Re: AT-ST is it should be this way?

Anti Base Camp Code could be useful for a flag-by-flag gamemode if the ABC Zone is shut on / off when a base becomes uncapable.
When now players must stay back to defend a uncapable base against baserapers more players are at the frontline, focusing the action to a few points.

Re: AT-ST is it should be this way?

When I ever leave a walker and its in the critical state, I put a few bolts into its weak point and destroy it.   If I can't use it, nobody can.

Re: AT-ST is it should be this way?

Twigs and Ty summed it up nicely: Never get out of a damaged vehicle in a combat situation. If you have to get out and can't repair it, make sure to destroy it so the enemy can't capture it. If everyone did this, and ABC was implemented, vehicle capture would become a huge challenge - as it should be.

ESPECIALLY the T1-B.  I hate when I have to go up against one just because an ally handed it off right to them...

Re: AT-ST is it should be this way?

DEMPs, especially, are great at making people bail from their tanks. When your tank is immobile and you can't traverse your turret to take down the approaching infantry, and you know that they've got DetPacks they're about to plaster unto your hull, it's very easy to panic and jump out to avoid death, but 50% of the time, if not more, this'll lead to the enemy dropping their DetPack plans and stealing your tank instead. Result: You still die, but the enemy also takes your tank.

Taking the Opposing faction's vehicles is n00bish and or lame? I wouldn't say that too loud...

It's not wise to upset a Wookie.

I must've missed the ROTJ scene where Han and Chewie strolled into the Imperial vehicle pool and stole a parked walker. Was it in the Original Edition? I only saw the Special Edition, in which they stole a walker in combat, so that'd explain it.

Chewie hijacked a fully crewed walker by force and proceeded to pilot/command it under a crew of ewoks. If there had been a walker just sitting in an Imperial Vehicle pool, and the Imperials were running around chasing ewoks, seems to me Han might have grabbed one too.
Don't tell me you doubt Han's ability to gank a tank?
Besides- once Rebel commandos clear a bunch of Imperials out of their outpost and find a shiny Firehawk/ ATST/ speederbike.

Plus there's kinda a lot of precedent to this- Kyle Katarn nicked a walker from its launch bay in JKII.
Anakin merely sits in an unmanned fighter and hits a key 'on accident' and it starts to fly. (ep I)
Anakin grabs a random speeder to chase Obi and Zam. (epII)

And stealing the enemies stuff is half the fun of any battlefield game

Parachuting from tall buildings and being able to flag hop are also part of the "fun" of the BF series games. Never saw anyone complain when they took those out.

never ever?

Mos Espa is perfectly balanced. And if you want walkers, steal one in combat. Lots of people carelessly leave them behind or jump out of them in combat areas.

Perfect balance has been achieved. You heard it here first.
