Is there ANY possible way ccp could make it so only people from my squad can drive another squad mates vehicle so other players on you're team can't just steal your vehicles?? It costs people money to get them and it's rather unfair for some moron to just run up and steal what he didn't earn.

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.

You have a valid point Ted, however in the event you die a teammate could take said ride but I'm sick of people stealing what I spent over a million isk to earn only to have some idiot take what they didn't earn so something needs to be done, otherwise I might as well have a large neon sign on MY stuff that says "FREE" on it. Personally, id rather an enemy take it via killing me.... Atleast he earned it then rather than just taking it.....

I would introduce these features:
1. Seperate the driver from the main turret.

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.

on the flip side do we keep vehicles we hack?

Lmao! Good point man, I don't dare waste today kinda money in a random. I suppose it may seem trivial to a player with a billion + isk to throw at a tank for me to be worried about my million dollar investment but my point is based on if I drive my vehicle and get blown up that's on me but when I have a defense order on it and some jerk comes and just jumps in & takes off on what's not his that's kinda messed up. Mind you this happens on the Jeeps, tanks aren't an issue in getting stolen for me it's the other vehicles that irritate me wh.en people steal them.

New Eden is a harsh world with little pity or remorse.
If you are going into battle do so with those you can trust.
If you must fight alongside those who are unknown to you then do not deploy in or with expensive gear be that vehicle, dropsuit or fitting.
If you do deploy with expensive gear among unknown combatants follow Rule #1

Rule #1 in New Eden: Never use what you can't afford to lose!

In New Eden that is EVE, you have the ability to take back what is yours through negotiation or force. If we had the ability to shoot blues in Dust, your point would be well taken.

The lesson learned is definitely not drop an expensive ship around other players as the game is now. The rub is that at least in a dropship, timing is important when a map spawns and your pilot is trying to get troops to objectives quickly (while most of them have just spawned in to the map in one spot). If I have to worry about my dropship getting scooped by a blue, then I too can say New Eden is harsh and you guys can walk.

im not 100% sure on this. but i called in a tank and was killed before i got in, a teammate drove off in it and im certain the tank survied the match. when i got back in my MQ i had a tank in stock. The uncertainty comes from me not knowing if i had a 2nd tank waiting. its not something i do usually. keeping hacked lavs and havs would be sweet. maybe stripping all the parts and mods for salvage would be a better thing. otherwise this would turn into Grand theft auto.
