Well, the other game I am most familiar with is Planetside 2.
And an amazing percentage of 'must haves' or 'changes to (random feature)' is how that game plays.
Not that I expect or even really want Dust to become PS2. It is just often funny to read the posts and roll my eyes. Yep, great idea. I play a game that already does that.
Somehow I doubt if they really want to know that detail.
Good Luck out there.
My favorite tank is a Lightning. Just sayin.

Vehicle lock would fix so many little irritations in Dust. Sadly, it will never happen, much like anything else benefiting a tanker. I always run a (mostly useless) squad just to allow myself time to get in my tank uninterrupted. Although keeping blues out while I roll up to speed is a very good side effect. On the rare events that one of my old friends shows up having working comms is a relief. Now, if I could just some of them to actually talk about the battle instead of everything besides that. 
Comms for PS2/PC work fine. I have to commit to getting my PC's mic going. W* is such a blasted pain. Unplug the mic and suddenly my HDMI has a mic? Seriously, who bought that? Cause I didn't and lookie, there is the USB mic that you cannot find. Argh!
My PC experience is really good, so I hope that translates to the PS4. We will see how it turns out. My old corp is all Sony based and they look like they are getting into PS2/PS4. Once the release hits we'll see what we see. I don't have a PS4 as yet, and it can wait until my old corp makes their decision.

Hell, they should let me recall your HAV into my assets after you jumped out for some ******** reason.
Ah, excuse me? SMcB how do you figure that? Check the QQing on the other dust forums and vehicle abuse is a hot topic.
Vehicle lock in PS2 works alright, but vehicles have zero cost. You want a tank, go get one. The faction specific tanks are only available in larger facilities. And it is possible to unlock the vehicle, I think so anyway.
I always wondered why you couldn't keep a vehicle if you hacked it but I finally puzzled out an answer:
If BPOs are required to fit the unit then the inventory system would have to
A: accept that the new owner/thief/recuser can access that same BPO
B: delete the unique (or BPO) fittings when you exited battle thus rendering the fitting unusable.
C: just not allow acquisition of the vehicle, although if it isn't lost - the owner doesn't lose the vehicle as it wasn't destroyed.
They chose C. Not a bad decision overall. Much less programming involved. You know my opinion of their programming abilities.
Considering the vast number of reasons for leaving battle in Dust many of them outside of the player's control (dc'd, fatal crash, PS3 reset), claiming another's vehicle seems like backing over them as road kill, but that's just me. If a friend/squad mate disconnects I recall my vehicle and get into their prize. Hopefully I can keep it alive until the end of the match.

Good point, it isn't like they don't have the hacking vehicle mini-game in place. I wondered why they didn't implement something. Even if they prevent keeping the vehicle (which I understand the reasoning, at least the made up reason I came up with) but I would enjoy the game much more if I could lock the tank to my squad and eject anyone that isn't in squad. Then they could hack my blue tank if I leave it alone.
This character has high hacking skills. Unless I am the onlyone there I hack nothing from a vehicle. Even less likely if a Blue Belle has jumped into my tank.
