Why would you try to stop your own teammate from hacking an enemy LAV ???
This is counter productive. you should stop that.

Then remove BPO dropsuits, weapons, and modules as well. Fair is fair, after all.

~20,000 ISK will buy you a MLT Onikuma or Baloch.

As a Heavy, I use the **** out them.
Just try not to get too close to the firefight and recall it. I think I've been using the same one for almost 2 weeks.

I removed the OEM missile launcher and replaced it with a blaster, just in case.

How is it a "cheap tactic" for a heavy to transport himself to a contested objective/installation?

Did I say "drive around looking for lonewolfers to kill"? No I didn't. Did I say "go to firefight, jump out, stand next to LAV and shoot until almost dead, jump in LAV and drive off"? No I didn't!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being able to transport myself from one objective to another.

Not trying to be a smart ass, but,

Congratulations to the People who can afford to spend $50 - $100 on the packs. Where does that leave the rest of us?

EDIT: Not everyone can afford to drop that kind of cash at the moment.

So, spend time recalling a vehicle, when I could be helping my squad capture/recapture/defend an objective/installation.

Makes perfect sense!

"My precious..."

If that 4 seconds it takes to recall your vehicle is going to screw your team, the battle was already lost.

No emoticon necessary.

You dont even have to spec into vehicles to get a cheap one to use, just toss together a cheap militia fit one to drive you around. max cost like 10k isk, if you cant make more than 10k isk in a match you should probably just uninstall the game.

I said nothing about SP, but now that you mention it, Heavies are already enough of an SP sink without having to spec into vehicles simply to get to where we are needed.

I make plenty more than 10k isk in a match, so your smart ass comments are not really necessary or wanted in this thread.

The point is, 10k is is too much to lose because of lolblueberry "team members" or not having enough time to recall the thing.

I don't think it is too much to spend ISK on a MLT LAV and recall it.

What is stopping the reimplementing of Free MLT LAVs?

As a Heavy, I really need transportation to be viable in nearly every map. While many objectives have CQ areas, the areas themselves are separated by vast expanses of barren landscape. These desert wastes are a death sentence to any Heavy trying to cross on foot.

Having to spec into a vehicle is ridiculous for a Heavy. It would only incur an ISK loss for any Heavy.

To prevent the loss, we would have to recall the LAV. This is not viable because of the nature of the Heavies role. When a Heavy is needed to lay down fire, we don't have time to recall a vehicle. We just simply get as close as possible, get out and shoot. Trying to recall a vehicle while under fire is tantamount to suicide, so we must leave it where it sits. This results in one of 4 things, the LAV getting stolen by a "team member" which is most likely, the LAV getting destroyed by the enemy, the LAV self destructing as an unattended vehicle, or an enemy team member hacking the vehicle.

I'm confident that I can speak for all Heavies when I say we want our free LAVs returned!

So... you want to be able to roll up on somebody, jump out with no delay time, and immediately be in a player's face with high health and an HMG at no extra risk of losing any fake in-game money?

Yeah, that's something CCP should get right on 'fixing'.

Also not trying to be a smart ass but, Money makes the world go round and the developers don't live on complements alone. Come cut my grass, I'll give you $50.

$50 dollars is not a large amount of money to spend on something you enjoy. Many people have spent much more and gotten much less. How much does dinner and a movie cost these days?

Yeah, to be fair they should reimburse the owners of free LAV's and remove them entirely.

Dust has no room for BPO vehicles. That's a pandoras box in the making

You obviously didn't read the entire OP

Does anybody read the entire OP of a thread before posting?

I actually did. A way to remedy your problem is to get out outside the battle zone and recall before getting into the fight.

This is a team based game, so you shouldn't have to drive alone. It's uneconomical and more dangerous. Take the bus.

Specifically a dropship.

Get together with 4-5 of your friends and call in an air taxi. The dropship is specifically built to get you where you want to go quickly and in style. With the advent of patch 1.5 the dropship should easily survive the trip and allow you and your friends to drop on the objective and take it by overwhelming force rather than trickling in by the carload and getting cut down.

Imagine you and five of your heavy friends making an unannounced call at your favorite installation!
