I think a better solution would be to give REs a nice big old efficiency bonus against installations. Like 500% damage to them.

Well, I'm not to positive about this but, I think if you attack an installation it will stay "aggressive" through the entire match. Even if you hack it or after controlling it.

I like the turrets, they make the game more interesting for a pilot and stop me popping them with 1 round of missiles from a tank... Once again we need to get the randoms to take note of this and actually defend/capture them (the ones in our own half at least!)

Make it so the only way it could shoot at you is with someone on the turret or if you shoot it. I've only had problems with blaster and missile turrets (that I flew past because I'd run out of ammo before getting it to half armor), the railgun turret is kinda like "Whatever dude" which is how they should be, it only engages when shot..

And let's get one thing clear about installations and vehicle users. We didn't destroy the installations for the free 100-120 wp.(Unless it's a no-show pc match) We destroyed them to eliminate possible threats.

Installations
-Turrets Armor and Shields have been increased from 750/3150 to 2000/10000
-All installations now have passive armor repair. Turrets have 5hp/s, Clone Reanimation Units 20hp/s and Supply Depots have 30hp/s
-Missile Launcher Installations range has been reduced from 2000m to 250m to match vehicle mounted Large Missile Launchers
-Turrets will no longer automatically shoot any infantry that move near them.
-Turret detection range against all vehicles has been reduced to 75m
-Turrets can now detect targets in any direction
-All turrets will now lose targets that move out of Line of Sight after 3 seconds
Note: Turrets will still return fire on any target that fires upon them (including infantry)

naw it was for easy points while they were no threat at all, like all tankers did.. in normal matchmakeing atleast

I dunno man, I've seen plenty vehicles die to UN manned installations pre Charlie

Sure it was possible, but back then Installations were just WP Pinatas, and really only worked against vehicles that didn't pay attention or were just stupid about it.

Well Takahiro, no, they are getting used SOMEWHAT... Like we observe, "behavior" in this game is not efficiently taught or modified or corrected in players... they, err... learn by "I saw the other player doin' it a lot last night" .

The "other player" was ME last night. Last night I was doing NOTHING but hacking installations, laying down support over the heads of my blues as they try to advance on a Null, getting stabbed by a red with knives, then using the nearest CRU to run RIGHT BACK to the same installation becasue I KNEW it would still be there and that the red that killed me was now hacking the installation.
Back-n-forth, losing 10 dropsuits in the constant re-hack/use action---but I wanted players to see they were now being SUPPORTED by these installations (even my lowly blaster installation decapitated 8 reds during the match, eliminated a pesky cloak-scout-w-shotgun whe kept harrassing Objective-E... camped-up every red who spawned on the red uplink someone placed on the roof of communications building---Ha-HAAA!! Fish in the Barrel!).

Yes, 75m aggressive range is tiny. To use these installations OFFENSIVIELY you have to man them, and that behavior in your teammates will take a while to sink in. Give it time, Takahiro, you'll see!
