one thing I hope for in the neocom is a link to the forums, so I can keep tabs while I'm away from my computer(don't even have a vita yet, but want to get one.) |

Maybe just add a command slot in squads. command slot is occupied by vita user, gains access to orders/orbital drops, and is tied to a specific character. Command slot gets less isk/SP per battle, but can deploy equipment/buffs for WP earned. Items come out of command user's pocket, but can be directly controlled through vita app.
Tie all of this to a skill tree.
Things like Resupply Depots(Restores armor/ammo, lasts for 10/15/20 seconds) or turret installations(How long have we complained about these being in terrible spots!?) allied to one side from the drop.
Maybe even make interaction between the two besides just ordering people around and dropping support. Add a designator item that can be used to deploy a strike from the commander for WP to take out hard targets like heavies, tanks, or a sniper.

Why? Do you have any reasoning for what you say?

I pointed out that they did cost isk for the deployer. and that they require squad WP to deploy. so no turrets at the start, and a lot of people have vitas(I do. at least, and according to near a minimum of 3 others are active within one kilometer and have reported in to near at least once)
it works like the orbital call ins from eve to dust, sqaud leader puts out the call, the command user puts the orbital down.
Dust is pay to win. You spend more isk/aurum you stand a better chance than people who don't, statistically. This would just be another form of spending isk and even giving up a player on the ground for potential benefits to your squad.(potential because you have to rely on them to be competent and earn enough WP with one fewer player on the field.)
Did you even read?

It is an tool to use while playing but it shouldn't offer any extra perks next to bring able to see the overhead map or drop an OB. No different than the advantage a person with a mic has or a keyboard that has hotkeys for menus that controllers don't have. It should reward the player a small bit but it shouldn't give a win button, the last I saw it could only do merc quarters stuff.
That would work too. I love fiddling with my stuff and some of my best ideas come when I'm nowhere near my ps3.

Did you even read? Paying isk isn't pay to win it's something everyone has access too. Aurum isn't either. That's why aurum frees no advantages over regular equipment. Why should a vita app be given special abilities that not everyone has access too. We have a deployable screen already when we call in vehicles and orbitals why do you we need a separate one on a handhold that I repeat no one has them. They're like wiiU's atm The app is better for letting people make fittings, buy and sell stuff and send messages or chat. this game is free to play. You shouldn't need to spend 200$ to access a special mode that gives you special abilities. While we're at it make havs and dropships only operable from the vita.
Because that's stupid. you're taking functionality out of the game. in this way you're adding to it and giving sony a reason to put up with this game.
Right, keep telling me that aurum is no advantage while you pay for your SP and FW point boosts. That is paying for an advantage that is not available to people who do not pay. The very definition of pay to win.

The very definition of pay to win. You want to make deployables require a vita how is that not taking functionality out of the game. it's the same thing And as you already said it's stupid. Just like commander modes. A small free app on the vita isn't going to make Sony want to support this game any more than it already does.-áWe have 10k players tops.-á What's wrong with squad leaders calling orbitals now? Why do we need a special mode that only vita users can use? Why should they be allowed to drop crus and supply depots where ever they want when the regular players can't. (which you suggested)
I never said "only" with a vita. Just for the commander slot, basically what CCP wanted to do with the commander suit. and you would never specifically require a vita, it would just be easier than navigating through menus while people try to kill you. And squad leads would still have full control in lieu of commander slot being filled, with a volunteer and vote system. It should be a measure of confidence from the squad.
I also never said anything about cru's or full supply depots( I suggested temporary ones that cost squad WP and isk from the commander's pocket to deploy)

Auris, why are you so against a commander mode? Some people enjoy playing differently. I for one prefer and do better at overwatch/coordinating a defense over simply rushing guys with a shotgun like so many other scouts.

I shouldn't be able to call in anything that no one else can and they shouldn't be allowed to do the same.
What does a commander mode offer apart from exactly that.
If it doesn't offer that what does it offer that makes it essential to spend resources making it when we have so many broken features already.
Dunno. Why do they keep adding suits and guns when the core of the game is so broken?
