DUST Search - Vehicle Deployment "Cap" Per Game

Ya'll need to quit suggesting "WP for Vehicles" because it's unbalanced as ****.

You want that system? Right, heres how we'll do it.
When we start a game, you will only have access to a Militia Dropsuit (That means no BPOs you've got, no other suits, just Militia Assault) and a Militia Assault Rifle

Then, when you get 200 WP you can get a new weapon to use, but only the first group of weapons, so a slightly better assault rifle, or a shotgun, you'll also be able to use your BPO weapons, but only once. Once you make that choice you can't do anything else til you get more WP. At 500 WP a player can call a vehicle in. YAY

Doesn't seem so good when it applies to all assets, right? A Vehicle is an Asset the same as a Dropsuit or a Weapon, you start putting in bogus restrictions and you're going to effectively kill off a portion of the playerbase. Most Vehicle Pilots will put their SP into their vehicle skills, that means no SP for Infantry skills, which means a vehicle user will rarely get to use the vehicle he's specced up for.

WUT ANG Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 2	Posted - 2012.11.12 23:52:00 - [3] - Quote that cap must be unlimited then cause 5 drop ships is too much
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 1849	Posted - 2012.11.12 23:55:00 - [4] - Quote The cap is on the maximum number of vehicles a team can have on the field at once. And that limit is 5. Limiting beyond that is silly. ISK is the restriction beyond that point. If you're fighting a contract worth 5 million ISK, and you lose a 2 million ISK Sagaris, you're not going to call in another one, are you?

I think it works like that now to be honest. You can't call in 7 tanks, but I have been able to call in 7 lavs.

Even though you've killed me many times (I try to keep track of high profile sniper names who kill me, iirc you've killed me 14 times and I've only got you 4 times [Gem Cutter has you beat by 3]), I like a lot of your ideas, and this is definitely one of them. If they don't do something about the insane missile damage issue, then they will have to limit vehicle spamming in order to maintain balance. Another idea I've heard passed around is to make calling in vehicles require you to earn a certain number of points first, like precision strikes. For example: every say 150 WP your squad makes collectively, one LAV can be called in. For every 500 or so a tank. 700ish for a dropship.
WUT ANG Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 2	Posted - 2012.11.13 01:05:00 - [8] - Quote Now thats a good idea earn your deployment but those points should be higher. 150 points is only 3 kills

Of course, I also don't think vehicle deployment should be restricted that way. It's too much of a "killstreak" system, imo.

Why should I have to engage proto infantry with militia gear before pulling out a tank? You would have to make them much sturdier to justify such a mechanic.

Thats what I run most of the time for lols......starter and militia suits/mods/weapons. Oh look I can use a better and more expensive option. Why bother when with the militia stuff I do ok??

But when it comes to the real stuff and corporation vs. corporation battles, that would be BULL if they have ANY sort of a cap. Its survival of the fittest, sorry...
Overlord Zero Doomheim 75	Posted - 2012.11.13 02:48:00 - [15] - Quote It's hardly a killstreak system if it's based on your entire squads points and only allows your squad one vehicle per WP amount, not each individual a vehicle per WP amount. Also, you silly people keep forgetting there are WAY more ways to get points than just killing. Easily shows that you've never been a Logibro. This system would make squads work together to keep their vehicles alive and to not leave anyone behind since if they loose it they have to earn the points all over again. Also, those points were just for an example, I have no idea what they should be set at. As for your QQ about protosuits beating you up when gaining WP, HTFU and get some gun game Edit: Also, for the remark up there QQ about pilots not getting to use vehicles, they had to get that SP somehow to get the vehicles in the first place, they can get back to it. Their squad benifits from those high powered vehicles, so the squad can earn the WP needed for the pilot while the pilot backs them up and the pilot can take over from there with the squad backing him up as per usual.

