I do my absolute best to abuse this just so we get more focus on this issue. Nothing more annoying than some pubbie oxygen thief stealing a slot and shooting walls and thin air just for giggles. If they plan to implement finite ammo, they better implement a lock slot and a kick occupant feature.

Yes we do. We do plan to add vehicle locks. However we will not have time in 1.5 along with all the other vehicle work. We hope to add them shortly afterwards.

CCP doesn't give a rip about this feature, it's been asked about since the beta, might as well make it so that you can steal people's dropsuits too. Good luck getting a response.

OMG OMG OMG FINALLY, although you couldv started earlier...

Essentially the idea is to allow a toggle for me/squad/team.

Glad you're happy :-)

What you should keep in mind is that with features like this it's usually going up against others and we have to make a call on what's more important. For example should we have added locks to the vehicles instead of fixing problems we found with hit detection or aiming? Should we add locks now or fix these 20 irritating little bugs/glitches? These are the kind of calls we have to make with all features like this no matter how much we really want to add them sometimes we have to wait.

Anyway, I'll let you guys know when we do start on it. Essentially the idea is to allow a toggle for me/squad/team.

"Visuals
* Improved animation LOD switching for better visual display
* Added new vehicle shield and vehicle armor effects
* Optimizations made to vehicle models and dropship thruster effects to decrease performance cost
* Made Visual improvements to SSAO, rays and dynamic tone mapping
* Added HUD translucency option
* Environment Mood color values reset to match the corresponding level moods
* Fixed particle lights so weapons and objects around the player will be illuminated when firing a weapon
* Fixed shield impact effects for small handheld weapons so itGÇÖs visually easier to recognize if you are inflicting shield or armor damage"


wasted time , thats what that is

Since they're adding back vehicle shield/armor effects (which does Nothing to help us vehicles lol)
I'd expect'll be adding back the forge gun glow? Right?


/sarcasm

Thats a differant team dude.... Art more than features

Yup, most of it is. The animation LOD switching and thruster effects optimizations were us (the latter task was a collaboration with other teams). The LOD tasks fixed a boatload of horrible animation glitches and bugs including some that effected targeting. The thruster work improves frame rate. I don't think of either of those were a waste of time :-)

Wolfman, sarcasm aside, this is a very valid point. It is quite crippling to not be able to see forges charging up.

The problem you're experiencing may be related to a draw distance bug on HAV's that we have fixed in 1.4. Either way, I'll check.
