Yes I know the knock on this is it will make things a little less realistic, but one thing these fools that call in an LAV and spend the entire map trying to run over players to get their kills has shown us, is the distinct possibility of the game diminishing to a futuristic demolition derby.
The fix is simple, players have to get shot with a weapon, 'nade, or knifed (aside from the suicides). They could no longer simply die from the drunk driver who is still sore he got his license revoked by the local fashion police.
I could name a number of so-called 'top' players, but I'm a little above that. The bottom line is no one wants to spawn in a suit they are expending a lot of ISK to kill the bad guy, just for Mary Jane Crotchrot to come along driving Miss Daisy and you become worm food because the LAV doesnt show up on your map, you are in a gunfight, and all of a sudden you become a technician at Discount Tire, offering free rotation and balancing for the scrub that should be mowing your lawn and not behind the wheel.
Ok rant over, but seriously this is something that needs to be considered. |

Reasoning: Ever hit a deer on the road with your truck? It will completely decimate your front end and fly up into the windshield. Now remember that even the lightest suit, Scout, is several hundred pounds of mechanized metal built to withstand at least a few rounds of superheated plasma fire. Assaults weigh a ton and Heavys weigh multiple tons.
A LAV should take light damage when it runs down a Scout. Moderate damage when it runs down an Assault / Logi. And extreme damage when it runs down a Heavy.
That's realistic and doesn't remove "Road Kills" but does balance them.
I could be on board with that, it just gets annoying that it has become popular to call in a BPO vehicle and just cruise around the map the entire match, at ZERO cost to the driver. Probably the biggest thing that gets me is this has no place in a war game...
Cant recall ever reading books and watching movies on wars of the past or even present and hearing about this squad of drivers rolling their HumVees through the countryside running people over as any form of tactic, yet we see it quite often here...

I forget where I seen it but on another thread someone mentioned a speeder bike like vehicle or something as free transportation vehicles and charging ISK for LAV and up.
Speeder bike vs Clone = both die when they come into contact.
also a good idea! I see there has been some thought on this. Just some sort of change is all I'm asking, charging for LAVs would in some way help to substantiate and i know I wouldn't be as perturbed over getting run over if it cost the driver $. |
