You're bad and you should feel bad.

he should be thanking you for stopping the enemy using his tank and destroying your team or blowing it up on purpose. :D

On one hand you did save his tank. On the other even militia grade tanks are not cheap when you are just starting out. It is easier to swallow if you lose the tank because its your fault. You had no commitment to keep the tank alive because you didn't put the ISK into to, even if it was just a militia grade tank. Would it have really been that difficult just to have switched turrets with him?

I know New Eden is a rough place but it is these kinds of shenanigans that make people leave the game.

Lol, I enjoyed his tears thoroughly.

You should have driven it into the redline and let it blow up.

Oh, this would've been waaay funnier!

Oh, this would've been waaay funnier!

Lol. It's militia grade. Who's busting nuts over militia grade?

That's what I do when I steal an enemy's tank lol. After driving around a killing with it a bit ofcourse.

stole an enemy tank once. he brought another one in. killed him with his tank. saw him bringing another one in the redline. drove to the redline blew it up before it hit the ground and self destructed his tank. triple kill with tanks losing 0 isk.

As long as there is a related topic I have a similar scenario: This guy called in a Sica with several mods. Well he lost connection or left the match before he got in it. So was it right for me to have taken it especially since I got no kills or even points with the thing?( they had 2 madrugers and a sagaris, I think you know were it went)

When you only have a few hundred thousand anyone and you are using it on tanks to get better at them 138k is a good bit of ISK is you are funding it alone without a corporation to give you money. I would mention decency and respect but this is just a game and anonymity really makes people completely different. So I won't even bother.

Even if they don't turn on friendly fire I would call down a free LAV and when ever I see you hop out right as it is about it hit so you end up getting killed. Its just ISK right? Just a dropsuit who's busting nuts over a dropsuit?

It's funny people pat each other on the back about taking a team mates vehicle when they have no commitment to it. 138k ISK is still 138k ISK. Enough to fully fit an advanced dropsuit they are putting into something that is militia grade. And yet those who steal others vehicles how often do you risk your own ISK to bring in a vehicle? its not even about the grade of a vehicle it is about the principle of it.

It really depends on why you took it. If you felt you could actually achieve something with it, then sure, keep it, but if you kept it just so you could troll the guy that called it in, then you are both removing yourself form the battle by using a vehicle that you have no skill in, and removing the guy you stole from the battle by taking the only thing he HAS skilled in.

I actually took it because the enemy was hacking it, I killed him, and no one was around. A while later some blueberry is freaking out shooting at me like crazy, if he woulda not went nuts I woulda used the tank for some good but he pissed me off with pretty Nasty hatemail so I just let the enemy destroy it while he watched

I don't know, I have had someone steal my "****** tank" due to me getting caught on the call in. I tried the same thing (minus hate mail) to get my tank back. He proceeds to drive it straight into the enemy team and gets it destroyed in 3 minutes. Now what the driver didn't understand, was there were modules he could have activated to keep the tank alive. Second, it was a railgun tank I had called in to deal with the enemy tank. A militia fit tank can still cost several hundred thousand ISK and still be extremely effective, but if the person who "saves" your tank has no idea how to regulate modules, understands that not all tanks are blaster tanks, and survivability of a tank isn't regulated to just rolling around murdering everyone, then that investment high or low, is completely wasted.

If they ever turn on friendly fire and someone blows up my tank the first thing I will do is find them and repeatedly kill them until the match kicked me out, but it would be worth it. Lets see how much ISK I can cost you with the loss of my tank. Eventually the ISK will even out. People stop stealing tanks, people stop team killing. I see a win-win for everyone.

This is New Eden. HTFU. Seriously.

If it meant spending a mil or more worth of ISK to get my needs done, you damn right I'll do it. ISK ain't a thing to me. In fact. I spend WAY more than 138k ISK when I use suits other than my militia assault with Exile rifle in a battle.

We're not patting each other on the back. And even if we did it wouldn't be over someone stealing a tank from someone who apparently hopped out of it like a fool and got it taken. I'm laughing at the fact someone actually felt some type of way when the outcome was way better than what could have happened. Much rather have some blueberry driving my cheap tank than some redberry.

It is this attitude that is going to keep Dust 514 from growing. If CCP wants to cater to their die hard crowd and keep their population totals low, regardless if its free or not, that is entirely on them.

So how about you call in a vehicle let some random blue drive it around and watch what you invested in get destroyed and you have no control over it. Sounds fun right?

Drink young merc, consume the nourishment coming from the forever flowing teets of the butthirt and one day you'll grow to be a strong tear harvester

Your getting one more "like" to add to your pile LMAO

Exactly. I'm pissed if you take my tank either way, but if you can actually successfully drive it around and use it, then I'm not that mad.
It's when somebody takes the tank and drives it right into the enemy's most fortified position expecting to win because tanks are totally OP against assaut rifles, right? And then proceeds to get slammed by the 3 guys with darksides hiding behind the rocks that I ******* knew were right there.
But just to be clear, OP is a faget who doesn't understand the **** invested into tanks.

Exactly what I am talking about. If you call in the tank, you want to protect your investment and you are probably aware of what threats you need to be on the look out for. Whenever I see someone "save" a tank, they almost always drive straight into tank traps and get obliterated because they don't pay attention to hardeners, reppers, NEVER aim at AV fits, or even identify what type of turret they have on the thing.

Edit: I do agree that if the person drives well I don't mind. Even if I am in one of the turrets I still keep the tank if it survives. Also I would rather a ****** on my team ruin my tank then a skill driver on the other team get in it.

if you're dumm enough to just leave it out there for me to take, why should i give a damn?

had mine stolen same as everyone else, faults mine for not paying attention and getting in it right away

Not saying it is anyone's fault or that you should care about taking it. Even good players get caught from time to time, e.g STB always going to the same spot to call in their tanks on a specific map and watching them do it. I always prefer someone on my team taking my tank over the enemy.

I don't quite understand the hostility towards people venting frustration on your part though.

did not know that happens, my apologies if i've been that jerk off

I noticed especially with dropships that timer delay counts down even with the degenerate blind cat that pilots the RDVs remains over it. Though it has happened to my tank alt as well. I will be standing there waiting for the f-ing thing to move and then I get the "O" and someone is already inside. Or you click the "O" to quickly and get right out and someone is already driving away. Incredibly frustrating.

I drunkenly drove a tank into one of those holes in the ground by some of the objectives (with the grates n such) and it got stuck halfway into it. After trying to get it out for a few moments, i saw more and more reds approaching, and since i was already taking AV pressure I decided to bail out of the (now) stationary turret.
Bad choice, i was gunned down, only to watch them hack it.

It was with a heavy heart that I selected my forge gun fit in the fittings list as I spawned into my uplink overlooking the objective.....

... BTW if ISK is that tight that you can't afford to buy another 138k tank then you need a militia fit suit to go do 2 ambushes in to get your one tank, sit at the back of the map and don't get shot or go get some kills with militia gear and make more than 138k isk in the match by scoring WP through either a nanohive for teammates to use, a needle to revive or a repair tool to rep armor so that you can afford the better tanks. ISK payouts are based on time in match and WP so get the WP to earn the isk.
