What is with all passenger seats without mounted weapons not allowing fire from the vehicle? I don't know about you but I hate being a defenseless bystander while riding in an unmounted LAV or Dropship passenger seat. The dropship is even worse though as you can't even see what's going on outside the dropship. Anyway, I think you should have the option to fire your fitted weapons, at least sidearms, while riding in those passenger seats. Of course, weapons that allow you to stand like the HMG and forge cannot be fired from seat in LAV. |

You should at least be able to fire a sidearm, and they really need to improve the whole, dropship passenger thing. It's just very disorienting, and just feels really unnatural if you ask me. |

Side arm or sniper rifle firing from the passenger seat would be good. Esp in a drop ship as the ship circles you should be able to take pot shots at people |

Yeah imagine a dropship full of proto swarms raining down on a Sagaris or Surya ! That would solve the HAV problem which is only going to get worse. |

Sidearm i could see. Hell, in GTA you could drive the vehicles AND fire your handgun out the window at the same time. Regular people do it in Los Angeles all the time. A passenger in Dust could at least fire their sidearm.
But, a sniper rifle?
really?
In no way, shape or form should anyone be allowed to fire a sniper rifle from a moving vehicle. In the real world, that's not remotely logical.

Indeed the way dropships work for passengers is a bit fudged right now I think also, I understand not having a gun, theres 2 gunners already and a drop ship is that, a dropship.. so passengers are there for the ride until they drop... But the view for the passengers is so fkrd up I really never know where I'm dropping out of one at lol |

Hate to burst your bubble there System... But snipers are deployed from all kinds of locations in the real world, even moving vehicles |

Dropships are for transportation and providing support to the troops after they've been dropped off. Combat aircraft are coming later. |

True snipers are deployed from all kinds of locations, but really now?? Moving vehicles.. sure it happens, but under certain rare circumstances that require that to complete the objective. Thats different then running circles around a map in a vehicle with a sniper rifle :p |

Hmmm...
I've been thinking about this since I first posted and I think this would be the best solution.
1. Sidearm fire is available from all unmounted passenger slots. The range of sidearms should balance this out.
*Optional: Firing makes you reveal yourself where you have decent open range to fire but also makes you more open to take incoming enemy fire.
2. Provide vehicle modules to allow primary weapon fire from all unmounted passenger slots. This would most likely require a change to the vehicle configuration such as the LAV passenger door being removed or the dropship blast door being removed.
*Optional (1): Players in unmounted passenger slots are more open to incoming fire (such as described in changed vehice configuration above).
*Optional (2): Misdirected fire coming from vehicle passengers that hits the riding vehicle causes damage.
- For example, you could fire a Forge cannon from a dropship but if something occurs where that shot hits within the cabin, that shot causes damage. That way this would be a benefit but there would be risk to that benefit. |

The worst thing about the current implementation is....
4 man squads
3 useful seats on a dropship
So last man in spend the entire trip scratching his kittens unable to do anything if he wants to stay with his squad

Firing of weapons should only be allowed if riding on a robot horse. |
