Ok guys, lets talk about hacking vehicles for a moment. We know that this will not be possible in Planetside 2 due to "balance issues and texture budgets"
But what about "Jacking" them.
Imagine you're in a Vanguard, you think you're all cool because you have the best tank in the game, you and your friend are driving along a tight road on Ceryshen with a shear drop on one side.
Suddenly you see a flash of light impact your vehicle, and you no longer have control. It lurches to the right, heading right for the cliff as your gunner bails (the coward), and you with all your willpower hold down the spacebar to try and stop your shiny vanguard from reaching a deadly end, you fail, and you're killed by a tree during the fall.
Essentially I think it would be cool for cloakers or high-level hackers to be able to shoot something akin to a T-REK pulse at a vehicle and temporarily assume control of the driver position for a couple seconds. Hilarity Ensues.
We were shooting the idea around coms the other day, we thought it might be pretty funny, and help people in vehicles still stay on their toes, so thought i'd slap the idea down here to see what people thought.
