1. Red pings should be visible to everyone
2. People should be rewarded for placing red pings
3. More and better social commands
4. Better locations for supply stations
5. Airdrop for supply stations
6. Change teams during pre-round
7. Heavy bombers
8. More transport seats for transport vehicles
9. Nerf the armor of transport vehicles

1. 
2. Spot bonuses are a thing. What better rewards were you thinking?
3. Can you give examples of “more” and “better” “social commands”?
4. What’s wrong with them, can you give examples of better locations and explain why those would be better?
5. 
6. 
7. You don’t think the bombers we have now are heavy enough? 😮
8. Or more transport vehicles perhaps.
9. They seem sufficiently squicky to me.

1. I agree, but only if they’re in the immediate area.
2. You already are.
3. Do you have any examples? I feel that they’re pretty good right now.
4. Any examples? I’ve done fine with the current locations.
5. Elaborate? Do you mean the ability for Squads to use the points to call in a Supply Station?
6. I agree.
7. I disagree. I believe the current bombers are sufficient.
8. There should be dedicated transport trucks for us to use instead of adding more seats to existing transports.
9. It should stay the same but maybe remove glancing blows from transports?

You said some stations are out of bounds, but aren’t those ones in the enemy’s main base? You shouldn’t be allowed there anyway.

1. Agreed.
2. We already are.
3. To some degree I agree, as thinks like “need backup” could be helpful, but on the other hand I can’t necessarily see random players paying attention to those.
4. The Breakthrough maps which have supply stations which are not readily available, such as the third sector on Twisted Steel, are most likely a design choice. A **bad** one. This has been reported to Dice sooooo many times and they’ve done nothing, so we have to assume that they want it to be this way. Resupply stations for infantry is not a problem as there are an abundance of them on most maps.
5. I’m assuming you mean for tanks and if that is the case then I’d agree.
6. Get and Xbox (/s).
7. No thanks. That flying coffin can stay in BF1.
8. Sure.
9. I believe that would discourage people from using them.

1. Manual red pings by pressing RB/R1 (spot button)
