instead of a lock, how about we do this by skill. If the scrub can't fly a dropship (he has no skills into dropships of any race) then he is instantly put into the gunner seat and does not have access to the pilot seat as he doesn't have the knowledge on how to open the door.
Furthermore if he doesn't have any skills into turret opperation then he is put into one of the transport slots, as he cannot figure out the user interface on the turret controls without the turret opperation skill. If I have prototype turrets on my dropship, he needs turret op 5 to opperate it.

This would make scrubs simply unable to opperate nice shiny toys they don't know how to use

sometimes i switch seats and let someone else drive which usually is a better driver than i am how would a vehicle lock affect that

blue berry stole my dropship and couldnt fly it like the f***ing noob he is and crashed.

I'd rather just keep them out. How are we supposed to recall when these idiots are just chilling inside our vehicles?

Code wise. I am certain vehicles are locked for around 5 seconds after they drop.

Lol even planetside has locks but i love dust more than it and you shoulda be grateful he died :D

theres been a lot of debate on this thread so just to clarify the details of how this happened to me-

i took a breach forge gun hit which took my 4000 shield dropship down to half armour... i quickly got to a safe place emergency landed and jumped out to repair my dropship..

the blueberry gunner then jumped out and back in as i was repping and flew off in my dropship leaving me next to the red line devasted and emotionally scarred for life as i turned my playstation off in protest.
