One poll option is "never," implying that a vehicle wouldn't auto deconstruct even if you pulled a new vehicle.

If you look in my original post you will find details about what this means, ill post it here for reference.
Yes this option is giving you the choice to never have your vehicle self deconstruct unless it is destroyed. As far as if the server could handle that is another story. By never I would say until you logout/change continents/ect something along those lines, already apologized for not being specific, just wanted some general options. As I told you before, I wanted to give everyone the right to vote for what they wanted, regardless of if I wanted that or it was possible.

Ummm...? no wording aside, it means exactly what I said. If you enter a galaxy, or gun someones tank, your vehicle is no longer needed and it should deconstruct. This will save server space as well. It doesnt matter if you pull your own vehicle or enter someone else's, by doing this you are stating you no longer require your vehicle.

But as long as a character is logged in and hasn't pulled another vehicle, they should get to keep their vehicle no matter how long they are away for it.

exactly, except i added that entering ANY vehicle deconstructs a vehicle you currently have. Reason being is to save server space, if the game has enough room to allow someone to leave their tank somewhere and jump in a gal or gun for someone, that is fine. But since it seems that server space is an issue, I decided that this wasn't as important. The main idea is as long as you have your vehicle and don't enter another one, yours shouldnt self deconstruct.

yea I agree
