shooting from vehicles being the main contender, I expect. And I don't see that happening with the vehicles we have just now.

Sympathetic, but doubtful.






I vote for shooting from vehicles. If you look at your speederbike, you will see there is a blaster installed on the underside. That's what that little thing is that sticks straight down for a few inches and then forward for a foot or so... its a blaster for pete's sake... so why can't you use it?

I'm not sure about mask scent part...but since you can check on your harvestor's status and retrieve resources, why can't artisan survey on vehicle? Just survey, not sampling resources.

vanishing vehicals aside, they need to sort out the x3 requests to get in or out of the vehical as well. maybe let us survey wen static. that would be good.

Nope, not for me.


The main arguement for this is the Vehicle dissappeance bug and they are rpoviding a workaround in publish 6 or 7. They are removing the need to camp to pull out droids/vehicles and pets. So there is no need to implement this request.

Masked Scent works from a vehicle for one simple reason. The animals in this universe are universally stupid. They all appear to rely on their sense of smell exclusivly in hunting their prey. They pay no attenton to any noise made by anything (including but not limited to stupid singing noobs), and you can walk right up to one while he's staring you straight in the eye, and give him a good smack on the chops (or pre-heat him for the barbie if that's your thing)...You could install a rumble pack on a straight pipe in your X34 and only your neighbors will know when you've started your day...

Vehicle disappearing?


I dont have this happen instantly, it has to sit htere for quite a while, 10mins atleast.



My problem is the Anti-Sync that Bria has, I have NEVER gotten off my bike, without being kicked back atleast 100meters.



Thats coming to a complete stop, heck iv even left it there for 5mins, and it STILL booted me halfway across the city.



/sign for the survey on vehicle

I kind of enjoy the fact I have no combat skills and dismounting my bike is going to warp me in 2000m any direction possible... and then not knowing if I will rewarp right on top of my bike or 60m from it in the middle of a voritor lair at which point it becomes a foot race to the bike

I totally agree with being able to survey from vehicles MAINYLY because of being teleported 100+ meters away from your speeder when dismounting. That macro has never worked for me because of this. Alot of you argue stating that it adds a sense of realism to have to dismount and survey. How real is it to be throwen 100+m away from your bike when you get off? It's not like I jumped off my bike while holding the throttle down at wide open.
