I can understand not wanting randoms just jumping in your vehicles and spending the game riding round earning assist point (that's another subject - the owner should be getting assists for people getting kills using his/her asset - but not gunners - I've even said elsewhere you could possibly get assists for calling in a second vehicle for someone unskilled to use - so long as it's not abusable in any way)

However vehicles are sometimes a good means to get somewhere safe, out of the line of fire when you're low on health. What would you think to those turret-less seats (maybe turreted ones too) giving a small armor repair rate (or shield aswell) quickening their exit if that's their purpose for entering and providing you with some triage points for giving them repairs.

It shouldn't be too much repair, or it'd be taking away from the logistics role, but it could be a small hp boost to their dropsuits regen and provide the driver with some wp in exchange for a short term safe haven.

What you think ?

NO
That blueberry is already in there since I called it in and he has no intention of leaving. He spent ZERO SP, ZERO ISK, and gives ZERO ***** about my tank. Small gunners are nothing but an annoyance currently with the horrible small turret hit detecton and inability to lock your vehicle. The fact that CCP just started looking into locks just made me lose even more faith in their ability to listen to player feedback.

THAT blueberry has just got in your vehicle because he's under fire and low on health and your vehicle happened to be close by. If you re-read my post the first paragraph is explaining my understanding of you not wanting randoms riding in your vehicle ALL GAME. The second paragraph is about a different situation (maybe you're in my squad) when you have an empty seat and you're the nearest safe spot to take cover while my suit repairs itself so I can jump out and get back to the fight (if it had a turret I could stay in the fight, but that's not the point) ... it would be nice if that vehicle could assist my repairs, providing the driver with some triage wp and getting me back into the fight quicker.

Because if not, you don't know what you're talking about. Yes I have run HAVs ... I also tank, but then so does everybody ! Have you read that post at all ? It's referring to the blueberry that's low on health and jump in your spare seat to remain in the fight while his armour repairs itself ... NOT the type of blueberry that jumps in your vehicle just to AFK the match earning assist points. I swear reading comprehension is SEVERELY lacking on these forums !
