first off, if you're buying free vehicles for the team, please broadcast it. i don't know how many times i'm running around the base and there's an empty vehicle just sitting there. it's a real waste of time for those of us that don't steal to have to wait and see if someone's coming to get it. with regards to actual theft of your vehicle, and you know it was grand theft, then you can broadcast to the enemy what vehicle he's in and ask them to eliminate the b*stard. i'm sure the guys on the other side will feel the same as you about thieves and look for him....

Alas, I have been trying to work a pathetic bind out of the Renegade code, but nothing I have tried appears to be accepted by the games configuration. Oh well, I'l get it some day.
Well, when you get it, Please spread the joy. I really would love to see this feature. Seems like every time I stop to type "here come the flame tanks...." it's either WAAAAY to late, or I've been offed in the process. [ April 04, 2002: Message edited by: Particle Noun ]

I broadcast that all the time to my team -- but they still insist on taking my base defense tank. But once i and the other defenders stop a couple rushes w/ help from the BD tanks - they get the idea.... (i really hate the bouncing Hotwire -- hard to hit.)

well d@mn, i hope i haven't stolen somebody's BD tank! now i feel guilty. i alway look at the messages after i take a vehicle that's empty, and listen for the "get out of the vehicle" message, to see if anyone is objecting. thus far, none have.

I have NEVER had a tank I just bought stolen from me. I've seen five or six people try to steal the tank, but it wouldn't let them in. I hardly ever drive now, I spend most of my time repairing or sniping - I buy tanks for my team and let them know about the free tanks, however I have to enter the tank then exit before they can take it. I know I'm not the only person to have noticed this.

What an revolutionary idea... I bet it would even have a cool sounding name. Oh, I got it... "Keys"!!!

They need to make it so that the only way to be dropped from the game is by vote, the host should have no control. I was in a game and the host would wait for someone to buy a tank, wait for them to get in it, then he would get in too, and drop the other player, theyrebye giving him a free tank. I saw another game where the host dropped all of the opposing team except one player so he could kill them easier. People like that should be killed.
