Well I have an idea. Mabye have the door be destructable? If a player doesn't open it when he's on the ground just to keep people out, blow it up. Have it respawn later.

It would make it more realistic if the ramp was player controlled this way the landing would not also come down in the middle of space. If it can be down make the player who is controlling the door standing near it while he operates. If he doesn't open it, knife him as a traitor.

I think they are talking about the pilot. But I think it would depend on each vehicle. The ramps being player controlled is cool but again you can get trapped by smacktards. Then again no one wants a ramp to open up while they fly through space slowly.

GC originally did have player controlled ramps on the Falcon, but was removed in later patches because smacktards would close the ramp and never open it, trapping everyone inside.

Actually, I liked the ramp connected to the landing gear because if the pilot flew really slow you could shoot out the door and kill a few guys that the quad blasters couldn't reach.

EDIT: Looking at the picture of the endor bunker I have a question. Where is the contol panel where Han and Leia sat defending?

I would love to see that my self, and I'm in favor of having them player controlled as well.

I'd really like to see some opening door/ramps on the vehicles, like doors in the AT AT's belly we can zip line out of, or a neat boarding ramp for the lambas.

It's kind of a moot point as far as landing gear for Cockpits goes. With 2142 Vehicles can have animation sets, so you can do a whole bunch of cool looking animations triggered in your own time. Or so it would seem so far at least.

I think this is how it works:
Player presses "e"
- Cockpit closes
Player lifts of ground (speed increases, height increases)
- Landing gear retracts

Player lands (slows down, height decreses)
- Landing gear retract
Player presses "e"
-canopy opens

YOU'RE RIGHT. I forgot they use those keys, I even do some times. Anyway, perhaps another key.

Re: The New Update.

Some people STILL use the arrow keys instead of their mouse or joystick... I think it is easier to pull up with the arrow keys. But yea it would be nice to be able to control the canopy.
