So instead of a CRU you want a VRU?

I feel that it works well as an alternate option rather than a replacement.

step 1 place proximity mines at front of platform
step 2 place removes at back of platform
step 3 blow up any poor soul that spawn s on it

repeat

sounds like planet side 2 on the PS4

Depends on where they're positioned. None will be used in the map due to being a big ass target (unless that entire part of the map is locked down), and if there's only one in the base, calling in **** for multiple pilots per match would take forever, kinda like people having to wait for other people to be spawned in before they get spawned in.

Also, if this is a replacement idea, then it presents the problem of there not being a effective way to send things away as you described it, unless it's a two way thing. If so, this could be even better, allowing for a quick way to get rid of fits, especially if near the base. Hell, even fit switching would be faster.

Regardless, I think RDV's should stay in, especially if maps ever get larger (eventually Dust will move to a X86 platform...... at least I hope it does)

It would probably have to be modeled to reflect this, and seeing how big vehicles are and might get in the future, would have to be quite big, and therefore deployment areas for maps that have them might have to grow, or simply not have them.

The problem will still exist if they are separate or not (it might be even a slightly bigger issue with them separate).

I think this would be great to add but RDV should stay in the game.

Works great in MOG**.

Note it does seriously limit where you can access a vehicle. Dropping on roof tops for instance. Also the Reds will be setting up mines, AV squads and PRO HAV will be waiting for suckers at the exit. So, it might not be that great in Dust. In MOG the maps are massive, tiny Dust514 maps mean there will be little option for escape.

What would work nearly as well is allowing the driver/pilot to place a target on the ground and have the vehicle materialize (pointed in the proper direction!). It would eliminate the massive amount of work to plot navigation maps in UE3. And it would look cool, like Star Trek transporters. This would be the best of both worlds, getting rid of the drunken RDV* pilots and simplifying the vehicle deployment mechanism.


* I suspect that the entire hype train associated with the entry trailer is the entire reason for the RDV existence, much less their continued existence. Somebody higher up really, really liked them. So we are still stuck with their massive load on the system and their junk performance.
