But you see, that's the problem here, we all played this game for a long time, most of you probably more then me, so we all have special attachments or special dislikes to certain aspects and elements.
Condensing all those different opinions (and the ones on here are just some of them) into one concept and ruleset for a Ps server would be extremely difficult when you start messing with the details.
Which is why i say keep it as simple and "default" as possible. That being said i wouldn't start a campaign for BFRs if they should stay in VR.
Now SOE, where is our source code? Internet law demands you give us a try.
Edit:
Also, what really sometimes annoys me about this BFR debate; There is allways this weird conclusion being made by people who really, really dislike BFRs, that no FPS game ever should have them - or atleast no planetside game. Now by all means, don't get me wrong, the dislike for BFRs itself is completely reasonable in my opinion after the first introduction of them into Ps1.
But the conclusion that because of the way they worked back then they therefore can never be implemented again is, quite honestly, ludicrous. With some creative thinking and simple number tweaking they could fit in without a problem. Just replace their guns with emp thumpers, problem solved.
In the end it's simply a question of aesthetics: do you like a mech in your fps or not. And i do.

THANK YOU. PEOPLE WITH WITH REASON.
Yes, the original implementation of BFRs being OP when first released is likely a game killer (But honestly, what's worse, BFRs or Hackers?) They were nerfed and people complained they were nerfed. There's no winning on the subject.
Anyone I've seen who's actually had hands on one immediately grew attached to them.
We atleast need to ask Twitch if he intended to fix CC+BFR.
Sadly it seems unlikely, but atleast he fixed our Cyssor bug, and for that we should repay him somehow.
I just wish some errant thing happened (Like PS2 shutting down) and PS1 came back to its glory days, which I never experienced
My only regret about Planetside is not joining sooner.
I look at BFR's objectively, and I'm not seeing a problem here. I'm really not. It's much like people reacting to swear words. They're not bad, it's just people's reactions to them that have made them bad.
Also, what are you talking about? EMPs -do- work on BFRs. if not even more effectively than normal vehicles.
Effect, that's called an opinion.
