Speeders are on a rampage!

 If there is a better option then nerfing pilot health for the speeders or speeder
This is awesome and frustrating at the same time lol.

Sucks when you get run over by them but brings some hilarious moments when you run people over with them.

But when it comes to properly balancing the speeders there is clearly a problem. It's more effective to run people over to get kills with them then it is to use it's blaster fire. Every game where the map has speeders people find it easier to run everyone they can over and it is starting to get obnoxious on the maps that have them.

To me seems like they are a little too strong with health and should be a little bit easier to kill the pilot to help stop speeders from getting to close. They are really suppose to be used for transportation across the map but the maps are so linear and restrictive you can't really use them for that purpose.
health in general then do it but something really needs to be done about this. ( should still have the option to run players over but it needs to be harder)

    We had a speeder sitting in the Stormtrooper spawn area on Endor and he just kept spinning cookies and killing us as we spawned.  I think Heroes should get knocked down by a speeder, but not insta-killed.  Now all the exploiters get the speeders and go to work. It's not fun.

    @Player_6vmh4wht I agree it's complete BS when you get a hero and then get run over by a dang speeder. 

    I think maybe having speeders take damage when they run somone over may also be a good option

    They really need to drastically increase the cost of all vehicles including speeders.

    A heavy with explosive sentry and ion turret can take care of a speeder just fine. Problem is that the speeder costs a lousy 200 BP so they will spawn right back into it all match long because if they run 2 guys over before I take them out then they came out ahead.

    The same is true of LAAT, Heavy Vehicles, spaceships, and medium vehicles. They are all overpowered considering the BP cost and the BP income you can achieve while piloting them.
