It would be nice for vehicles to have a purpose in Legion beyond just slaying infantry and other vehicles. Destroying other vehicles is a good purpose provided that those vehicles you destroy had a purpose for being on the battlefield in the first place. I am going to list my ideas. Please add your own ideas to this thread.
Vehicles tasks:
- Carrying Salvage.
- Destroying gates and armoured doors.
- Portable (destructible) Null Cannons
Carrying Salvage:
I propose that there should be a realistic limit on how much salvage we can carry ourselves using our dropsuits. In order to collect a lot of salvage in the Salvage grounds we should have to box up our salvage and place it in a vehicle for transport. (Boxing it would allow it to survive if the vehicle is blown up.) This gives vehicles the task of carrying salvage, and also gives anti vehicle vehicles a purpose for destroying salvage barring vehicles in order to steal the salvage.
Destroying gates and armoured doors:
I would love to see destructible buildings, but that is quite a big ticket item from a development perspective. However, I think it would be much more reasonable to star small and create destructible doors.* These would come in 4 sizes.
- Office door. (HP of a Sentinel)
- Armoured Door. (HP of a LAV)
- Garage Door. (Larger. HP of a LAV)
- Armoured Gate. (Wide enough to block streets. HP of a HAV)
A defender/attacker scenario can be created by giving defenders control of the doors at the beginning of the match. Using a HAV would be a quick way for attackers to quickly gain access to compounds. Remote Explosives and AV could be used too. Hacking should be an option too, but the Armoured Doors should take a long time to Hack.
* They could get away with just creating one distructable modle for each door size, and just changing the colour to match the archetecural style of the racial socket they are placed in.
Portable (destructible) Null Cannons:
I am thinking in a Planetary Conquest scenario where the attackers bring in Portable Null Cannons (PNC) to take out the shields on the District Command Centre (DCC). I envision PNCGÇÖs as being very large, slow, trucks with Null Cannons on them. Have the Health very high, but with no anti Infantry or anti Vehicle capability so they would have to be protected. Have a terminal on the side so they can be hacked as well.
District attackers would deploy PNCGÇÖs to help take the district. The Defenders would deploy vehicles with large and small turrets to try to take them out. The Attackers would deploy vehicles to fend off the defenderGÇÖs vehicles.
District Defenders might deploy PNCGÇÖs to take out the attacking MCC, but this would be a risk as they could be hacked ant turned against the DCC.
Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.
