If you can bail from a fighter then a parachute must exist??!!??

Hopefully not.

1. This is Star Wars, and only the Adumarians had parachutes.
2. They're detrimental to gameplay (bailing and opening them 1 meter over the ground, jumping out over enemy main, etc.)
3. Go down with your ship, brave man!11

Hmm... the kit idea sounds great, but possible troubles. What if pilots land their craft, let it get destroyed, then don't die for a long time (like fly a TIE fighter, land back at base and take an AT-AT)?

Then too bad for him. You can't bail from fighters anyway, though this is a space feature and may change for ground maps seeing ejecting over a planet won't have you fall for 5-10 minutes.

But if the pilot has a usable weapon and can exit the craft, you'll have a certain amount of people use fighters as personal transports, flying them to an enemy base for then to land there and step out of the fighter, leaving it to be stolen or destroyed.

So yes, give us pilot kits.

Plus, pilots that miss the first kit wave can still wait for the current pilots to die with their ships.

Yup, and some do. Tough luck for them.

The team that commits more troops to the fight will win, period.

Nope.

The only way to stop people from camping out waiting for their vehicles is A. Provide more vehicles than players, which would shortchange infantry attacks, or B. Eliminate vehicles altogether, which defeats the purpose of maps like Hoth or others.

There'll always be camping and TKing for fighters. Pilot kits alleviate the problem, though.

Let the retards have their day and learn from constantly losing battles for their team.

to repair you could land on a platform. why would you land and jump in a tank. that's just leaving a needed vehicle in the middle of nowhere. maybe it should be destroyed after leaving them for a period of time that's much shorter then usual.

Um, perhaps if you're damaged and you want to land and repair? Or you want to land and jump in a tank?

why. Its combined arms, not im going to fly around then jump out and get in a tank, then jump out and get killed.

Pilot kits are teh win. Keep them as they are with only a gun and repair thing. But things like tanks and other stuff should be free for anybody.
