Brush Master HavoK Core RISE of LEGION 1031	Posted - 2014.01.17 16:30:00 - [1] - Quote Just a reminder to CCP that vehicle users would still like a simple +25 on mobile CRU spawns. It's been a requested feature for at least a year. Is there something complicated that's holding this back? 514th Wing // Team Fairy DUST // Havok Core [email protected]

Honestly I get less spawns on a mCRU then uplinks because mCRU is always 10 seconds and is glitched right now since you body has to be bleed out before you can spawn on it. I fly dropships all the time, so believe me I know how often people actually spawn on them. So unless they offer more levels of mCRU with faster spawns/higher spawn limits, I would not want limits. 514th Wing // Team Fairy DUST // Havok Core [email protected]
Varjac Theobroma Montenegro Omega Elite Mercs INC. 48	Posted - 2014.01.18 23:05:00 - [12] - Quote I had been thinking it could be worth more than a standard uplink. More people would then rely on Mcrus instead of regular uplinks and this might decrease uplink spam. I don't think it would be OP either, as in most cases the vehicle that has the greatest spawn effect, std DS, also costs a single clone to operate and not fight as a slayer. Also, most vehicles don't have staying power and can be pushed back so constant spawning wouldn't be too problematic. And if you time your shots right, you could kill a fully loaded vehicle. FAME

That should not even work to begin with. No limit should be used, as most vehicles are not around long enough for it to matter. But it should have an extended cool down after so many spawns, maybe 8? And then have an 80 second cool down. FAME

I would like to remember to the people who belives mCRU wp should be lower than uplink and/or limited that in order to fit a mCRU you have to make considerable sacrifices in either tank or utility, so i don't feel the need to limit the mCRU or have reduced WP.

I want to earn my WP for doing my job well, not by stopping players from having any other option, so again as an infantry player, please CCP give our vehicle Mercs WP for mCRU spawns, they're doing the work, they deserve the reward.

Thrillhouse Van Houten DIOS EX. General Tso's Alliance 83	Posted - 2014.02.19 04:35:00 - [37] - Quote deepfried salad gilliam wrote: honestly could be abused but i think wp for any type of spawn, uplink or crew should be 5% of wp earned by that person till they die This is a great idea, frankly. It encourages people to place GOOD/SAFE uplinks rather than getting points even if someone just spawns and dies on the uplink. I like the no seats/no spawn rule for mCRUs. The only problem? What if nobody will vacate the seats once spawned. It'd tick me off if I built a non-ADS Dropship for personnel insertions with a mCRU and a bunch of clueless blue dots just camped my open seats, making it impossible to spawn more people. An eject option? Could lead to blue griefing...and result in booting blues you want to keep (gunners). I also think there should be no spawn limit or cooldown, frankly. I run logi and I've played matches where, literally, my entire team has spawned only on my links. I have to die to throw down more links but I completely dominate the WPs for my team. If a driver/pilot can stay alive long enough to have everyone on their team spawn on their rig, I say they DESERVE the WP. The only problem is HAVs. HAV drivers can rack up sick amounts of WPs, they don't need massive spawn WPs too. Make mCRUs basically impossible to fit on rigs with ANY main guns (ADS and HAVs) by ramping up their CPU/PG costs and then it would be completely fair.

Komodo Jones Chaotik Serenity 514	Posted - 2014.02.19 18:25:00 - [40] - Quote My guess is they're going to have mcrus come with a limit as to how many spawns they will support and this is what will set apart basic from proto mobile crus, but that's the only change I can see coming to them. It's simple, the guy who called in the vehicle with the cru is the one that gets the team respawn points, just like throwing down an uplink. This is a signature. You're now reading it. You may now reply to my post.

Should only be +25 like uplinks - people on the ground have to use up resources to fit it too. WIth 1.8 changes (and CCP's hints of making equipment spam go away) mCRU's will be a lot more valuable tactically too, not just WP valuable. I do think that a mCRU's should also load people out faster than uplinks always. The difference here is risk/reward - that vehicle is a fatter and more expensive target than a scout/logi with an uplink.

Otherwise we'll have 10 Gorgons doing nothing but hovering at the map roof every match for free war points, would be as bad as red liners... I'm thinking have the pilot see a timer on how long until someone spawns, which gives them time to get down to a safe drop point.

