Some people spend massive SP in training HAV and are nearly invincible on the battlefield. If i can manage to enter or maybe hack such a tank i can freely drive around without having to be trained to drive an HAV.
Is that correct or have i missunderstood some game mechanics?
I can not fit turrets that i am not skilled for, but i can shoot with them on battlefields if i am hitching a ride? |

There's been a few times this subject has come up, and basically people with any sense of balance or meaning are BEGGING for them to require the ability to 1) drive it to climb in the driver's seat, 2) fit the modules or have any they don't have the skill to use automatically offlined. Exactly like it is in EVE. No skills needed to sit in a gunner seat, though, as that'd just be silly.
Basically, they should go check out how PlanetSide handled it. They had an excellent control and locking mechanism (i.e. only you can drive, only your squad can gun, etc. and you could set each from a drop-down), and IIRC you needed the skills to use it in order to climb in after hacking it (but it's been a while, it may have changed or I could be remembering that wrong.) As I remember it, though, you had to have the appropriate skills in order to use gear, even if you stole it fair and square. |

Thanks for the answer. I was just wondering.
I would like to see that you can't drive the HAV you are not skilled for, but can shoot any fitted turret. That would maybe also fix the requested vehicle ownership control (Because most gunners wouldn't be able to drive it.):

You could drive it, but you couldn't use the turret (goddammit there's no "N" in "turret!" "turrent" is not a word in the english language, nor has it ever been that Google can find for me quickly). You don't have the skills needed to operate it.
That said, this ties in with the RDV extraction I've suggested in threads about summoning our assets back (so that once you call that expensive tank, you aren't sitting useless in it the rest of the match just so you don't lose the isk investment, you could summon an RDV to pick it up and return it to your assets, keeping it safe and letting you move to what you're needed to do, while still providing the risk that the RDV or tank is destroyed, so it's not just a free "save your stuff" ability). You'd be able to steal the tank, and then summon an RDV to return it to assets. You could then either keep it and skill up to use it properly, or you could sell it. It's always fun to sell people their own stuff back to them after you blow them up in EVE :) |

So i can drive, but not operate the main turret, right? What about the secondary turrets? |
