Atiim Living Like Larry Schwag 5998	Posted - 2014.03.22 05:12:00 - [1] - Quote Making CRUs An Active Modules Although it's an Active Module, it would have an Infinite uptime. This allows the pilot to control when infantry spawn into the vehicle, preventing them from spawning in a tight spot while allowing vehicle users to recall their vehicle without having to worry about infantry spawning in before having a chance to start the recall process. Spawn Mechanics I've noticed that if you have seats in your vehicle, the CRU will allow spawns until the vehicle is filled, but then deactivate. I propose that this is changed to where units are spawned outside the vehicle if all the seats are taken. Squad-Locked CRUs I'd like the option to squad lock the CRUs as well. Basically, it would have it's own dial (similar to Squad Lead Commands), and would have the following options. 1. Squad Lock 2. Team Lock 3. Not sure what I'd call this one (team squad lock?), but it would only allow you to spawn in if you are in a squad. War Point Gain I would also like to implement Team Spawn points for infantry units that spawn in using the CRU, as well as implementing the Transport Assist WP feature present in Dropships (not really sure how that would work though) ((On a side-note, if you could allow pilots to choose which seat the Small Turrets are placed in, as well as adjusting the Missile fall-off damage range, it'd be greatly appreciated)). -HAND AV > HAV > INF > AV \| Not: HAV > AV GëÑ INF [s]Text[/s] <-------- That's how you make a strike-through -HAND

A recall initiation should eject people in your vehicle...one thousand feet into the air. Indeed. But at least we can cook them in our Dropship by hovering over the heating vents.

Also if you neglect equipping your tank with small turrets but still have a cru, anyone spawning on the HAV will land outside of it. What we really need though is the ability to determine for ourselves if blueberries should have access to our vehicles or not. Settings should be something like this: 1. Owner only 2. Squad Members Only 3. All I've lost count of how many times some idiot blueberry decides to steal my vehicles (when they can't even operate it properly and just get themselves blown up for no good reason). Blueberries should at the very least be forced to hack friendly vehicles in order to gain access to them just like you would do on an enemy vehicle. I'll make note of that. Thanks. I agree with your first idea, but I don't think it's a good idea to force blueberries to hack the friendly vehicle. That could really hamper the ability to send back-up in competitive game-modes (PC and FW). HAV is the new APC [s]Text[/s] <-------- That's how you make a strike-through -HAND

Pros Incentive to spend SP on the Mobile CRU skill (beyond Level 1) Pilot is able to decide who spawns in their vehicle Pilot is able to have over 2 people spawn in, while still having turrets Pilot is rewarded for spawning in infantry HAVs become more of a team asset Encourages teamwork CRU locks wouldn't hamper their use during q-syncs in FW Reduces the demand for Drop Uplinks, allowing your team to run other pieces of equipment Gives HAVs a roll other than being a Slayer Logi with 4 wheels & and an 80GJ Turret, while still being practical Doesn't create an imbalance between V/V or V/AV Cons ...

I think that we should have the ability to "turn off" any of our up links or CRUs from the battle screen (either while active, or even after death) I dig the other ideas as well, except for spawning outside of the a DS while it's in flight. There is absolutely no reason I shouldn't be able to spawn into a vehicle with a CRU as long as it's under my team's control. Squad lock would be fantastic, don't know about the other locks though That would only happen if all of the seats in the DS are filled, as opposed to what it does now when the seats are filled; which is not allowing any spawns whatsoever. #LivingLikeLarry [s]Text[/s] <-------- That's how you make a strike-through -HAND

Yeah, I get what you are saying, what I was saying is that the spawn would only occur if the DS was on the ground, if it was in the air, it would not allow any more than the seats avail. Player confusion could lead to spawning in on the DS just high enough to drop shields/armor, but not high enough to engage the dampener. Unless your a Scout or Logi running around with Base HP, there is no height that will cause enough fall damage to kill you, while not having the opportunity to use the Inertia Dampener. Besides, the only time a DS will ever be on the ground is when your picking up troops, resupplying, or recalling it. Otherwise you risk becoming lunch for a nearby Railgun. #LivingLikeLarry [s]Text[/s] <-------- That's how you make a strike-through -HAND

Also I think you should be able to kick blues out of the ds. By the way great ideas, and maybe the proto cru can reduce the spawn timer. ( heads up CCP agrees with this post and they are gonna do some changes. ) It's a heating vent. I agree, but CCP said that they are having "technical difficulties" with introducing a kick option for the vehicle owner/pilot. #LivingLikeLarry [s]Text[/s] <-------- That's how you make a strike-through -HAND
