I would suggest indirect interaction with the RDVs in order to enrich the gameplay.
Some suggestions:
1. RDVs cannot be infinite. If you manage to take all of them down, you should be able to deny the enemy from vehicle game and tactics. Number of RDVs should be dependent to current player numbers (so about 5 RDVs per team with current match sizes). Eventually, modules and skills on the MCCs will dictate how many you can have on-board.
As such:
Skill: RDV deployment. Can deploy 1 additional RDV per skill level. Prerequisites: TBA*.
Skill: RDV proficiency. 5% additional RDV shields and armor per skill level. Prerequisites: RDV deployment lvl 3, TBA*.
2. While in a vehicle and having the correct skills you should be able to utilize your team's RDVs to relocate your vehicles (faster than just driving there). A menu will allow for:
a. Request for relocation. This would pop up a map (like precision strike) where you select intended destination. The RDV picks you up and drops you at requested destination. You have to stay in vehicle during flight (but up for discussion). You cannot shoot while in flight. The RDV is not cloaked during relocation due to near-ground flight.
b. Request to withdraw vehicle. Selecting this option would summon an RDV to pick your vehicle up and park it back in the MCC. Your vehicle has to be immobile for pickup, otherwise RDV aborts (timer of 5-10 seconds). If you stay in the vehicle you will end up in the MCC spawn area as soon as vehicle is parked.
Of course, as RDVs would be limited, you being in transit denies your team of spawning vehicles during that time (assuming all of them are occupied with a task).
* TBA: To be added. I am not sure whether the MCC pilots will reside in EVE or DUST as such cannot state prerequisites yet. |

Its called Bolas and why should they be limited. They are a vehicle like a tank and have to be produced on the Battlefield aswell. |

Oh, the name of the current RDV. Might be better to just say RDV since I think there will be different RDVs with different names coming, I saw Gallente looking RDVs in trailers, and they will undoubtedly have different names just like the Caldari and Gallente MCCs have different names (Cestus, and Charon I think).
More functionality for RDVs would be great, though the way you are proposing it requires MCC customization, which I'm not sure we're getting. |

I believe RDVs will be another asset in the future, but for sake of pub matches right now, I think they should be infinte. |

Fixed name, sorry for that. Them being limited means you have to purchase (restock) more of them (plus to economy) and opens up different tactics.
Example: When you see your enemy is too vehicle dependent (e.g. spawning tanks one after the other), deny them the vehicles by destroying their limited RDVs and force them to change tactics or lose. |

Pretty sure they're called RDVs, as in Rapid Deploy Vehicle.
You know, when the lady says "RDV request accepted"
Don't know where you got "Bolo"
Either way I like the idea, especially about picking up a vehicle, although I wish dropships had a tether for this kind of thing, and would be able to communicate with people on the ground who needed a relocation. RDVs shouldn't be able to relocate, but pickups would make sense. Tanks are expensive, and sometimes people would rather retreat with them than have it destroyed.
Maybe skills that would decrease the time it takes for RDV deployment, or longer cloaking time. |

But if you shoot down one RDV another one gets built somewhere and replaces it.
Have a look at this thread https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=44616&find=unread
The normal RDV could be a BPO and be fitted by EVE players. There could be other RDVs we can fly which have to be purchased by us. |

I like how your thread showed up about 10 minutes earlier, but this thread got all the attention. |

MCC's will be corp owned, and will be the biggest vehicles in the game, and will cost 120,000,000 isk |
