I wanted to put forward a few thoughts to see if they find traction with the community, and hell, maybe even with the devs!
First off, let me state that I am not much of a vehicle driver personally. You'll rarely see me in one or calling them down... but I wanted to highlight the key issue that has become even worse since the removal of free LAVs. Now don't get me wrong, I am happy with the removal of free LAV's, it's amazing how cheap we all are, it really cut down on the spamming of LAV's to run each other down.
I think that we really need to have vehicles drivers seats only accessible to a squad member, not any stupid *** blueberry on your side. I've seen many instances of a driver getting out to hack something, and thereby help out the team, only to have some ******* blueberry jump in and drive off on the poor guy... followed by what i presumed was much cursing on their part. My reasoning is you can control who you squad with so if they jump in the drivers seat you've probably told them to, if not, stop squading with them. I'm sure tank drivers would be happy to know they don't have to worry about someone yanking their tank by hoping in before they do. Obviously further controls by the vehicle owner are desirable, but I would think this could be a quick easy step in the right direction.
My other thought is that if you hack an enemy vehicle it should be added to your inventory if it is not destroyed before battle ends and removed from the previous owners. This way there would be a real purpose in hacking a vehicle instead of blowing it up to get the WP or driving it into the red zone to deny the owner it (come on, we've all done it!).
Start the comments / trolling. |

Excellent. Now we can eagerly await the locks... I still like the other hacking / salvage concept, i wonder if it will ever be considered. |

Only difference, in Dust you could still be a passenger.
I like this thought a lot. Prevent someone from spamming say HAV's for team mates that couldn't call them in themselves. |

Spec Ops Cipher wrote:Make it so that only squad can access, but when a blue dot tries, it sends a request to the owner, with the name of the person trying to use the vehicle, and let the owner accept or deny it. If accepted, that blue dot can use it, of not, then they can't, and they lose the option to request access for that particular vehicle.
There's plenty of spare buttons on the D-pad that can be used to allow/deny. IMO that would solve this
That's actually probably a better idea then the one they have listed in that dev thread request. This way not just the drivers seat could be limited but the passengers as well. |

a) Who's to say the person is not already skilled into it.
b) One day I will be able to sell it.... one day...
