Allow us to lock out sunderer guns from pubs

Rage thread.

Tired of ******** pubs sitting there shooting the liberator that is 1000m away thinking they are going to shoot it down or something all while giving away my position to EVERY ******* LIB/MOSQ/REAV in the area causing them to swarm me.

I'm fine driving them around as long as they aren't in the guns.

People attracting attention to a sundy deserve to be kicked, I wish I could boot / lock out certain people all the time!

Yes, vehicles need 3 separate access rights like in PS1.
One access right for the driver seat.
One access right for the guns.
One access right for the passengers.

Page down, cllick the X next to their name; run them over for good measure.

Planetside 2: Less is More

Are you serious? You don't know how to lock or boot people from your sunderer? It's under the "General" tab...it's called "vehicle management". You're welcome.

You can...I just explained above.

Deploy.
Proceed to gain 2 valuable exp. points for his respawn.
Repeat.

I am missing that, very much.

Great, you mentioned the game that mussent be named.

Now the Devs will ignore this thread.

I believe the point the OP was making is that you don't have the ability to lock out JUST the guns.

You only have the option to open all seats (including guns), lock seats to just platoon/squad, or lock the Sunderer completely. The request is to allow the Sunderer owner to open up the passenger seats to anyone who needs a ride, but now allow them access to the guns.

I agree with this request. I can't count the number of times a bored/unskilled passenger grabbed the guns and started shooting at anything in the area, giving away our position, and getting everyone killed. Lately, I've added this setting to my "list of things you do" when the Sunderer rolls off the pad:

Shut off lights...check

Lock the Sundi to "Squad/Platoon Only"....check

Try not to run over wandering idiots in the road.....check...kinda

The unfortunate part of this is that I see lots of players trying to make their way to the next fight and not getting a ride. Most Sunderer drivers have experienced enough pain from this issue to just lock the bus and let the pubs walk. I'd like to give them a ride too; more peeps in the bus = better odds of success. But, like other drivers, I just can't take the chance that a simple act of courtesy will get us all killed in a blazing ball of flames.

Shut the lights off near a combat zone. Lots of people in friendly territory will now notice there's a bus on the road.

The lights are on by default for a purpose- the vehicle is spawned in friendly territory and should be visible.


Either that or just buy a horn.

Squad only = pgdown no pub issue

But it is helpful to drive pubs around and I wish to continue doing that.

My lights remain off, they are like rocket magnets.

If SoE give me a basic horn I may cut down on fatal road accidents, ball's in their court but if they think I will pay a higher price than an actual horn to cut down the amount of random people who die splattered on the front of my Sundy then they are in for a surprise.

I have yet to be weapon locked, so I'll continue as I am until SoE gives me a basic horn.
