Sounds like a bad idea. Not only will I have to skill into Dropships to be a pilot, I'll have to skill into infantry skills to get the WP to get my vehicle after the first one dies? Oh and then I've got to find 300k-1Million ISK to actually pay for the damn thing.
Also, how is it pretty stupid when theres two dropships and a tank in a game? Wait, the enemy team doesn't have anyone that spec'd into a vehicle? What a damn shame.

And you will be able to use it...if your team plays like a team and earns the WP to use it.

Hell,you can buy prototype dropsuits and weapons,and any thing else without the skills to use to actually use them,so that argument doesn't really hold water.

Not sure about how I feel about the WP idea. Others have mentioned limiting the number of vehicles on the map at any given time... IMO, this is probably the easiest solution. No more than one DS, one HAV, and two LAVs at any given time.
(or some combo like that, whatever is deemed appropriate)

Otherwise, there needs to be ANOTHER rebalancing of AV gear vs vehicles. I've always been a proponent of having vehicles in the game, but they should be support pieces... not game changers.

Exactly!

Why should we give free reign to those that aren't good at what they do?I'm looking to promote the team aspect of what's hopefully to be.Also,this should definitely encourage the use of team chat too.I haven't heard anyone really using it since the corp battles in the last build.

I would like to add in regards to what Jason said about getting warpoints.The warpoints earned would go into a collective team pot that the commander would have control of.You don't have to personally earn warpoints,the whole team has to earn them.

Also,just because you have enough warpoints,that doesn't automatically mean that you are going to get what you want either.Like McBob said,if you suck at piloting and that reputation gets out,no one is going to give you permission to fly,unless you steal someone else's called in dropship.

So what I hope with this proposal is to see more coordination and cooperation within a corp,and if randoms don't learn then they can keep playing without wasting and spamming vehicles.Those randoms that want to step up their game will learn to play with more coordination and be better players for it.

I'm an LAV driver- and I love the idea! Not only does it make sense (why would anyone lend a ton of RDVs for noobs?), but it helps me get recognized as a driver.

I put tons of time, ISK, and SP into getting the most out of my wide selection of LAV fittings, but right now, people can't find me (or people like myself) out of the packs of random blues using starter fit LAVs. Maybe after something like this, I can get a decent gunner.

All I'll tell you is that in the corp battle in the last build,we were fighting against eight,I repeat EIGHT TANKS on the opposing team.Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who won that match.

Terrible idea.

Vehicles are an asset that you train for and pay for, not a bonus you might get to use.

Seems like you just don't understand the concept.You still have the mindset of "what can I do with my vehicle to improve my gameplay",instead of ,"what can I do with my vehicles to help my team win". The idea was to reduce the massive vehicle spamming by making it a privilege,NOT A RIGHT,to use your vehicles in a match.

Either way,I've already conceded that there's a better option that someone else posted that would limit vehicle ammo,requiring you to resupply it.

I'd like to see the free LAV disappear. they need to be cheap but just like the milita swam launcher it needs to have a price tag. Make people choose between calling in a bunch of cheep vehicles or saving up to stalk up on for the gear they have specced into. Heck, give new player 50 free one so they can get comfortable be hind the wheel. If they like them they will buy more!

Whilst the idea isn't a bad one, I'd prefer using a pool of war points then buying vehicles out of that kinda like table top warfare.

So if you have a proto tank it costs a lot of points to deploy it, but a standard one would not.

It would stop the "invincible" tank spam we saw in the other builds and CCP wouldn't have to nerf tanks into oblivion like everyone keeps insisting on, because the team only has limited amount of points. Sure you could have some ridiculous OP tank, but only one and that's it. If an entire team can't take out this vehicle solo, then there's something wrong with their setups imo. In my eyes, the issue has always been the quantity.

That to me is far more balanced than the system we have now of "First come first served".

Well,if what has been said it true,and there is a cap on the amount of vehicles in each match,then what's the difference?

So hypothetically,you can get into a number of matches,and never be able to call in a vehicle,so in that case,it's almost the same thing.
