this is why we need to be unified and very loud about our concerns.
let them know they may be shooting themselves in the foot by ignoring us.
show them that the community who plays the game feels the issue is of great importance
the squeaky wheel gets the grease after all.

I really don't care what CCP does on this issue.

But until then, I'm WILL steal your LAV.

I do have rules with stealing LAVs though
1-If the owner asks nicely, I'll give it back
2-If the owner is a **** about it, I will get it destroyed ON PURPOSE
3-If the owner is indifferent (doesn't ask for it back), I'll try my best to keep it alive. (I own my own Logi LAV so I can drive pretty well)

Just don't touch my HAV please. It's not really fair when some idiot, and I have no other term that "idiot" for HAV jackers, take a really expensive vehicle or even one I spent my own money on ($$$ not ISKISKISK). I manage my ISK really well with my vehicles, idiots stealing them and blowing them up is a huge pain to deal with, since vehicles is all I can really do

Those who steal BPO vehicles are simply annoying. Those who steal expensive vehicles are cheesy knobs. I'm all for blocking idiots out of my rides.

And so, you demonstrate the old saying: "if you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem". Actually in this case, YOU ARE the problem. I don't have to anymore, but originally, I paid real world money to upgrade my turrets and vehicles.

I have specific missions that I use them for. Many times as a portable turrets. I will have the site pointed for a kill shot and all of a sudden, my LAV is moving, I can't make the shot, and since I know the intentions of the person who jumped in it is 99% of the time going to use it as a murder taxi and get it destroyed, I have to jump off and just let it roll off to destruction, lest I lose my proto suit and equipment too. It's real world money being stolen by thieves, plain and simple. It's not humorous. It's not "o.k.". It's unethical and theft.

Just because it offers the words "press circle to enter vehicle" It's not saying that is what you should do, just how to do it. It's not an invite.

I'm a cheesy knob?

I hope you have an expensive LAV, I'll be just 'valet parking' it

A few ideas that have been mentioned since I started playing in Jan.
-only driver can drive.
-only squad can drive
-owner can lock/unlock
-must have skills to pilot
-remote explosive in driver seat with friendly fire
-eject all passengers Button

Its been brought up alot, and I'm sure we will see the thread again.

until CCP gives us our keys one way I have found to deal with vehicle thieves is to harass them for the rest of the match and if I feel really strongly matches I find myself teamed up with them in the future.... such as constantly running into them with my LAV letting the enemy kill them and... if they get in my vehicle.... driving them to their death either by red line or impact and being that most of the time im running full bp gear and a bp vehicle I find solace in the idea that they are losing isk every time I do this.

I call mine out away from blue dots. :)

Good idea but I think the ability for an awoxer to come and ruin your day should still be available.
Either only timed locking, or no locking available in PC but only your squad can drive in public matches.
Theft and sneaky **** is a big thing in the eve-dust universe and i don't thing that should be taken away.

Or just accept that in a public match you shouldn't bring out the big guns you're not prepared to loose (Don't get me wrong, i like the idea in general but that's what CCP's opinion probably is)

hate this idea. if you're playing solo and pulling out a tank you're a ****-tard.

Kill me in the car, you lose your car and your suit.

I don't care about losing one suit to see the reaction of a driver.

I'm sick and tired of stupid blueberries stealing my LAV! thankfully my SAGA is free (if you don't count the real 100$ I spent on the elite pack) but I think im starting to understand why there are so many useless tank pilots who wont leave the tank to help cap a point or some other task that requires them on foot... im guessing its because they don't want someone stealing their tank and getting it blown up.

seriously I cant tell you how many times I leave my vehicle for 2 seconds to do something useful for my team only to have some idiot come along and steal it, more than most the time getting it blown up.

so I ask of you CCP on behalf of all us vehicle operators give us some way to "lock our vehicles without having to recall them.

please +1 this if you feel the same



thanks.

exactly

i also think that if we are able to steal an enemy vehicle we should be able to recall it after all u did steal if form a bad guy and not ur own team in a situation like that. just this week alone i stole 4 logi lavs from enemy smashdrivers i wish i coulda kept them

This.

when I kill a red and take his vehicle, I want to actually take it. As in it gets added to my assets when I recall it. It's one of those little things that would go a long way to adding more depth to the game.

As for locks, I think we should have a series of permissions that we can toggle for each fit. There should be different layers like self only, squad, team, corp, alliance, and open. You would turn on one or more of these options and only people that fall into those categories to get in your vehicle, with open being that anyone can get in. Also when/if faction standings get put in let us set a certain standing with a specific faction as a limiter. So I could set it to where only people with a standing of 3.0 or higher with the Angel Cartel can get in my dropship, or you need -5.0 or lower with Amarr to get in my tank.
