Expanded Locker Idea

Red October · 2004-07-02, 01:54 PM

Yeah, I know...WTF?!

But a couple of nights ago while I was hacking a Vangaurd and then jumped into the gunner's seat surprising the hell out of some NC, a thought occured to me. I want a "Garage" to store this thing. Usually I'll just leave the tank for someone else or keep firing untill I'm out of ammo or get blown up. But, if I could actually keep the thing, I'd store it in a garage much like I store other enemies weapons in a locker. It could also be useful for storing an AMS for those situations where the enemy finds the AMS and destroy's it at the same time the gen is blown (and of course, Nobody else brought an AMS, they all assumed Somebody would have done it, Anyone could have....)

Well, anyway...I think it would be a fairly good idea.

It'd be a waist of programming time, and this was in the game once, but it was rarely used and useless so it got the boot.

Well it sounds like a good idea, if it only carried 1, maybe 2 vehicles. Any more than that, and People will just spend all day every day trying to hack into as many enemy vecs as possible.

To be honest, there are only three reasons why you'd want a garage.

1)To store an enemy vehicle to strut your stuff around the sanctuary.
2)To store your vehicle for a special event.
3)If you'd hacked a vehicle just before logging off and wanted it when you came back.

Anything else and you might as well just use it there and then. Whether the above reasons constitute good reasons for garages I can't say.

wouldnt it be useful for tank drivers, perhaps in the future we'll be able to customise them, then there'd ba a garage.

Id use it. too many times have a seen some guy with a hacked magrider come to a facility near a battle, show it off for about an hour then it deconstructs its self. then the resulting "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111" in global chat.
