Would Vehicles add to Ground PvP?

I'll be the first to admit that I call it lolGround. None of my toons have any Ground Traits outside of required Ground Traits. I do not have more than the required 66k Skill Points in Ground.

But...

It came up in another thread as a kind of a joke, and it actually got me wondering. Given maps like Nimbus and what could potentially be done...would adding Ground Vehicles add to Ground PvP?

Imagine folks hopping in an Argo buggy, eh?

Heck, imagine taking it a step beyond that - even adding Shuttles or such things - thinking about that Rhi mission/event, eh?

Imagine if that map were a "Ground" PvP map - where you were fighting in the city. Had folks on Foot, in Ground Vehicles, and fighting in the skies with Shuttles/Fighters?

Just a thought...

    It got me thinking back to Tribes back in the day...though, it mainly got me thinking back to trolling in vehicles. But still, it was fun. :)

    Oh man, I would kill real people for a little of that.

    Imagine, every Sunday, the main event for STO. Alliances of Fleets vs Alliances of Fleets in an EPIC BATTLE. Starting in Space, with a lot of Pew. Then, beaming down to the planet, where Space folks go in a Shuttle for Transport and Air Combat and the Ground folks doing their stuff trying to conquer the planet/station.

    It's like Battlefield... but BETTER.

    I call hax... starships have a 10km weapons range... I only have 30 meters on the ground... I demand all space weapons be limited to 30 meters too.

    There might be a way to get some parity. Shuttles wouldn't be able to target individuals, only structures and ground vehicles, maybe some untargeted aoe? People on foot could have micro torpedo launchers to use against shuttles.

    Make an urban map. Put collisions in with buildings and if you want to get close enough in a shuttle to shoot somebody on the ground you have to slow down. Maybe?

    Could the foundry handle something like this?

    I can hear the bloody engine breaking under the weight of these suggestions... Last thing I want is a Ground Vehicle fest that STO slapped Champions with.

    I'd much prefer if the vehicles are just that, vehicles that spawn on the ground where you can board and be a pilot. May even have platform space for players to hop on and fire down from. Vehicles have a passive def bonus against ground weapons and are immune to knockback. You can however be stunned or shaken or ammo-racked by another vehicle.

    And it would also be a good time to implement isomagnetic rocket launchers as the missing 4th class of Assault weapon from the Nemesis movie. These guys have massive aoe hitting up to 10 targets and deal 75% damage of a minigun but do 150% damage against vehicles. :D

    Foundry maps are too small... might get away with it in that desert one... (Nopeda something)

    If they ever got vehicles into STO I imagen it would work like SWG's vehicles....


    Walk up to it. 1 Driver... X number of passengers and away you go... fi the vehicle gets popped... it blows up and becomes useless.

    Frankly, I think the only sound advice that one can give new players at this time is to stay away from PVP in STO.
