I spent some time yesterday evening rolling around in a Harvester and enjoyed it. Sorry but it's far too difficult to board a Harvester. Waiting for the platform to drop, or not drop while the Harvester is moving is frustrating, more so if your under fire or need to quickly de-bug anything hitching a ride. Can the Harvester stop when your trying to board?
The turning circle and speed is all good. The mining part when you rotate the digger is all good and I discovered if under attack you can activate the digger to mow down your enemies. Awesome!

agreed - outside of telling the comd to stop the harvester, they are almost impossible to get onto. not to mention that if it is on a slight angle the stairs are made of ice and you slip off to the left or right and the ladder retracts forcing you to lower it all over again. perhaps claim unit for a harvester only works if you are standing directly under it - the commander gets a prompt that a player wants to board the harvester (and the icons on the side tell you who is driving it) and it immediately stops what it is doing and lowers its ladder once the commander approves it - with a auto cool down of 30 seconds where its AI kicks back in again and it drives off.
