Throwing 3x militia resistance amplifiers (BPO means entire thing remains free) gives something like 1600 effective (1200 base) shield HP on top of 825 lolarmor with a shield recharge rate of 32 / second (~40 effective / second).
Not "tanky" by any means, but it regularly stands up to advanced swarms. Militias barely take it down to half shields. If nothing else it can take one hit of just about "anything" and give me a chance to jump out. AV nades being the only thing that really comes in so fast I can't get out of the way in time, but that's cuz i'm a noob driver. I have proto swarms and believe me.... onikuma / balochs are OHKO but Sagas usually take 2x. It makes a difference.
I very very rarely murder taxi (think it's boring and cheap) but I just did this afternoon due to like 4x red LAVs around one objective with nothing but mass drivers everywhere because we had 4/5 objectives. Was quite cathartic. Sort of hate myself for it though, so back to grinding in a bpo suit. |

I have the Blood Raider BPO, and it can be destroyed very easily, I mean not as easily as the MLT's.
The Blood Raiders/Watch Saga's you encountered are just very well equipped or you lack any AV Gear.
Plus if you don't think the removal of Free BPO's has reduced the frequency of Murder Taxi's your must be blind. Free murder taxis weren't a problem because AVers destroyed them easily And now AVers get to destroy something people spent money on, not a massive deal Not as simple as that. Now, they're much harder to destroy, and not as common, so AVers are putting a lot of ISK and effort into getting a measly 40 WP, since drivers almost always bail anyway.
Agree that with the removal of FREE starter LAVs, the rewards for destruction of LAVs should be slightly increased. I think 60-75 is appropriate considering tankier LAVs require more time to take out. |
