The Scorpion adds a lot to combat zones. Elite is starting to feel like the best parts of a battlefield game: the ability to be on foot, in a vehicle, or up in the air, supporting infantry and vehicles.
Some of the improvements I'd like to see:
Taking a ground combat mission should leave a visual marker on your ship HUD about what planet/combat area you should fly to if not taking a drop ship.
Scorpions should either be assigned to teams, deployable from a drop ship, or easily accessible from your own ship in combat areas.
Enemy AI should be able to spawn in and use SRVs on the battlefield.
Combat areas should have varying amounts of damage and be widened a bit further for vehicles.
A better third person view for the Scorpion would make it easier to drive in enclosed spaces.
Ships, SRVs, and infantry should all have a system to counter each other. EMPs, Anti-Air weapons, counter SRV mines/rockets/satchel charges.
Flag Objectives should be on the HUD for SRVs and pilots in ships.
Possible fighter integration/landing capabilities?
What would you guys like to see?
