Closest you can get to this is a portable CRU module in a vehicle.

The mCRU is something else. That's for spawning other troops into a vehicle you're piloting. I'm talking about you, the pilot, spawning directly into your vehicle rather than spawning in a dropsuit and calling it in once you've hit the ground. Basically, cut out the middle man, remove the element of "blue dot grabs my HAV before I can and runs off with it", and in general the start of the game as a vehicle operator smoother.

So, leik, you're in the vehicle as the RDV drops you off?

Basically he wants to be able to bring it in without the risk of dying before it arrives or someone stealing it when it's dropped off; in other words, artificial protection from risks that should be there.

Never mind the technical issues with implementation, which are extensive.

Have you never seen someone blow up RDVs and/or the stuff they're bringing before the user gets into them? I have, and I've had it happen to me as well.

I dunno, I think it'd just be kinda cool to show up in a tank.

I have, though more often it's their crappy AI getting them killed (people are really averse to AV in this build, or your scenario would be more common.) As it stands, with only being able to call in six vehicles at a time per time, i see ALL of the risks helping to keep things flowing and make people think about whether to call it in or not; if the cap were lifted I don't think it would matter so much. I could see some merit to this for the initial spawn on a PC match, since here there would be coordination, preparation, and an actual plan, but for the other game modes, and for subsequent spawns, I think we should stick with the current mechanics of having to call in replacements.
