You can revive dropsuits, why not vehicles? Could be a very interesting new dynamic to the game if they offered that.

However, I could see the potential for exploit given how quickly remote armor repairs on vehicles could bring a tank back. Imagine the WP farming.... +180... revive +180.... etc... you could have an easy 10k WP by the end of a match...

"Secretary!! Get LLAV on line 1! I think we just found it's intended role!"

Yeah it would be cool to blow up a several million isk HAV and then salvage it or bring it back to life for my team to use against the guy that just lost it :-)

Edit : ohh wait no, but that's not what you want is it, you just want it to cost you less !

Would it be available to spider tankers? Seems strange to make a module that is exclusive to two vehicles, kinda defeats the purpose of this game's whole customization system, seeing as you can put what you want on whatever you want.

But yeah, I agree with this revival system.

Your post in no way implies the enemy could salvage or resurrect your vehicle ... in fact it contains 3 points that directly imply it would only be for friendlies to save your vehicles ...


also you refer to it as a 'revive' and a 'Revival System' which implies it to be like the Nanite Injector reviving a dropsuit which can only used on friendlies.

So no it wasn't implied by your OP and if it was part of the idea you concealed it well.

The thing is, I can't put a repair tool on a heavy because it doesn't have an equipment slot. HAVs, on the other hand, DO have module slots. I've heard the suggestion that CCP should add drone bays to vehicles, which would act as a vehicle equivalent of equipment. Maybe if they ever did this, HAVs wouldn't get any bays, and your suggestion would become a drone slot.

To be honest I'm tired of seeing these half brained ideas that would only cause months of development time when simply reducing the cost of the vehicle would achieve the same goal, to quote your OP again "ease the pain of losing a vehicle" and take a few seconds deleting a zero off the end of a few numbers so the devs can get on with, I don't know, developing the game !

I'd rather the thread and many others simply didn't exist, cos someone at CCP has had to waste their time reading through it when they could have used that time thinking about things like how an sp event will be played to get the most from it. Then we might have got a better system before someone else wasted their time writing up a devblog and a forum post to promote it.

There's FAR more important things that need to be developed in this game than a revival tool for vehicles, especially considering vehicles aren't killed like clones, they are destroyed.

Can you use your salvage ship to 'revive' your wreck in Eve ? No, nuff said.

I don't play EvE TBH, so I couldn't particularly use any information from it to my advantage, but that sounds like a more than reasonable idea. Does that mean that LLAVs and LDSs would have the same role bonus though? I wonder if one is more suited to this revive mechanic than the other, or if the role bonus would apply to all triage-related modules?

Derp

You don't revive the dropsuit, you revive the clone inside of the dropsuit.

"due time" will be third decade if this carries on ! The secondary market won't happen until we have an economy which won't happen until the items we use are manufactured and that can't happen until DUST has manufacture because DUST can't be reliant on Eve to build it's items because if it was DUST still wouldn't have an economy it would just have Eve as an isk sink.

Clones are flesh and blood ... vehicles are alloys and plastics ... flesh and blood dies ... alloys and plastics are destroyed. I think you might be confusing clones with dropsuits.


And your Badger is a Tech 1 ship which get bonuses from skills ... Tech 2 (specialised) ships have role bonuses as well as the skill bonus, the T2 version of your Badger is a Crane which has the Cloak role bonus, you can fit what you want in the highslot of a Badger it would still get it's skill bonus of increased cargo.

It also has no role bonus as it's a T1 ship, so it made a wrong conversation point. The thread has been made, damage is already done !

Also Dropsuits cannot be revived since to be revived they must be dead and since you can't kill an inanimate object you can't revive a dropsuit. That's why the repair tool is called a repair tool, because it repairs dropsuits armor, just because some of the nanites in an injector are used to repair the dropsuit doesn't mean you are reviving the inanimate object.

Your last point makes my case ... "If you just want to revive the clone any old rusted Militia thing will do." as it perfectly well does, the militia injector revives the clone without doing much in the way of repairing the dropsuit.

Are YOU going to continue plagueing the forums with this "drivel".

Edit : I've got another 2 films to watch while I read forums on my phone !

Incorrect ... I argued against the entirety of the idea here ...

and my reasons for making the idea disappear are here ...


How you manage to figure the rest of those capitals are "important words" is beyond me ... only idea I've got is the feeble mind one you provided.
