But that's just some ideas, obviously I have no idea how things are implemented in the engine.
I think it's worth trying to keep in though, it really added some variety to the game and a great sense of accomplishment when bringing home that purple Vanguard.

Sounds more like a budget issue if anything. I would not be shocked to see this implemented into the game eventually with a major update. While I do find the current expert hacking of vehicles speed a bit much, I had no problem with the ADV. Hack one. It was nice driving around in enemy vehicles from time to time. Thats not even mentioning the value it has to capturing AMSes and such.