It's something CCP talked about months ago. And you get WP for more than just kills. It also forces people to choose between which vehicle to call in, and also whether they want a vehicle or an orbital strike. Ideally they could throw in other support abilities tied to WP as well, stuff like calling down installations like turrets or supply depots, or having orbital scans or something. Anyway, it's the way they said they were going to go with it at one point. SuperMido wrote: Maybe, and only maybe they can do that in the match-making style games.

No need to apologize, because you're totally wrong. Unless you actually believe corp wars involving nothing but 16 tanks vs. 16 tanks sounds like fun to you, a cap will be necessary to keep the matches varied and interesting. Having a cap for vehicles, and especially if they require WP for vehicle call-ins, actually makes fights more strategic. Having to make tough decisions on what vehicles to call down will be something that makes matches more interesting and fun. Despite what you might think, having corp wars where every battle is the exact same thing as every other battle would get pretty old after a while.

I am willing to speculate, that at the time they were tossing around that idea, it was as an alternative to spending SP on them. Then they realized that would be stupid (dropships easier to use than assault suits what?) and now we have a system where people can play how they wish. Ask them to balance the game, not artificially cap things you think are overpowered.

fred orpaul Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 211	Posted - 2012.11.13 05:07:00 - [19] - Quote a per squad cap is not a bad idea just so youre squad is not screwed out of rolling a vehicle by a bunch of time wasting blue berries. but at the same time it also limits what youre squad can do meh i dunno. Id rather a dynamic cap that prevents spamining of vehicles. you know roll what you want but the more you lose the less you can call in at a time. or maybe its limited by the bolas's the more that get shot down the slower you can spawn em ohhh I like that one. you start out with a limited number of boli which dictates the frequency you can spawn vehicles in and the more destroyed the slower you can spawn vehicles. this also allows for a much more immersive game play as straight vehicle caps are counter intuitive. you dont pay for bolass so your employer will only pay for so many.
Reimus Klinsman BetaMax. 319	Posted - 2012.11.13 05:10:00 - [20] - Quote No, there shouldn't be a limit. WHY would any military force limit their vehicles. If your enemy deploys 16 tanks.. Deploy 16 Forge gunners or swarms.. Really, if a vehicle is give you a problem, you don't have enough AV on the field. ALSO non-AV people, back up your AV. Its pretty ******** that when I and a few others slip into a forge gun, we get gunned down by a single dude in a militia fit.

And as far as QQ about too many dropships, eventually we will have better weapon balance that can take them down more easily -- so in time that won't be a problem.
Minmatar Slave 74136 Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 291	Posted - 2012.11.13 11:43:00 - [24] - Quote One idea is to limit the number of RDV available to deploy vehicles with. It kinda works like this. Lets say your team has, oh, a half-dozen or so RDVs to start with, just to throw out a random number for argument's sake - i'd make the number higher, myself. the enemy team's ace tanker delivers a railgun shot that blows one RDV out of the sky, now your team has five. Next, an RDV gets shot down by a group of swarm users, and now your team only has four left. As you lose RDVs you lose capacity to deploy multiple vehicles simultaneously on the battlefield, and if you lose them all then the vehicle faucet just dried up. its a rough idea, and not one i'd recommend for pubs since the randoms could just run your team out of RDVs really quickly, but on a corp or faction warfare match it would make the decision to deploy tanks, and where to deploy tanks, important since you do not want to lose too much of your RDV lift capability. Also, why not use an item that deploys a drop uplink beacon for larger vehicle wormholes, tie that to a black ops LAV or another vehicle like an LAV - creating a ground vehicle equivalent of an EVE ship that deploy a Cynosural Field (Cyno Fields can allow whole fleets to jump into a system in EVE at the places where it is deployed.) Just random thoughts. it's late and i've been at work all night.

Was one of the funniest matches I've ever had. As for Sleepy's suggestion, I've been trying to get the devs to listen to that for builds now. It would've completely solved the issue with tank spam and cries of "OP" last build. The only issue is it denies people calling in things they've specifically specced into, so it does have it's flaws.
