if you end up getting a opposing team's vehicle, say your NC and you end up getting a thresher and you want to keep it, where do you put it when you log off? then how do you retrive it? i know you can put weapons in a locker, but...? and will you be able to get into your other character's lockers when you are using your primary character?

You can deconstruct vehicles. but I'm not sure if you can "carry" this around or put it in a locker. It might be that you just deconstruct it and it's gone. If that's the case you can only use the said vehicle for as long as you're logged on

As for the lockers, they would only be useful for enemy weapons seeing as yours are free. If they are going to be strict about it, you would assume that character can't go into other people's lockers. I think to avoid complications though you will have one locker for all you characters.

The locker system currently is all friendly lockers open as if they were your locker (i.e. You put some stuff in your locker on one continent, travel to another, take control of an air tower, and then open up the locker, the same stuff is in there, as there was in the first locker). Also, if a locker is hacked, it just means you have access to your own stuff, so there is no way to "steal" other players items out of lockers.

I believe it was SJ who said that it was smart to have a backup weapon in your locker in case the gen was blown up.
And I highly doubt that you'll share locker across an account.

The lockers subject has been beaten to death, dismembered, and evenly distributed across a five mile radius. Does ANYONE know if deconstructed vehicles are like suitcases that fit in a locker?

Deconstructed vehicles can be carried around and placed in lockers. They can only be reconstructed at vehicle pads. So you can deconstruct a stolen empire-specific vehicle and store it in your locker for later use. But you can't whip a vehicle outta yer pocket in the field. Lemme dig up that link...
