Just to play the Devils advocate 
If you had super secure vehicle locks, what would be the difference between the future S(olo)HAV and HAVs with "fixed" turrets?

Well I pilot an ADS quite a bit, however I always get out to hack outside points and lay links, I've even flown somewhere someone was killed to pick em up with an injector... I feel bad staying in my ship all game, not being as effective, just to keep it from getting stolen while I do the most I can to win.

I have no issue with people spawning in my DS, I fly around in a super tanked DS and actually prefer the spawns. It helps me get BBs and squadmates to where the point of conflict is. The issue is when people just sit there expecting a gun to open up. Once again the scroll wheel to eject would be nice, however it needs to only work inside the redline. It also needs to remove any lateral momentum as I see this as a way for people to TK, by launching BBs

It's pretty clear there are reasons to exit a vehicle. Rattati we answered your question respectfully.
Will you consider allowing us authority of some sort over our assets. The alternative is a callous self serving style that discourages team work all together.

A tanker being able to switch to a small turret is a viable tactic for tankers. They can't do it because an idiot blue will hijack it.
I can't call in a LAV, head to point and hack it without a blue dot hoping in it and zoom zoom zooming it into oblivion.
I can't use my small turret on my LAV, unless I want to drive to BFE Mordor and fire it.
I can't hop out of my dropship lay a link down, take a second to check the map for enemy forces, because the second I come out of the map screen, a blue dot has spawned and flew off with my ship.
A squad, or a team lock scheme should be added.
Playing solo and don't care? Leave it on team.
Playing solo and you do mind? Set it to squad.
Playing with a good squad? Squad.
Playing with a good team? Team.
Then we can pitch the stupid timers.

Yeah, the entire purpose of an LAV was what, rapid transportation on frontline support.
Due to blasters being terrible you can't really support the frontline coupled with the fact that the turret makes you stick out like a sore thumb makes it ever worse for gunners trying to provide "frontline support"
Rapid transportation for a squad turns out to be a one trip flight because once your squad gets to the objective you guys hop out to secure the area right quick freakin huckleberry finn sees an LAV and wants to steal it.
I'm not putting an Ion Blaster on a STD LAV with Complex and enhanced modules just for some scrub to ram into a friendly tank with it.

Heres a common some "leave your vehicle" common situaitons:
- Recalling one kind of vehicle to call in another, see every blueberry in range sprint to try to steal your tank before you recall.
- Dropping an uplink (tankers/dropships/lav)
- Killing a roof top uplink (if you are in any dropship with ou a missile nose turret)
- Hacking a point (mostly LAV)
As to why the blues dont call in vehicles, well, i wonder why the blues dont do much of anything. Generally they would much rather steal a friendly tank, which is why we have the lockout timer. It used to be a race to see who could jump in first while the vehicle was being called in.

In many instances people enjoy griefing other players. Vehicle theft has been a constant problem and I have been in squad with people who have activly tried to steal other people vehicles and they get off on that junk. Even when I have called them out for being a jerk they only laugh harder, and if the vehicle owner sends them mail to ***** at them, well that's the best thing ever to them. I only hope we get a way to prevent this. Squad only vehicles would be ideal, not in a squad? Then your stuff is fair game. It will encourage squading up. Maybe.

First of all waiting on the ground for a squad mate is terrible and at times can even get you destroyed. When in a dropship not leaving immediately makes it a high risk that you will get hit by an incoming RDV in the vehicle rush at the start of a match. This is horrible for team building specifically among a squad.
As far as leaving your vehicle goes sometimes it is required.
When you are in a LAV you are extremely vulnerable and you have the decision to either run away or get out and fight.
When in a tank if you do not have a gunner there is no counter to scouts with REs other than getting out and killing them. Large blasters and their dispersion combined a scouts speed mean that he could dance in front of most tankers all day and not die. I have even danced off with blaster tanks in a heavy suit and had no problem living to tell the story.
Most dropships are simply used to deliver uplinks to high ground. When you also have a mCRU on your ship this becomes a significant issue as some blues spawn in and never leave the ship.
Vehicle driver seats should be locked to ONLY your squad and your squad should have no entry timer. As far as the blueberry entry timer it can stay where it is.

-Swings his arm around in circular fashion and then THROWS RATTATI A CURVE BALL!!!- I'd love to be able to use a Proto Small Blaster on an LAV knowing that it will be safely and firmly parked where I placed it as a mobile turret instead of being driven off by some idiot who has no concept of boundaries.
Also, when you get dpwn from your dropship just to place an uplink/nanohibe/equipment and some stupid bluberry steals your vehicle. I've been saying this TWO YEARS AGO  |

You cant drive/manage modules while in your small turrets, so in a tank vs tank fight betweent two solo tankers,, the one who sits still trying to use small turrets is going to get wrecked.
One of the prime reasons there is going to be a SHAV and a HAV wih prefit turrets is that Rattati and the CPM believe that blueberries have a right to use our turrets. I'm just glad we are getting a comprimise at all.

I think vehicles should just be locked to squad. No timers on squad vehicles except the initial rdv drop. Now blueberries should be locked out completely, unless your vehicles been left w no one in it for 1 minute then its all theirs. That timer should reset everytime you hop in and out of your vehicle. So a minute to drop your links kill a red, plenty of time to not worry about your ride getting stolen . I've got a maxed Ads account, I know a little about vehicles.

If they add vehicles locks how am I supposed to get an idiot blueberries vehicle destroyed? You know it works 2 ways.
I can have my proto suit only for some idiot blueberry in a vehicle come and run into me or block me and get me killed.
I hate vehicles so ANY chance I get to destroy friendly or enemy vehicles I will especially if it is a sentinel in a LAV.
I don't want blueberries following me in game because I play a scout. I can not stop them. I can not stop them from using my nanohive I droped to refill MY ammo. I can not stop them from using my dropped uplinks for my sniper location. I can not get them not to shot at the enemy I am sneaking up on. I can not get them to not stand by me when cloaked hiding from enemy causing me to get killed when enemy misses shooting at them.
Seems to be something wrong with the game because in pubs a lot of people play like noobs or just not playing like they are organized. I wonder if it is because it is the PUBLIC matches? You want organized with no idiot blueberries then play PC. You want idiot blueberries then play PUB. You want a little of both then you have FW.
I want no proto stomps in pubs but guess what that is not going to happen either. |

I agree, DRIVER SEAT should be locked and only accesible for the possessor of the vehicle, pilots should not call more than 1 vehicle at time.
I have never lent some dropsuit i've fitted to my team, neither i feel there is a need for it, vehicle should behave in the same way.

Because sometimes you have to get ot of your tank with an HMG when your ion cannon cannot for it's like kill a militia starter fit. Maybe if vehicles were actually good, we wouldn't have to get out of the tank to kill infantry. Also, when hacking points while you park your LAV or you get out to drop an uplink on a roof. That's absolutely filthy. If you do that..... just plain disgusting sir.
Well, you gotta do what you do to save your expensive ass tank from a Strafing mofo Commando. This game isn't about morality.
