Just had a freaking smurf steal a 1 mil ISK tank from me the second it dropped........ WTF!!!!!!!!

lol thx for the tank bro it was fun until it got blew up after a minute drop me another 1 k?

When you spend a mil on a vehicle, and thats just the beginning of vehicle costs, Why would they allow some nub cake COD Kiddie to just run up and hop in before you can....... The first person allowed into any vehicle for the first "set amount of time" should ONLY be the one who called it in.

Such a simple fix as well, don't understand why it hasnt been implemented.

Well it's actually a few seconds before anybody can take Your vehicle giving you the ability to take your vehicle.
But welcome to new Edin.

Is there a similar system in EVE? If yes, then it probably should be implemented...if not, there's no way its coming...

You don't call in ships in EVE so there's never a chance for someone else to steal it. But, if you do purposely jettison from your ship and leave it floating in space only people with the skills to fly that ship can take it.

And that should be the solution here. When I call in a HAV it is locked to me for the first 30 seconds or so. And later on, if I leave it on the battlefield, only people with the required HAV skills can drive it. This would cut down on vehicle theft while not removing it completely. It would also entice people to skill in vehicles so they can drive things they find abandoned on the battlefield.

Its locked to you for about 2-3 seconds. If thats not enough time to take the drivers seat then sorry you lose and you can call in another if you wish too....or maybe next time wait until your in an area with no blueberries around. There is no kiddie mode for you to join on this game. Either play intelligently or suffer the consequences.

only time i have ever seen this properly used.


also, when dropping tanks, find a corner of the map withought any blue dots, only way to insure you dont get jacked

welcome to New Eden

Been playing since the summer, just have never had this problem before. The influx of COD Kiddies has made the battlefield slightly more idiotic.

only SLIGHTLY?!?!!?!?

Anyone else here think PsychoLogiKal PsyDrei needs to stop posting in this thread?

You sir did not read the first few posts on the first page where it was explained. Take the time to read before replying with snarky comments, thanks.

"Enterprise Lopez" makes sense it would be a mexican to jack my shiat.

Burn....

Nice 1 phoenix.

How so when its my thread, but thanks for the troll bump I guess.

Doesn't matter if you're the OP or not; making posts like "read the entire thread before posting" are uncalled for and serve no purpose whatsoever, other then to needlessly bump the thread and stroke your ego.

After my third tank was taken from me, I started keeping my eyes on the sky, trying to predict where the HAV would land (because sometimes it gets wonky) and immediately sprinting to the likely place. Won't always work, but 95% of the time it will.

All I'll say right now is that I will be keeping an eye out for you; would love to take your tank for a joyride into enemy territory :)

Um there is a system where the first few seconds noone else can get into the vehicle other than the person who called it in. If you wait past that time then its your own fault. Sorry. I love stealing drop ships (which i have no clue how to fly) and crash them. Its part of eve and if someone is dumb enough to not protect their assests they deserve it. I hope this never changes.

Pretty spot on: Only players with the prerequisite skills should be allow to operate a vehicle (and same for turrets).

This way, a newberry wont steal your prototank, but you can still call in a dropship for your (skilled) teammate to fly into buildings.

I dont agree that you have to skill into driving a vehicle. Anyone should be able to drive it. I would agree with you if when you hack/drive a vehicle that vehicle becomes yours such that if the games ends and the vehicle is still alive then it goes to your inventory and not to the person who called it. Right now even if a enemy hacks a vehicle if it survives it goes back to the original owners inventory.

I think you should have the skills for it, but then again maybe not. In EVE, from what I understand, you're connected to the ship; essentially become part of it when your pod is inside. In Dust...you're just a driver. Yes, maybe the controls and all are different depending on the vehicle, but it can't be that different than the militia. Same reasoning that anyone can use a turret.

So, really, it would have to go both ways; to use a vehicle, you'd need the skills, but at the same time, to use a turret, you'd need those skills...all or nothing.

Well, I've been stealing a bunch of enemy tanks.

Again with someone not reading what i wrote earlier stating i waited for all smurfs to leave. Then some guy who was lost in the MCC decided to jump out and take my tank as i was running up the hill to get the damned thing when i called it on the highway behind the MCC.
