While I applaud your ideas, this is Dust. Which is in New Eden, which is filled with undesirables that play EVE.
CCP/Iceland aka Mothership beget EVE and other things (although no vampires, weird huh?) that all fumble around in New Eden. Their corporate motto is HTFU. They even have video.
The promo for Dust has a pod peep bailing on a contract with a Merc team. Decisions have consequences indeed.
So, I doubt if this will find any traction in a dev studio that is driven by a company that revels in man's inhumanity to man.
Or to clones. Even their precious pod peeps.
Good game play? How about game play that is not fundamentally broken? That would be step in a direction. 
And so it goes.

I don't like it, just to be clear. I think many of the tactics that are embraced in EVE are horrible and make me not want to be associated with EVE Online, its multitude of nerds playing point and click in Spaaace nor the founders of Gankers R Us aka CCP.
As far as Dust goes it is worse, frankly. Because CCP/Shanghai has added some lame solution for nearly every release since 1.0, definitely since 1.4 onward. The first patches were just to get the game so it was marginally playable.
They finally determined that Murder Taxi by Team members was a bad idea and fixed that. Fine.
But the left the horrible OP LLAV as Murder Taxi by Red team members. Not fine.
The fixed some of the very broken physics related to vehicle vs clone ramming, finally.
Now where are we?
Still playing a broken game, but is has Invisi-Scouts with shotguns now. Whee! And jihad Jeeps because there was no other reason to let REs be attached to anything but the ground. Except for blowing up tanks, but to stick them to the Jihad Jeeps was only done because CCP/Shanghai support Murder Taxis so they must exist. As evident by the fact that there has been some form of it every since 1.0 was dropped.
What "This is Dust" means is you are hosed. Too bad. CCP/Shanghai only has one place to look to leadership and those guys releases video about HTFU while laughing when they cash the checks for those that just got ganked. Again (both checks and ganked).
What would you expect to happen when the people that sign their checks has that mind set?
Read my posts, this is a broken game. MMO that isn't. RPG that routinely rips character skill trees apart while not refunding SP or ISK even though the reason for spending either was just negated. FPS that has weapons that do not fire, target or can consistently hit targets. Wow, who would have thought that was a requirement? Not me that is for certain. But it must have been because Dust is still doing it nearly a year later!
Now we get to game play. Which has been fundamentally broken since Uprising 1.0, it just hasn't gotten better because they don't care ... or they don't realize that any FPS that works can fire their weapon and hit a target. Not to mention that the next day one might hope that the ISK/SP/AUR/LP that was spent wasn't hot fixed at UTC 11:00.
Welcome to Dust, somethings will never change. Those that do ... you will regret.
And so it goes.

I blow up tanks, sometimes 3-4 in a match just by placing REs on tanks, glad to see they still stick to things other than the ground. Heck two days ago I blew up a Dropship the same way. Considering your displeasure with the FG not firing all the time would think this use of REs would please you. They are working as intended.
Fanfest is sure to have some interesting changes thrown at us, this game is more about adapting to a changing battlefield than learning one way to do things. Get smart, get S-Mart and really come on, CCP may not care but I would bet money on them wanting success out of a product that they have spent years working on.
I support the RE use. The Jihad Jeep thing is old. A fun toy for a 13 year old twit. Oh! It's CCP, that makes sense.
Why you do believe I don't support them? I don't like getting blown up, either in a hallway or a vehicle, but that is what I am trying to do to the Reds. So I expect them to try something to counter my intent. My preferred method is a Rail Gun*. Although I seriously wonder if the Massive Tanked Invisible-Scout was actually planned or was yet another surprise for CCP/Shanghai.
The Jihad Jeep is merely the latest Murder Taxi from CCP/Shanghai. They have always had them. They finally change the game to fix the worst issue (friendly fire disabled in pub and vehicle damage not longer bypasses it) and every single time there is a Murder Taxi version the day of release. Physics changed so vehicles don't trap players on the front of tanks. Yada yada same old same old. And bingo! New Murder Taxi appears.
Sure CCP would like to have Dust be a success. But I strongly suspect that World Of Darkness had that intent as well. Look how that turned out, ~$20M write off and ... a dead game. It took eight years is my understanding so Dust has a few left.
I am glad you are looking forward to Fan Fest In the wonderful world of New Eden. I have yet to see the last promises delivered, nor have I seen bugs from throughout the releases of Uprising fixed, they have stopped fixing 1.8 bugs so that means everything else is Part Of The Game Now Sucka.
Welcome to Dust, take a deep breath first. It gets kind of deep in here. 
* the freaking Devs removed head shots from Rail Guns in 1.7! There were few things better than vaporizing a mud stomper with 195% effective Rail Gun Round. It was sweet.
And so it goes.
