i agree, people should not steal their teammates tanks, however, don't you think that there would really be a need for the service bay? the only use for it would be to repair vehicles that are being attacked on the base and by that time you know your in trouble. It seems to me it would be a waste of time to leave while in the middle of battle go all the way back to the base, to find two others waiting to repair, while all along you could take the risk, hop out and repair your own tank to save you some time and probably money since repair bays would cost credits or should at least. I think there should perhaps be a ladder point penalty if someone hops in a vehicle they did not purchase or a toggle to "release" the vehicle...i'm not talking lock and unlock that would be unfair to the enemy who should have a legit shot at stealing vehicles.

Yes, fortunatly only one time has someone tried to take mine, and he got out when I told em to. I think at the least that you should be the only person who can get into a vehicle you buy until you get in it. That way people can't just sit at the airfield and stuff to take your tank.
And theres nothing better than the satisfying boink sound you get from a Black Hand sneaking behind a Mammoth, taking it over, and running over the former owner.

i had major issues with ppl taking my tanks in the demo, mainly cuz they were total newbs. but now with the real game its not that big of a problem. Whenever someone takes one of my tanks i just shot at them with my pistol and they get the idea and jump out. But the "Get out of the vehicle" voice command seems to work just as well. sometimes if i am Hotwire/technician and have amasses like 4k while setting mines everywhere and have no intention of stopping i will make some tanks and tell everyone they are free to take them, always seems to make thier days.

I agree that this is a big problem. Having keys is not the best idea, cause I find it fun stealing enemy tanks when they build them. There really is no good way to make it so people can't steal tanks.

I was under the impression that there already was a lock on ur vehicles when you first buy them. I dunno if it's different in the real game, but in the demo I witness many newbies standing around the factory/airstrip trying franticly to steal other ppls vehicles, and they can never get in.
Also, I personally am against the repair bay idea. It would cause alot less teamwork in this mainly teamwork oriented game. Additionly, it lends itself to certain cheap tactics such as sitting on the repair bay while driving off enemy forces.
I like the lock vehicle against teammates idea alot, mainly because I get my vehicle stolen quite often by my stupid newbie teammates.[ March 05, 2002: Message edited by: Konfuzed ]

They put in a command for people to change Driver/Fire Control. They could give another command for people to lock vehicle against allies (30 seconds) or not to lock the vehicle.

I just get annoyed when I'm in a vehicle, jump out to save a friendly building, and while I'm battling to keep the building alive some ******* steals my tank... at any other time I can handle it, but when I have to toss up between losing my tank and my team losing a building ......... It just ****es me off when someone who has no idea how to use the vehicle effectively steals a vehicle I could have used well.

Isn't there a time period when only you can get the tank you paid for? When a guy gets in a tank don't asume the worst. I was at our base, as engineer driving tank, got back to heal, hopped out, healed and a guy hopped in, as I finished heal he hopped out. Very smart move - made sure no enemy could steal (base was pretty secure but hey, you never know). So if a guy hops in, give him a chance before concluding he is stealing.

I usually say "Get out of my X, (name)" Then when I see them ignore me and drive off and get my vehicle killed (they don't care because they didn't have to pay for it), I get really p1ssed.

Arg! I just finished a small game (6x6) and it was 2 on 3. I was on NOD and only had 1 other guy on my team. He was a useless twit who stole 5 out of my 6 flame tanks I built  ...He would just wait at the airstrip, hop in and it would blow up a minute or 2 later....this ****es me off so much and there is ALWAYS someone like this in EVERY game! There should be a kick button that the host can use or something to that extent

there is one time i wouldn't mind a team mate "stealing" my vehicle. that's if it's danger of being stolen by the enemy. many times i've joined a game where the enemy is already infiltrating your base and i could see where they might wait for a vehicle to arrive and steal it. also i think it's important to understand many that take a vehicle may be new to the game and don't yet understand how it works. and there really hasn't been that many times somebody took my vehicle, but it is frustrating none the less when it happens

I also hate when someone roars off with my spanking new tank -- then they come back looking for more. I think they should add code that gives the original owner 3/4 of points earned for your tank if someone on your team uses it. Of course if someone on the other team steals it -- oh well ....
True story --- was playing NOD -- a GDI humvee comes into the base - out hops the GDI engie -- he runs into the building (which was blown all ready) -- i hop into his humvee and when he comes out -- he is p.o. that I took his car!!!!
Boink on him........

People stealing my tanks hos pretty much ruined this came for me. Ive yet to have a game where I didn't have a flame tank or a hummer stolen. There should definitely be some sort of code to prevent allies from stealing vehicles. Right now I have to find some corner of the base to repair a vehicle, because it WILL get stolen if anyone sees it empty. The biggest problem I have is that people just ignore me when I ask them to return my tank. The only time anyone who stole a vehicle from me ever responded to me was one guy who said "Well why did you get out, then?!"(in a much more vulgar way). Apparently he didnt notice that I was repairing it, and that the hummer had 10 health when he stole it. I also hate how people just go on suicide missions after they steal my vehicles. </rant>

All Devinoch's answer has been on this is "You don't get points for repairing empty vehicles. Don't get out of your vehicle, ever. Find someone to repair it." At first I didn't much like that answer. Thought it sucked. But the he11 with it. If my base is on fire, c4'd and crawling with enemies and I'm in a tank, FU(K THE BASE. I'll take Devinoch's advice and say screw the base, someone repair me! Screw the base, I couldn't care less. (we'll see how far that goes).. [ March 06, 2002: Message edited by: troyenaGer[WOO] ]

My solution has been this so far for public games: Join a game and ask 3 times if anyone is on Roger Wilco / other voice comms. If no-one answers I tend to leave. Join the voice channel if there is one. Ask if anyone wants to be my partner. Meet my partner in the AirStrip/Factory You decide between you who will be an engy/tech/hotwire and one of you buys a vehcile (I tend to buy a buggy/HumV first to test the partners reliability - plus i like humVs ) One goes gunner, the other dirver. If you need repairs the guner jumps out and starts repairing. (if the driver jumps out you the vehicle can still be stolen). You take it turns to buy vehicles and sometimes tame it in turns to be engy/armed infantry. This overall solves the problems with theft, increases the availability of repairs, means that of your vehicle is destroyed the soldier kills enemys and the engy repairs the soldier while you run back to base (increasing survival chances), increases gunning efficieny while moving..blah blah blah. I could go on but I'm getting bored. But I still want a repair bay.
