Lets say Zitro drove a prototype tank and someone kills him while he calls his tank in. If that person was the enemy and that enemy gained the ability to hack his tank, should he be allowed to drive it if he hasn't invested any SP into tank skills?

Simple answer no

Take EVE for an example

Just say a player is out in his pod and stumbles across an empty Drake (Battlecruiser), he may be able to board the ship if he has the required skills to fly the hull but if he didnt he couldnt board it to begin with

Also if he could fly the ship but it already had T2 mods on it they would be offline because he doesnt have the required skills to use them

So if I steal a Lamborghini in real life I shouldnt be able to go all GTA in this MOFO?

The SP investment allows you to BUY them not DRIVE them.

No you can BUY anything you want at any time. I can buy right now buy as many proto suits as i want but i wont be able to use them till i put skill points into them. Tanks are same way. If someone invested 3mil sp into tanks and has it stolen by someone who hasnt spent anything into tank, why should they be able to use it as a weapon?

So then if Zitro called in the proto tank but just wanted to snipe in the turrets then whoever jumps into the driver seat would also have to have the same skills and setup otherwise it would sit there because you had no other drivers.

BECAUSE THEY STOLE IT. You are investing SP TO BUY THE DAMN THING!

I'm Stealing the Lambo, not buying it.


p.s. sorry for yelling

but im not talking about any Lambo or real life object. im talking about a tank in a video game which requires skill points to use its weapon. and like i said you dont need sp to buy it all you need is ISK, you need sp to drive and use the weapons

Think of it like this. Zitro took the drivers license to be able to pilot the tank. I have not. When I steal his tank, I can still drive it.

Trust me I understand where you are coming from.

I feel if I hack your stuff its mine. Period. Like you started it up with your top secret clearance but left the badge and keys in it while playing outside your tank. I bust the lock and Heeelllllooooo tank. You just started it with your skills but left it running?

Have you forgotten that there is s militia version if almost anything? Anyone can get a militia vehicle and use it, but thru can't use it well and get the crappiest stats. So yes you should be able to steal his tank but you shouldn't be able to use his module's or get any bonus stats from the tank, you hijack it and don't have the sp you get base stats

More like if you stole a tank irl and had no idea how to operate it.

I did always find it strange that anyone could use any vehicle regardless of their skills.
