Just after a base cap on Cyssor a few days ago, I ran back upstairs to grab my reaver I had parked on a landing pad. I pressed G a few times to get in, and was thinking it was lag. Then, I noticed a message the kept coming up in my chat box.
"Can not enter vehicle while it is being stolen from its owner."
So, I flick darklight on, and sure enough, there was an infiltrator crouched on the other side hacking my reaver. Gave him a quick triple shot and dropped him, but I did think it was pretty unfair for him. I believe that message could use a bit of a change...

Why?

You cannot steal a vehicle while it has an owner (damned flails!) so if you were to enter while the guy is hacking, could end up with some nasty concequences. Namely you sitting in an enemy reaver or crashing or something.

Interesting, that must be new. I have previously watched people get into an AMS as I was hacking it, and the hacking bar just disappeared.

I've observed that too in my Lightning. Perhaps it's after a certain point in the hack that kicks in? It kind of sucks for an infiltrator...but ask any car thief, when the owner starts walking up the best idea is to get the hell away.

Lol, so true to life.
