this beyond the graphis issue would be VERY easy to add to the game based on existing data in the system thats being currently used

I disagree on this - it's too much complication for the players in terms of who can do what, when, and where.

I agree that the turret structure that already exists should be used, but it should only have soft target weapons - like a humvee. In fact hell, there you go. Make us a humvee. But the squad leader is the only one who can drive, as they are the only ones who can have it in their datapad.

Along similar line you could have a tank-type vehicle, except give it to the commandos.

See i dont think it would be complicated at all, the engineer drives the tank...thats not hard... The commando picks a target from the list and hits fire...thats not hard... the SL tells them what to do, now whether they listen or not is up to them. Complicated, maybe if the SL is a newb respec SL with no clue as to how we work and our role. Now im not saying this should be hard core DO IT MAGGOT, im saying take this general idea and make it better that way we can say HEY corrispondent heres a valid tested item and we want you to take it to the devs for serious consideration. This is our chance to use our voice and put in realistic things that we can actually see comming from the devs....dont ya think?

either way we should build our own tank, no it does not need 50 rockets and a mine sweeper on it (cool but not feasable) lets look at what exists in the game currently as for coding and data strings and see what we can do to build us a tank.

We got a turret as KyeAshke pointed out so lets build on that...some one said the Lars speeder with a gun...theres another option, dump that droid looking motor out the body and slam a turret there....now your starting to see a tank shape up...run with it guys...your squad leaders LOL!

Also it would have a horn.

No on the guns, but they want to know if the horn should play "Dixie" or "La Cucaracha."

What was the sound that the General Lee made?

having a vehicle that requires multiple professions sounds too overwhelming to be feasible to me.

i wouldlike to see a vehicle that is MSL certed that holds 8 people, the full group, and has one or two turrets mounted to it. not something as powerful as the factional turrets but yet controlled in a similar fashion.

in fact, i'll evenbe happy and content with a MSL vehicle that holds 8 WITOUTH turrets at this point!!

I agree. I don't know why they made the maximum vehicle capacity 6, as a squad is 8.

I also agree that having multiple professions used to drive the thing is to complicated - how often do you find an artisan out in the field unless they are BE?

A modified V-35 would be a good idea, and easily done

If this idea is still alive and well...

I think a perfect Squad Leader vehicle would be an 8 player Clone Wars Republic Attack Gunship.

The MSL would pilot the RAG and the 7 passengers would stand in the crew compartment. The crew compartment would remain open, so the crew could look outside the RAG as it passes over the terrain.

It would take-off and land from 3' from the ground, and elevate to 20'-30' off the ground when in flight. It would have to be relatively fast, faster than all current multi-player ground vessels or be able to fly over the hills and valleys that slow regular ground vessels.

It could be a schematic that would have to be crafted, as well as some color schemes and paint decals could be applied to the body. Any thoughts anyone?

Tyy -

That would be cool.

I'd like a multy passenger vehicle that would keep my noobs a little safer. It's realy embarressing for them when they die sitting down when we're just crusing through the bush.

Despite having a slight aversion against having too many clone warsrelics in the game... i would looove this!

For APCs for either faction, they'd need to be like POB ships. I think they should add something along these lines or something similar for GCW usage and the like. While I like the idea of SL as vehicle commander, I don't know that they'd add something that specific to the game. Though we have seen them add skill requirements to items, so I would assume it's possible to apply to a vehicle, I'm just not sure how they'd go about limiting the APC deed's availability to non-SL characters.

While a SL-only vehicle, at least in theory, might be considered and come into the game, i am rather positive that it would have to be unarmed.

There currently is no vehicle combat, and there are not the slightest indication that there ever will be. And even if there would be, it definitely would not be gated to the SLs... either armed vehicles for all, or for nobody.

Agree with Sylow. I doubt the Vehical would be for anything expect transportation.

BUT... Multiplayer ships came out a long time ago and everyone was excited for them and cheered and yet you never saw them used.

Not many like to travel "trapped" like that. If it does come out. You'll use it for a week, then everyone will pull their speeders again.

People used the multiplayer ships, but quickly realized it just wasn't effective so they got mothballed. You needed at least 3 people, and those same 3 people in single-person fighters were more effective in single person fighters. This is why Publish 24 is also the POB-Revamp, with multiplayer ships getting a shot in the arm same as SL.

The word "never" is wrong. My YT-1300 already was used to blast the vette, it was used to assist on some missions, my ARC-170 (all turrets in use) also was already along to assist with the vette and even got a PvP kill in the run of the mission.

Using them (mostly the YT-1300 and Krayt, the rear firing turrets are not much fun for most gunners) is a lot of fun, but unfortunately seperate single fighters are way more effective, that's the actual reason why you see them rarely... hope the new gear for them fixes that.
