Keys everyone that starts a career in vehicles will be given a key with a random 4 digit key number when u first put points into driving or flying. You will have that number through out your career u do not get different keys every time u buy a vehicle they would be blank until u call them down then they would be assigned your personal key en route.

If u choose drop ship you would get a pilots license key same with lav and hav they would all be different. Your key is unique to you and will stay with u as u go from std to proto and even specialize they would just upgrade to allow u to use the next level of vehicle when u reach it but still allow u to drive a lower grade if need be.

But what if jim bob has the same skills as you or mister noob decides he wants to play and tries to hop in your tank.drop ship or lav and hot rod around in it. Well they would default to a gun or in case of a drop ship or lav a random gun or seat because his key is different from yours.

Now your probably thinking what if i hack someones vehicle. Well during the hacking process you would bypass the key allowing anyone to drive it regardless of level.

What do u guys think.

No. Vehicle theft is part of the New Eden experience. If you snooze, you lose. My corp just stole an Orca in EVE that had been left unattended by the pilot who was mining in a Skiff right next to it. We just jumped in and flew away. If you have to hack it now in order to steal it, then it is already harder than it is in EVE, which makes sense given the chaotic nature of a battlefield, but it makes having keys or licenses incredibly redundant if people can still just hack it regardless of level.

So people wouldn't have keys for their vehicles?

There is no such thing as keys to a tank. I also highly doubt with New Eden technology that keys, which can be stolen and looted from your dead corpse, would be the technology of choice for getting access to a vehicle of any kind.

If only ccp would implement this. See when u say this I think lock out so no one can the guns or anything and what's to stop someone from hopping in before u get a chance to press square

And when a teammate try to use your vehicle it can only use the machine gun or the passenger seat but not the driver seat. Huh?

How can they be looted if you are bio massed upon death?
