Out of curiosity, how many of you miss turret Prof? Would any of you accept having turret prof back but the turret skills don't increase the damage but effect other things, like Missle turrets increasing AoE, and Hybrid turrets have a faster cooldown or slower heat up?

I would prefer to keep it as it is today, no more passive buffs, it is odd that raising a skill will increase the AoE blast of a missile. Better keep it as weapon upgrade modules that you unlock and can install on the tank. Or we risc having militia tanks being too powerfull when used by skilles tankers. Like we have with infantry, there is a huge difference between the new player in militia gear compared to the skilled player in milita gear. Keep the gap low between new and old players with the only difference being the possibility to deploy more expensive gear with the risc of loosing more isk.

Hmmm that is a fair point

I voted on cutting proficiency skill to extend time of HAV vs. HAV battle - and it brought the expected results - now we have more time to turn modules on while fighting with each others. Previously whoever wanted to turn on any module in middle of engagement was already on losing side - it was all about 'attack from surprise, or die trying to turn on tanking stuff'.
So I think that HAV vs. HAV engagement are more entertaining now, and we even have time to bring another HAV to reinforce us if he is not to far away. At the other hand HAV vs. AV Infantry seems to be a little broke because of damage registration I doubt that 1.4 will clarify do we need our old dmg back(against infantry) because of SL boost there will not be much Blasters on field.

Sooner or later we will get proficiency skill back and Tech 2 Turrets that specialize in certain thing, that you mention it.

I would like turret skills broken down into groups like ROF, cool down and damage output. We need more SP sinks to give more roles to specialize in. Turret skills would be a great way to give new players easier SP. After a few million points it isn't hard to get by so giving players a way to increase SP gains would be good.

Investing the first million in vehicle weapons would go a long way for new players and if there was multiple skills new blood could be killers day one and not have to worry about stater gear and pub stomps as much.
