Bailing

[ZionsFire]

I think we should be able to bail out of a vehicle at any speed. I HATE it when we are driving through a battle trying to escape from a tank or something in my deliverer, and some guy hits ALT-G and slows us down and then BOOM! You would take more damage the faster you're going of course.

add in a tuck-and-roll animation for when you hit the ground

Give hover vehicles, namely the mag and thresher, brakes >_>

This is the reason I don't pick-up guys who aren't in my squad or outfit. It never fails, I'll feel sorry for some poor schmuck running down the road so I'll pick him. 2 minutes later he decides to bail as we engage a magrider. Guess what happen next.

Even worse as of late with the kill the guy who is dismounting bug.

I agree, the mag and thresher need brakes badly. It takes forever for this thing to stop, and if you try to stop to get out if your being hit badly, you die before you come remotely close to stopping completely. Also, without brakes you get grief sometimes because some idiot runs in front of you in a base and you can't stop or turn. With the other tanks brakeing you don't have this problem and you can stop before you hit the poor man.

The Mag has brakes, just not effective ones due to the fact that it has nothing thats in contact with the ground to slow it down. Maybe put some forward mounted hover thingies.

I totally agree. This is mostly a problem with Deliverer/Sund. No body but the gunners wants to stay in the vehicle and it becomes a real pain in the ass to get out especially if you know the driver sucks

[TeraHertz]

yeah, thats damn annoying. I would say,without embleishment or exageration, 1 of every 2 times that I decided to take on non alliance folk, they'll ALT-G. The other day some guy alt-g'd, then proceeded to shoot the back of my sunderer, all because i was taking my outfit to a waypoint, rather the direction he wanted to go (the direction of the zerg lemmings.) I got out and VVC'd him. He stopped for two seconds then took another couple of cheeky shots at me, then tried to run away. That earned him a short sharp trip back to base via Pulsar.

It's not a serious problem, but it does damage the way outfits operate. There would be far more transport available for newbies if it weren't for these few people who insist on jumping out of a well manned sunderer just becasue some lightning has managed to get some early shots in and gotten you down to 50%. More often than not, that lightning will be a fraction away from death, but by slowing you down it allows the thing to drive right up under the sunderer guns and open up with it's MG.

Yea this has been brought up before but that makes it no less a good issue.

:D wait, u can press alt-g to make the driver stop... :eek: :mad: :evil:

[Cauldron Borne]

I run over the moron if i see 'em again. I HATE when they do that. I used to have the deliv, but dropped it after this happened to be enough times. The gunners always wanna stay, and the passengers always wanna make unschedualed stops. 'But you said you wanted to go to this base!' 'we're takin fire!' 'Well we wouldn't have been, if you weren't such a dumbass as to wanna bail right in the middle of a TANK BATTLE!!!'

Me and a dumbass in re-exo. the guy didn't even have ANY AV on him, was he gonna gauss them to death? THE TANKS WERE PROWLERS! ALL FULLY MANNED!!!!!!!!

Give hover vehicles, namely the mag and thresher, brakes >_> :fu:

The mag is not a hovercraft.



And the orginal model had thrusters, sort of like wings, sticking out the side, to act as thrust and brake.

But they nerfed the model.

And no, the mag does NOT have ANY BRAKES!

you change the thrust, you hit brake, you let go of the thrust, it slows down at the EXACT same speed. It has zero brakes. None. Whatsoever. The only thing that slows it down is neutons laws.

[Katanaboy]

true, I hate trying to stop in a mag, I always end up running into a wall. but at least pressing space still makes the brake lights turn on. :)

[ZionsFire]

Everytime I drive a mag through a friendly base, it's always the same thing... about 5 friendlies run infront of me. I TRY to brake but, same old thing...ERRRRRR*squish*RRRRRRR*squish**smash*

[flypengy]

It seems like a gunner slowing down and bailing and a gunner just shooting out of your vehicle leave you screwed either way...

One you stop and they kill you.

or,

Two you don't stop and you run around getting shot at =p
