DUST Search - Let's fix Recall vehicle feature

Krom Ganesh wrote:

As much as I'd like to have RDVs pick up recalled vehicles, coding that is much, much more difficult than a drop off system.

How about adding a risk vs. reward system? (Just throwing out an idea, please don't kill me)

Recalling a vehicle reduces it to a nano pack which is added to your dropsuit with some icon informing you that you have the pack (perhaps on the weapon wheel).

The pack can be deposited at any friendly supply depot or cru.

If you die while holding the pack, you lose the vehicle fitting.

If you call for another vehicle of the same type, the nano pack is used which allows the vehicle to deploy faster than a RDV delivers (as fast as a recall). If the recalled vehicle was damaged and/or did not have a full ammo cache, the 2nd vehicle will not be at full health and/or be missing some ammo.

If you call for a vehicle of a different type, the RDV will deliver it. If you also recall this vehicle, you will be holding multiple packs.

Accompanying changes:
Increased RDV delivery time
Decreased recall time

Risk:
Even after recalling, your vehicle is still in danger
Vehicles of the same type are not at full health/ammo capacity

Reward:
Quickly bring out vehicles you had previously called for

Tactics:
A tanker could have their tank but also have a cheap and fast vehicle stored as a nanopack. When their tank is in danger, they can get to cover, swap it out for their fast vehicle and easily get to safety.

Kane Fyea Scions of Athra 2524	Posted - 2013.12.30 03:33:00 - [1] - Quote Ok well I think most people can agree that this feature is obviously broken. So I think there should be a few requirements that need to be met before you can recall your vehicle. Now not all of these need to be implemented but something needs to be done about the recall feature. 1. Modules cannot be on cool own when you recall. This stops people from just recalling and calling back in to get through their cool downs. This will hurt new tankers more then ones with a bit of SP investment because cool downs decrease through the tiers. 2. You cannot recall during combat. This stops people from just recalling because they are going to die. This would only happen with AV weapons or other tank weapons 3. I think there should be a limit on how many recalls you can do per match. Limit it to like 5. I am always open to feedback too :). If you have any other ideas post them below.

You cannot change suits if your current one is too damaged(Let's say <25% armor HP left). Your gun has to be fully reloaded(you're already at an SD. this shouldn't really be a problem.) If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

I'm a very big tank enthusiast and I like idea #1.

Truthfully I agree with you. There should be requirements like this to change suits at the supply depot. Everyone you guys can also suggest things to help fix the supply depot problem too.

I'm a very big tank enthusiast and I like idea #1. Yea the first one is my preferred option too although I still think there should be something to stop tanks from recalling in combat which both 2 and 3 would help with that a little. You don't know how many times I've almost killed a tank and the driver just recalls right before I can destroy it.
Aizen Intiki Hell's Gate Inc 615	Posted - 2013.12.30 03:41:00 - [7] - Quote I'd rather have: 1: RDV picks up vehicle 2: that vehicle 's modules has to cooldown before you can call that one in 3: repairs are done after cooldowns have ended, and goes at 100 HP/S or whatever the local reppers can do 4: If multiple fits of that fit is available, you can keep on calling those in until you run out (put all fits on cooldown or lost them in fights), and will have to wait until more is available (some comes off of cooldown, or you buy more). That would work better imo "Hello, world!" lol, sounds like something a whore lover would say Alt of the great Godin I like chocolate ^___^
Heathen Bastard The Bastard Brigade 828	Posted - 2013.12.30 03:42:00 - [8] - Quote Honestly, modules shouldn't reset if you call in a new tank(then again, I have complex modules and the CD skill at 20% reduction so it would actually take me longer to recall and get a new tank than to simply wait out the CDs of them) If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

Also like I said the module cooldown one really only effects low SP investment tankers.

I was running low on just about everything in my tank(ammo,armor, everything on cooldown) and when I tried to knock out three birds with one stone by recalling it and then calling in a fresh one the game would not let me do so until the tank finished repping itself and the modules reset.

If you've dealt damage or had damage dealt to you in the past 60 seconds you can't recall your vehicle. Try to kill it all you want CCP, I still <3 my laser.

Sometimes changeing suits is the only way to get ammunition out of supply depost they seem a bit bugged from time to time. If thats fixed I agree withe last one as well.
