Of course dropsuits can run solo, you can wear a tux without having someone else use the arms for you. Tanks on the other hand, are house sized, multiple heavy weapon toting machines of destruction, so of course you need more than one person using it. I think the OP's idea is awesome. It would encourage strategy and teamwork, instead of just piling on expensive guns and mods and mowing down hapless AV guys. |

Sometimes I can't dedicate two or three hours to gaming. In fact, most times I can't do that. This means I can't go into corp chat and find a group of dedicated squaddies to run with. I have twenty minutes, I'm going to play two ambush matches, and then I'm going to get back to work.
For one of you dropsuit guys, this wouldn't be an issue. You can just run around un-mic'd and spam grenades, or bullets, or reps, or whatever your thing is. And you're gonna do just fine. I can usually hit top 3 on my team in a militia logi suit this way.
For vehicle drivers, however, it's just flat out not possible. Especially under systems such as those outlined in the OP. It becomes such that if I want to be a vehicle operator I don't just benefit from being on comms. I have to be on comms with corpmates I'm accustomed to working with, or else I'm going to die. And that just isn't good balance.
Should HAVs be something that works best when used with friendlies? Like everything else in the game, yes. Should they, and all other vehicles, be completely inaccessible to casual players? Hell damn no.
It's not forcing you, it's incentivizing teamwork. |
