Nice work by AMS driver in Faro today

[beavis88]

I logged out behind enemy lines last night -- logged in and raised some hell. Eventually hacked an AMS in the courtyard, but the bastard driver parked it head-on against a wall so a no-AMS-cert-hacker-loser like me couldn't deploy it!

Seems like a good idea -- would also keep noobs from undeploying it while looking for the terminal. Harder to do in the wild for sure, but seems like you could find a tree or something...

[TekDragon]

Not a bad idea at all.

Anything to keep friendly AMS drivers from pulling out their hair. I feel for you guys

I hate it when some idiot un-deploys the AMS. I wish you could lock the deployment.

[Hamma]

It used to happen so much, not as bad now in my experience.

[MrVulcan]

not as bad now, but it still happens.

I was attacking a tower a few days ago, and set up an ams just out of their view,
It was going well, but just after I left the cloak shield after respawning, I saw a rever fly overhead. He didnt see the bubble on his pass and kept on going, then just before he was out of range, someone undeploied my ams, the reaver caught it, spun around and killed it.

Argh......

We do need to be able to lock it

[Doppler]

How did he get it deployed in the first place parking it like this, am i missing something?

[MrVulcan]

I dont think it was deploied there, jsut parked there (or at least how I read it) perhaps you can deply from inside? I dont know?

[Xao]

If you drive it into a wall, how the heck do you deploy it?

[Doppler]

Hmm what whould be the point of just parking an ams somewhere and not deploying it? I've been an ams driver a bit and to the best of my knowledge there is no way to deploy the AMS from the cockpit, ditto on the ANT. In fact now that i think about this, it whould be a great way to fix the issue of people undeploying locked AMS, if they cant get in the cockpit, they cant undeploy, simple as that.

[MilitantB0B]

Maybe he was able to deploy it from the other side of the wall.

[Doppler]

Was it deployed when you hacked it Bob?

Drat, there goes a good strategy out the window.

Im pretty suer you can have the ams deployed while still in the cockpit. I had that done for me when my AMS started getting reaver raped. I jumped into the thing, yelled at my friend to undeploy and drove it off. Stupid reaver hit a tree....very funny.


If he drifted very close to a crouched friendly who was against a wall, the friendly could deploy just before being hit. Motion would probally carry the ams to the wall. Of course...youd either kill or trap the friendly player...I know ive been cuaght underneath an ams before.

I admit, I am the one undeploying everyone's AMSs. Yeah, I had a feild day just deploying and undeploying this guy's AMS trying to get to the equiment screen, I just wanted my sweeper... The guy got insanely mad, though, and I had to run before he started chasing me.
