Disposable Heroes

Not me. PS was never a hardcore tactical sim. It was rather at the opposite end of the scale. Its a game where lives and vehicles are intended to be meaningless.

DashRev pretty much has it right.

I'm not 100% against limited loads though, I just prefer my solutions.

Anyway, perhaps the whole disposable vehicle thing won't be so rampant in PS2 when it costs quantifiable resources to obtain them.

[CutterJohn]

If it costs to obtain them. All thats been said is upgrades cost money. Unless I missed something, of course, but I very much hope thats not the case.

[Talek Krell]

They seem to have waffled a bit on it. Like that bit about capturing a resource because the vanu need it for their tanks and such. I can't imagine how it would work from an empire pool though, unless it was such a small cost as to be negligeable.

Make it so you can't bail within five seconds of taking damage and all is fixed.

[Baneblade]

I still say you shouldn't be able to bail until the vehicle is damaged enough the bailing mechanism has a chance to fail entirely.

I can understand ejecting from a burning Reaver.
