I say don't do this. What if you get killed while waiting for the drop. The only person there to save your ride is a team mate. Instead a red dot kills him to and jacks your ride. This will not be an issue once the game releases. Be patient guys, make sure you call it in around a safe location. Don't get out of the driver seat if you don't wanna lose it.

Just have it locked to the person who spawned it with the option for others to hack it (like the enemy can do now). If a buddy wants to take it he can after hacking which would give the original spawner the time to jump in and drive off if he did not want anyone else drivng. If original spawner jumps in then is could unlock so that all squad mates or team mates can jump is as gunner or shot gun seat.

I seem to remember CCP saying that in pub matches people probably won't whip out the "big guns" because of the haphazard and random nature of a pub match and the player would be at more of a risk of loosing their pricy gear. I guess CCP was wrong a bit, people will still pull out the expensive stuff and lose it but feel better because they can rant about their poor choice in a relatively non important match on the forums. I would think that 1.000.000,00 isk tanks should be left in corp matches where they will have to worry about other 1.000.000,00 isk tanks, not some random pubbie stealing your kitten hot tank in a match where a 1.000.000,00 isk tank is up against some guy in a scout suit starring at the sky trying to figure out which way to run.
