Fix desecrator drift.

[ExquisitExamplE]

I'm a huge desecrator buff, it's the best land vehicle in the game (by a small margin). Several times in critical situations I've hopped out to repair, only to be killed by the still moving dessie. Of course if you come to a complete stop before exiting, you will be fine. This brings up another issue-

Should vehicles have boarding times?

One of my chief tactics is to constantly harass the enemy with either the Dessie,Titan, or Trojan. I can often times suppress an entire team on a pub server just by driving around the enemy base, killing all targets, and repairing as needed.

While I love doing this, I question if it is balanced to be able to hop out and be repairing .5 seconds later, only to be able to instantly re-board the when you are finished. I would liken this to giving the medic/tech infinite medpacks/stroy cells, As there is no limit as to how much the engi may repair. What I would like to see is a boarding animation (See: Planetside.) That would last a different amount of time based on the vehicle. Cyclops being maybe 3.5 seconds, all the way down to the husky and icarus at like .5 seconds.

I realize this probably wont happen due to the way the vehicle graphics were constructed but always something to shoot for. You guys (SD) did a great job with the vehicle cockpits, I love how they all have a different feel to them, Now I want to see myself entering from 1st person perspective rather than being magically teleported inside.

Holy crap what a rant! Really, I just want the dessie inertia fixed so I don't die when I jump out.

I was in my Desecrator, braked to a full stop, a technician came along to repair me, and the next thing I see "magisbladius <red>[Desecrator]</red> Player1." It shocked me even more when I saw the following "Player1 has filed a complaint against you."

Now let us not talk about the Tormentor's tendency to flip over when getting out.

Yeah. Has a damn high center of mass. Stupid insect legs. I wish it'd cling to a hill or something instead of falling over. Would be more in line with its insect styling. :P

bump bump to the yayo.

Desecrator is already the most boring vehicle to drive, it doesn't feel much like a vehicle at all, because there's little inertia compared to, say, Armadillo or Trojan. This is especially visible if you use desecrator strafe (lean). I have special config for desecrator so I can strafe very quickly when needed, and Desecrator feels very boring for me. Cyclops has similar problem, it's slow and very inflexible, unlike Titan. Only Hog is fun to drive, Icarus is noob stuff.
I actually prefer GDF vehicles. Husky takes some skill and experience to drive. You can run people over, detonate mines, plant mines and other explosives on it.

I always used to kill myself with titan/desec. Not anymore cuz I wait a little before I hop out. Or I found out if you hold down "A" while you jump out you wont get ran over.

Weirdest thing happened today. Someone was repairing my titan and I swear I wasn't moving at all. He died while repairing by titan.

[ajbeast]

Even when standing still, if someone is repairing the tank behind it and you would fire he dies ><

Bah! The dessie is the most maneuverable vehicle in the game. If you know how to strafe properly, you can easily take on a titan and win.
