[Feedback] Rover decay time

Want some other people's opinions on this. The rover seems to disappear too quickly if left alone in the field. If I drive it to a point, use the inv once and ski into the enemy base, if I dont return fairly shortly it disappears, and I have to wait for it to spawn again.

I've noticed this while using it to practice ski routes starting from a certain point. Obviously if you have multiple people spawning from it, it will be less of an issue, but I was wondering if anyone had experienced frustration with it disappearing unexpectedly.

In my opinion there is not that much need for a Rover to decay, as you can always just spawn to it and blow it up if you want.

Also if someone knows the actual decay time that would be great.

Wow, I just assumed it stayed out until killed like the MPB. Yesterday I took the rover out and was defending it as a spawn point while periodically making a heavy run, and twice I kill a couple people and effectively defend the rover, and I turn around and it's gone. Had me puzzled for quite some time.

Its probably so that it cant be abused if its stolen..
I take the rover somewhere far from their base and flip it over and its back, and just leave it there. They cant spawn at it or get another one until it either
1. Get destroyed
2.They come to get it
3. It decays

Takeing #3 out would mean they would have to go do something about it, and it could be a good bit out of the way, which is annoying to me.

It's around 1:30 - 1:40 mins until the rover disappears.

I think that time is too short however. Your rover is not going to get stolen that often I would imagine, usually they'd just blow it up instead.

Just my 2 cents...
They should make it so a certain team's rover can only spawn that teams players. or they could add a no-ememy forcefield around the driver's seat when no one is in it like they did with the MPB in T2. I don't think it should respawn unless its destroyed, I don't like that very much.

This is pretty lame. I noticed this earlier. The point of the Rover is a mobile spawn point, right? Yet, for some reason, after a minute of being in the field without a driver it vaporizes?
