I've held tanks for blueberries that were killed calling it in on 3 occasions, sitting in the drivers seat, not moving the tank unless it is threatened. On two of those occasions, I see the same blueberry getting kills later in the match in a different tank. No attempt to retrieve it. The final one, right after the blueberry got killed, he immediately got on team chat to cuss me out for 'stealing his tank.' After I fended off 2 reds hacking it. So I drove it to the redline.

I would wait and see if anyone hopped In and then I'd ride gunner on a dropship, if no one hopped in, I would do the same and go on team chat and find out who's it is.

I fly dropships and have had a few logi and assault dropships stolen by random blueberries because the RDV decided to drop it off Ina another location. Believe me, I have never raged as hard as I did when my incubus was stolen and then blown up 5 seconds later.....I may have shed a tear when it lit up the sky.....RIP incubus #1

The only vehicles I steal are enemy vehicles and the occasional militia jeep that's just sitting in the middle of nowhere, even then I still wait a few seconds to see if anyone comes running after the jeep.

i would defo rage quit in that scenario... been through 4 controlers playing dust.. completely changed my perspective on gaming

The only time I've ever "stole" a vehicle it was an abandoned Blood Raider Saga. I was caught in a gunfight and I used it to run away "Hey, you come in handy!"

When in a squad, I try to rescue my teammate's vehicles jumping in and driving away when they die. They usually do the same for me.

Once I called in a Sica, and while I was waiting for it to show up, I got killed.

A guy on my team ran away and let the enemy hack it instead of hopping in and driving away.

If you're standing there, watching the vehicle and not getting in, I'm sorry, but no, "stealing" your vehicle IS NOT THEFT. It's picking up an abandoned vehicle.

If I die when my HAV is about to arrive, and I'm on mic, I encourage my teammates to collect the tank. NOT to "steal" it, because I'm not there to claim it any more. They're SAVING it from being either useless or a benefit to the enemy team.

good evening, im silverback zero two and on tonights episode of WWYD we conduct a social experiment to see the mentality of the players of DUST 514.

vehicle stealing-

over the past week me and my team have put in place a specific scenario within the public matchs and the results are some what disturbing.

the scenario 1-

a militia dropship was called in at the start of 10 different skimish public matchs and the pilot instead of jumping in waited outside to see what players would do.

the result-

all ten dropships where then stolen by blueberrys without disregard for the teammate who has spent his isk to call it in.

SCENARIO 2-

now lets change things up, instead of a militia dropship we called in 10 python assault dropships one in each different skimish pub match.

the result-

out of the 10 assault dropships 9 were stolen.. thats all but one. one blueberry who was in an organised squad sat in the **** pit and then went on to team chat and said "hey anybody here? whos python is this.. its in the ground spawn?"

he then gave the dropship back to the pilot and we then confessed that it was all part of a social experiment!

we were blown away by this good samaritain and we each gave him 20 million isk for showing us that their is at least one good blue berry in this game. a total of 120 mil isk.

the hero who has chosen to remain anonymous due to PC conflict with the corp he is in, is a testement to the % of players that choose to do the right thing..

out of 20 scenarios only one player did not steal the unnoccupied vehicle.


now ask yourself in that situation.. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

I've held tanks for blueberries that were killed calling it in on 3 occasions, sitting in the drivers seat, not moving the tank unless it is threatened.

One time you stole my HAV, and I had to chase you around the map shooting at you. You finally got out when it was about to explode, and I somehow saved it. You deserve every curse that comes your way

That brings up a good point - if it's a BPO I have not qualms at all in taking it under any situation since they can call another in at no cost - I won't take anything someone had to pay for unless I'm trying to save it (as mentioned in a previous post).

Stuff

The only solution is to lock the vehicles from other people until the person who called the vehicle gets in first.
