The color scheme is modified to your faction, when you steal a vehicle.

You cannot hijack a VS Galaxy, gather in enemy troops, and then proceed to slam into the side of a mountain.. Would be awesome, but wont happen.

Secondly, and I most deffinetly could be incorrect in stating this but doesnt the color scheme of the vehicle you have jacked conform to what empire you are loyal to?

thats dumb, I dont know about you but most people can steal a car and then paint it right there. I think that letting people fly other faction vehicle would open up a whole knew demension to teh game. Well thats my 2 cents.

That's idiotic, if it didn't immediately paint your empire's colors on it, there would be chaotic friendly fire and the person on your empire who kills you will get grief points just because you're a dumbass.
Also, I can't remember, when a tank blows up does it take out everyone inside it? or does it throw everyone out unscathed?

If a vehicle explodes with you in it, you die.

A VS mosquito??? The skeeter is common pool. Why the hell would anyone purposely go after them?? :rolleyes:

Well, better that you have it than your enemy does.

Since vehicle explosions are supposed to be lethal to people near the vehicle (as borne out by the latest screenie), it isn't too much of a stretch to assume that the people inside are going to be crisy critters as well.

Well because i didnt know that the colors would change on the vehicle so i would be flying a VS colored Mosquito. If you read my question you would know that.

I think the thing you're gonna be seeing the most of is the inside of spawn tubes.

I really do think that they should change that, the colors shouldn't change to ur factions colors because then u wont be able to sneak around in them. I want to steal the magrider and expect not to be noticed within their group. That would be the best.

Or they can just paint a big red X over the other factions symbol and paint yours to the left or right of it and still keep the original faction colors.

If the colors didn't change it would be way too much chaos, TKing would be very common. One small accidental blast from a friendly tank and the whole squads goes TKer on it because they think it's been hacked, then they see an enemy Reaver but wait till it fires and kills 2 guys because they aren't sure if it is indeed enemy. The game pace would be screwed up as well as the griefing system. I'm glad it's not like that. :)

Would it be the best when your own team kills you because you're driving what looks like an enemy tank? Sorry chief, the PS devs have really cracked down on cowardly tactics in the game, so you'll have to try something else.

But, at the very least, you'll get to see a Magrider in the black and red of the Terran Republic, rather than the teal, light gray and purple of the Vanu. And as we all know, black + red > teal + purple + light gray.