The more dropships hanging around for spawns the less fighters on the ground doing what actually wins any of the current modes: body count and capturing points. Not an actual issue anymore than spamming uplinks and nanos. Also - it's pretty easy to see folks sky-diving from a dropship (and thus find and shoot them) and inherent in the inertial dampener animation is a 2 second window of 'standing up' before they can actually fight back...all thing in balance, no? Dropships in general need a good look at assists - Assault Ships are a little better off by virtue of not being dependent on squad mates for kills. But typical dropships could benefit from variations or bonuses such as... -Improved scanning for scan assists (the distance for a dropship is much greater than the avg HAV/LAV but they have much higher mobility). A scanning Dropship (the alternative to an Assault for example skill wise) could be called "Scout Ship" or some such. Bonuses to scanning enemies to provide insertion teams more battlefield intel. Would function same as existing scan assists. -Remote demolitions or bomb dropping. Careful aim and such would be needed, but dropships can become artillery platforms at high speeds as opposed to the current, "HOLD STILL I KEEP MISSING!!!" of the side mounted turrets. WP awarded for kills or assists, not the act in case a dud/miss preventing exploitation. -Vehicular Transport Tethers: seen in other games with dropship type vehicles, the ability to 'lift' an HAV or LAV and rapidly relocate on the battlefield. Juicy target for AV, but very useful role in cluttered 'urban' maps. Lifting would be a dual confirmation system - dropship requests to lift the LAV/HAV, LAV/HAV confirms the lift or denies (prevents mean pilots from screwing with ground vehicle pilots). WP awarded for when a vehicle transported travels over 300m (or some abitrary distance) or attains a kill or assist within 30 seconds of the dropoff. -Deployable Installations / Ground Equipment: Similar to vehicle tether, as CCP expands installations and eventually makes them player owned, dropship pilots would be awarded for the successful deployment of an asset (25 WP - nothing amazing and the asset is already team owned, preventing another 50 WP for 'hacking). Assets can only be deployed once - so dropping assets at the start for easy WP would be very pointless. (See Note at bottom how this is prevented also) Additional WP (perhaps 10 or less based on installation) would be awarded each time a DEPLOYED installation is used. EX: 1) 5 Points each time a team member spawns from a deployed CRU. 2) 10 Points each time a team member gains a kill from a deployed turret. 5 points if the turret kill was an assist. 3) I don't know how you could track a Supply Depot without creating unnecessary lag from the point system since it does so much. You can't reward suit changes because that is exploitable without timers, which adds more game lag in tracking. I'd recommend no bonus for Supply Depot usage and perhaps change to 50 WP on deployment. Note: To prevent exploitation of the mechanic, no two 'alike' installations can be deployed with 100m of each other. This could be suspended in the 'hardcore' matches of PC, but in standard matches this prevents "Bunkers" where a team of dropships could deploy four turrets to a small, ideal location and then provide two CRUs and two depots...potentially match breaking to say the least. Asset deployment is not allowed in red zone nor within a set distance of the MCC (Say 100m from the point on the ground that represents its location) and starting CRU's (Also 100m). Just various ideas for the dropship class and how it could be expanded without turning it into a WP farming addict. Vehicles should never devolve into WP farming as it can easily break infantry gameplay...and thus the game. Bad game = players leave = sad face. I'd be open to the idea of an activated mCRU that has distinct tactical advantages such as 3 second or less spawn times and unlimited spawns for, say, a 30 second duration with a 2 minute CD. Calls to mind "Hot Dropping" from EvE. In general though, I think they should not be activated for the sake of not further complicating an already difficult to FLY, let alone tactically use, vehicle. That guy you killed with 0% shields? Yeah, I sniped him - go team. Oh, you didn't know...hmm. *CCP: Display Assists!!!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting! It does seem like it is out of place. In SDE it was some how connected to the blackops hav and then ported to other vehicles?

(edit: with a cooldown before points are accumulated again, left that out :P) Or maybe make the cru have to "recharge"(resupply at a supply depot) and then you could just have a set amount of spawns per tier.

I never gave up asking for it in that time frame either. I'm not sure they have the resource needed to fix it though, as last explained to me, this thing comes from when the black ops tanks were around, the module is actually hacked together from days past, uses a separate system then other spawns and thus much more complex then it seems to be.

Cyrus Militani 99	Posted - 2014.05.29 22:14:00 - [68] - Quote Can tanks have seats regardless if there are turrets on them? That way if a tank doesn't have gunner seats you can still spawn in the tank - the only thing you can do is get in and out. It would also reduce the need for jeeps as you could hop in someone's tank to get where you need to go. Also an eject button for the driver would be nice. If someone is in your jeep/tank and you don't want them there you can push them out. This would be useful if you wanted to make room for a squad mate, or you wanted to recall the vehicle and need that stubborn blueberry to get out.
