I'll admit after spending probably over a month now and millions of sp I am still not happy with my heavy attack vehicle. I felt like so many war points would get me my bang for my buck but in reality i was paying a huge buck for not such a quite big bang. So how about this in order to help players save isk on their tank's allow them to insure vehicles? Just feel like tankers should be able to get something back ya know? Pay 50k to insure a 200k tank and get 100k back players who wanted to invest in their tanks say 20 tanks would have to pay around 1,000,000 to ensure them all, insuring could be the new smart thing what do yall think?
In Corp matches you would decide whether or not to use an expensive tank based on risk/reward. The tank driver would also likely be "sponsored" by his corp, as well as of course having his tank protected.
In pub-matches is much the same, but if the price of a tank was low enough to make it financially rewarding even if it gets blown up... I don't know, I don't think we really need to encourage the use of tanks in pub-matches more, to be honest. On the other hand, I do see a lot op people only calling in a tank near the end of the match, to rack up some quick kills before it ends, without too much risk of losing it.
Maybe allowing people to have their vehicles "recalled" would help? You could call in a tank, but if you feel it's not needed anymore, or doesn't help, or everyone and their dog are coming after you with AV, you could call an RDV to pick it up?
I don't know, I'm not particularly for or against a generic price-drop for tanks, but insuring them does seem a bit weird. Since the risk is so high, the insurance rate would have to be astronomical to be believable.
The only difference with a simple flat price-drop would be that you would lose your insurance money if the tank doesn't get blown up and that you would be able to choose whether or not to insure it for specific matches I guess... I don't think these offer any great advantages compared to a simple price drop, yet they would need a new system to be coded... |
