I hear that vehicles will be locked to non-squad members in 1.5. Since this doesn't relate to the vehicle rebalance which has been put off hopefully this'll still happen

Yes we do. We do plan to add vehicle locks. However we will not have time in 1.5 along with all the other vehicle work. We hope to add them shortly afterwards.

I have already had to dump mCRUs in my DS that im working on skilling into and have to run a mile from anyone before I call it in. Im sure plenty of DS pilots (especially the much higher level ones than myself) are tired of this as well.

If we cant have a lock on our vehicles can we atleast have a self destruct button. Make it so we hit self destruct and a message like "Owner Initiated Self Destruct -- Unauthorized Vehicle Operator" atleast then people will get the idea that its not their right to help themself to a few hundred k of my isk and promptly ram it into the ground.



Im sure this rant has seen many times before but i felt like adding one of my own.

Carry on merc.

How do you call in a dropship and not get in it before someone else? As someone who does pilot ADS and logi dropships, iv only had someone steal one ONCE when I had to get out and rep it (when armour burn was still there)

I think there is a priority for the owner to enter the vehicle. When you call in vehicle you are the first one to see "Tap O to enter vehicle" prompt. Everybody else will see it delayed couple of seconds. If you don't make it in time, you might get robbed...

there is a lock to the person calling it in that starts from when you call it in which may expire before the RDV drops your vehicle.

never had a problem with someone stealing my dropship from RDV spawn

If i need my veh, i go into empty and flat area and make sure i am the only one around before calling RDV in... When you are standing in your teams red zone, with few other mercs close to you, chances are they too are calling in RDVs in the same time. When veh drops in they can simply think it's theirs...

it happens.

Sometimes you can't avoid it like today. RDV bugged. Kept glitch-dropping my ship for a minute. Luckily I was not killed by an enemy but when it dropped for Real (50th time) that less than 3 second grace period where the pilot can enter but others cannot get in- was not there.

In other words it dropped perfectly open to anyone and some blue standing right there got in a millisecond before me, despite standing under it at the ready the whole time.

He proceeded to lift up about 3 feet, flip over, crash and explode the whole thing. It was so super cool!

So..... that'll mean we can't use dropships anymore? That sucks. I'd understand the driver seat getting a lock but the whole vehicle?

I just want a kick button. Or a gas mask for every seat. Get in my asset without permission, and I'm gassing your ass
