Why make it so supply depots are the only way to recall or resupply? There aren't even supply depots in accessible locations on most maps. They are elevated, underground, or behind rails. Sorry, but I have no choice but to recall.

Tanks are no longer expensive enough to warrant this game mechanic.

They don't need more get out of jail free cards as well as having a portal supply depot to refill ammunition.

It is a completely unnecessary game mechanic now.

I still say vehicles should be deployed via nanite capsules and to put them away they would break themselves down, have it take 30 seconds or so before they just became a useless brick.

Love this idea.

I'm in favor of teleporting assets back and forth, would be nice not losing dropships to invisible RDVs halfway to the flight ceiling....

Unfortunately I'm also in favor of following lore, and if we're gonna have RDVs come down, you need to have them go up, especially when the recall message even tells you an RDV is coming to get it....

Stacking damage mods is the main reason RDVs pop so easily to railguns, it's the main reason anything pops so easily to railguns. If it weren't for that, you could just find a safe place to recall just like you have to find a safe place to deploy.

No thanks, I have to swap out between different Incubus fits multiple times per match.

RDVs need to come down and grab the vehicles, and the recall itself should take a little longer to activate. Maybe make it so you can't initiate recall if you've taken damage in the last 15-30 seconds.

Nothing else is needed

Vehicles (especially dropships) tend to flip all the time, sometimes even at deployment.

Until we get the ability to flip them back over, the recall needs to stay.

so the recall rdv will clog up the normal rdv incoming q and cost more ram and memory for maps, like we don't already have lag problems. If you need to switch a fit because the feel on the battlefield changes, so be it. The current mechanic is fine. Your entitled to your own opinion, even if your opinion is completely wrong and unethical.

So RDVs know how to come down, but not up?

If they had to go to supply depots or something to recall that'd be nice.

As it is, driving around a corner and then vanishing safely out of existence is ridiculously stupid, although I'm sure Spkr or someone similar will be in here to defend their crutch shortly.

I'm all for taking the recall away if you want to give up swapping suits at supply depots. It makes just as little sense.

As far as Supply Depots being "accessible" to HAVs, etc. It seems like you could just make the recall stipulation something like "within X meters of a Supply Depot controlled by your team".

If you had a deploy/terrain error when you spawned in, you'd theoretically be within whatever range of the Supply Depot on your side of the map. Recall.

If you need to recall during battle, you'd be forced to get at least somewhat near to one your team controls. The X meters here can be whatever is reasonable.

It imposes a similar restriction on vehicles as players that want to change fits... access/control of supply depot and coming within a certain range of it. If the other team (or you) blow up all the supply depots on the map, then there's no recalling or suit swapping for anyone. Seems fair.

As far as texture/terrain glitches causing problems outside the range of your spawn area's supply depot... that falls in the same category as infantry players that get stuck on in-game terrain (we have to suicide and aren't reimbursed).

However, Tanks do need the ability to recall to re-fit and re-arm.
