Support class should be able to build a "vehicle resupply/repair" station

No one likes driving out of combat and missing all the fun, and this could be a good buff to the lengthy vehicle downtimes. Now this by itself could easily influence a vehicle meta, so this should include on top of the resupply delay; the limitations of either only being able to do this at capture points akin to BF, or by only being able to build it within the vicinity of a supply drop.

hmm, I can see also doing a "can explode when destroyed by explosives"

It could do a lot of structure damage, possibly enough to instantly collapse any building. Would be another fun interaction for demo lovers

[boreal dock]

Good idea. They should be able to build a forward operating base for vehicles too with all their buildables so they are safe while they are resupplying. Make it like the timed repair box on Isles.

i can see myself building FoB and defending it with all my might

There is no such thing like vehicle meta ffs. They are too limited in avalibity to be meta.
And even then, they are supposed to be stong, they are fucking Power Multipliers for fuck sake

Otherwise very good suggestion

[floral herald]

That's flawed idea. Timed repair stations have global cooldown, not per player. And any vehicle near, even at full ammo/healty triggers it. So you basically always wait on cooldown

Haven't read all th comments yet, but even better... make it a SL-only thing!

Would make sense to me for the person in charge to build that big thing, and have it cost a LOT of points. (it should also be proportionally VERY hard to destroy... not like a respawn beacon...)

Always love anything that could help our very-sparse, fairly-squishy vehicles thrive a tad more, so very good suggestion, +1! 👍

I was also thinking alternatively, there could be different supply drops that would cost a variety of points depending on their job. I.E make a supply drop that resupplies Armor and Gadgets like the Drone or RPGs that would cost maybe 400 points, and a supply drop that is meant for vehicles and costs maybe 800 points and has to be built up to use?

Very very bad idea for tank, BTR going up a mountain and sniping the whole game
Thats exactly why Oki forces people to go back into the spawn.

[haughty fox]

could restrict these to capture points

[turbid moat]

Absolutely not. Half the community can’t even place relay towers or properly issue orders as SL as it is

[somber patrol]

I do think having a limited ammo supply could be something on capture point but thats all not unlimited stuff
