Am I the only one who hates the fact you need to exit your vehicle to survey? I just findexiting a vehicle each time to be really monotonous and a pain in the rear and not fun. If it is a technical issue, fine. If it is a design issue....well, what's the point? You could also have a rule where your vehicle must be still for 5 seconds or so.

This is something I would really like to see changed.

It annoys me too, but I just created a macro that exits the vehicle, surveys, and then gets back on. It is not too bad, the only problem is that you have to have surveyed one time with the survey tool first just to select the item to survey for. Other than that it works great.

Good point about the macro.

But I figured if the developers were changing the camp requirements for vehicles, then they can look at this one while they are at it.

Macro for vehicle-surveying for anyone who's interested (I use an alias):

/alias msm /target Speederbike; /dismount; /pause 2; /survey; /pause 1; /mount;

adjust the vehicle name for the type of vehicle you use, and adjust the pauses for how laggy your connection is (more lag requires longer pause).

Then just type /msm whenever you're stopped on your bike and want to survey again for a resource. You can even see the percentages around you if you don't close the survey window from the first time you opened it.

If you're a scout and you like to mask your scent, use this (same, but use /mask instead of /survey), and use different alias name:

/alias mmm /target Speederbike; /dismount; /pause 2; /mask; /pause1; /mount;

then just type /mmm while riding your bike, and you'll mask your scent in about 4 seconds.

This annoys the heck out of me too. But it annoys be due to the whole warping issue. I dismount and sudden;y I have to run 60 meters back to my bike.

What would truely be nice if we could build survey units into the vehicles that enable us to use one survey tool per vehicle, kinda like droids and crafting stations.

... and dont forget about mask scent!

I remember one reply TH answered to someone asking if it was a bug or design feature that a person on a mount could not operate a harvestor. TH said it was by design. Yet we can operate harvestors fine on a vehicle. By design also? If it is, then what is the logic to this design? and with the dismount warming, it aggrevates the situation more.

meant to say: "dismount warping"
