This would completely break the DUST lore/background. You're clone is inside the CRU, when you die your consciousness gets fed into it and you wake up, it doesn't get dropped in, except maybe the very first spawn (I think) when combatants and gear gets hotdropped into battle. So maybe for the initial spawn, after this no.

Plus, it gives snipers and stuff a chance to take you out before you can climb into your tank. If you can just get dropped into battle in a tank, why would you use anything else?

Explain the mobile spawn items you can carry around then Roll

I know exactly how the lore works ive played eve for the past 6 years. I also know that theres these things called ships in orbit and there obvioulsy someone flying and launching your vehicles in the giant transports id but 1000 isk theres a place in there you can clone from. So that would be keeping with "The Lore" as you say. As stated before there would only be certain areas on the battlefield you could do this as stated rear areas or designated vehicles zones.

However why are we not able to launch into certain spawn points IN vehicles. I can think of serveral points in skirmish where this would work. For the attackers the field base to the rear would be good as well as the alternate spawn point after A and B are first taken. For the Defenders its a little more difficult but the southern most spawn point where the north of the facility would be good. This could also allow people to load into vehicles prior to dropping. Would be nice to have your squad pre loaded and ready to go inside that dropship instead of having to spawn your self spawn the vehicle then pile inside.... Why cant we drop on grid all loaded up and ready to go. So put your thoughts your +1s what ever give some nice feedback!!!!

War barge have CRU and all vehicles in their hangars - someone could pack a clone to vehicles and send it to surface. When the vehicle lands, clone somewhere on battlefield could be deactivated and clone in vehicle could be activated.

However is allows players to drop fully manned vehicles/dropships at your main points in the back of the fight I would call these secured drop points so your still going to have to travel to the front lines. Useally these places are out of the way from snipers anyways and located in the red zones where players of the oppisite team cannot go. For our current map sizes this may not be relevent but as maps become larger I would like to see something like this implemened. Would also help those out who are constantly having there vehicles jacked by other teamates. Has not happened to me but ive seen some forum posts about it. This would also provide that Prototype fit maruader pilot a little more security dropping with his vehicle in the rear of the fight.
