The easiest way I've ever won vip was also the most boring-est way possible. I just walked-the-robot with my ecm 3L following it as the lone 'protector' while the 11 others went out to kill the enemy. No screenshots as my pc died and my spare laptop is way too old for mwo use.

VIP stealth armor, faster run speed, and fewer flags would be some welcome changes for me that isn't to drastic

I dont like alot of it.. the big gripes for me are SUPER-ULTRA-FOOKU-ECM nodes, and the VIP pathing...

If they actually made ECM cancelling work on the nodes it wouldnt be too bad, but as it stands now you can stand under that umbrella and have absolutely zero fears from lockon weaponry despite any countermeasures the enemy has...

Then if there was some level of sanity to the VIP's pathing it would be better.. Currently there's no idea where he's gonna go and then the fact that he never stops slows down or make evasive maneuvers... Maybe if they put his intended path on the mini-map and gave him some form of avoidance AI it would be an imporvement.. perhaps he slows down approaching the battle lines, or possibly makes small changes of direction to move towards a move covered path..

Why VIP must be bot anyway? Why not assign VIP status to random Assault player (to heaviest Heavy if Assault isn't present)? At least it would be fun if nothing else. Beats having poorly coded bot anyway.

Just charge the other team if that happens. Brawl to the death sounds great to me. I will vote for escort every time.

Because we would have people run into the other team within 1 minute of the game because they "hate escort".

I'd settle for the defender being able to see the VIP's intended path and destination on the map. That should be really simple to add.

I haven't played Escort for few hundred games now, because it's voted against every time it comes up.

Yes, at some point PGI should get the hint and just remove it.
