Re: Dedicated driver certification for MBT

Here's your three person solution; Give tanks 3 positions:
Driver
Tank commander
Secondary gunner
Driver only drives, but position is only accessible with 2 or more players in the tank. Tank commander drives and guns the main gun and is the default position when you get in the tank. If someone gets in the driver position the tank commander can relinquish driver controls to him, otherwise he's pretty much just along for the ride. Tank commander can take back driving controls at any time. Secondary gunner is straightforward.
This gives the owner of the tank (who put down his hard-earned resources to buy it) the fun position (main gunning) as well as control of the vehicle when he chooses or at his choice can leave the driving up to a dedicated driver. It also doesn't play favorites as far as certain empires requiring more players to fully man a vehicle, there is parity for each.
As for the armor, perhaps something similar to Tribes: Ascend where you can get a perk (cert) that gives you 50% more armor with a 2nd player, or 100% more with a 3rd.
