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...

And I'm sure CCP would overreact and completely remove the points :c

Boosters ruin the fun for everyone. WP are so stoopeed :3

WPs will still mean a lot towards orbitals and those don't get capped.

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.

I'm not a tanker if that's what your ***** is. This idea of yours was already implied by my OP and was part of the idea.

and maybe even it's occupants

I'm sure it would do alot to ease the pain of losing a vehicle if you had the chance of bringing it back

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 LLAV and LDS are a limitation, otherwise we'd just have tankers reviving each other in a neverending cycle. Tanks are the Heavy of the vehicle world, it's time the L in LLAV was put to good use. Plus a player standing there for 10 or so seconds with a rep tool would be the biggest, squishiest target since never.

Also, try putting a repair tool on a Heavy. I dare you :D

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.

If you feel like going fully attack, you may want to calm down for a spell. In EVE and DUST an unmanned vehicle easily has it's loyalty flipped. I simply took the idea as understood and didn't highlight it in the OP for fear of a severe backlash from the vehicular community. Furthermore, please do calm the venom down. You are obviously not a Vehicle player judging from your edit, so please do not try and kick a wasp's nest here with the large number of Vehicle users passing through. I'd rather the thread be used for good rather than another AV vs V vs AR slapfight.

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.
