Bacon Flavored turrets when?

I really doubt youGÇÖll hear anything until a dev blog is posted or a week before 1.5 is to be launched.

I stand corrected :D

Bacon Flavoured turrets will only be released when I have 100,000,000 link karma on Reddit.

As for more details on vehicles, I'll see what I can do. And as always, we're reading your feedback.

CCP Shanghia

Same company different studios, one has near perfected the player feedback process, the other is still rolling on the floor after it fell over its first baby step.

Last time I checked there was a problem with the early prototyping of goals which delayed the post that was supposed to be out for some time. CCP Team Kong is working on it as much as they can to resolve it and get information out to you folks as soon as possible.

Can you give us an idea on how you intend to balance vehicles on this update?
What kind of impact do you want them to have upon reaching the battlefield?
Could we expect changes in overall speed/maneuverability?
Could the turrets (both Large and Small) be subject to tweaks?

Edit: Could passive bonuses be affected for vehicles? Any new ones being planned?


Bonus:

Pilot Suit ETA...
Bacon Flavored turrets when?

You can wrap your lips around my scattered blasters any time, honeybuns.

A high level blog about how CCP views vehicle roles and their missions would go a very long way without having to get into the balance details that can change before the patch is released.

We desperately need a context in which to judge the balance effort.

Are all vehicles direct infantry slayers at heart, or do they have other missions? If the first they are going to be more fragile, and if the later they can be much more survivable without being OP. The LLAV is a perfect example. As a slayer it is OP, but as a repair vehicle it needs that survivability.

I have the impression that CCP never had a coherent vision based on past behavior.

Then there is the matter of rewarding the non slaying missions and making them practical (remote reupping from a dropship anyone?)

WHICH I HOPE INCLUDES CLOAKING FOR DROPSHIPS

Most of us stay tanking not because we like to trash infantry; that's just practice and stress (it's horrifying seeing a doZen swarms coming at you from two-three random, previously disorganised reds) but because we like fighting other vehicles. I get a sense of satisfaction far greater than that of killing infantry even when melting a Sica.

But chasing tanks all match isn't really a possibility (I somehow managed to solo all day yesterday where the only other pilot I saw was a dropshipper) so killing infantry makes my very specialised SP rather more useful.

They gave us a post something like this internally, it didnt go into the nitty gritty of each vehicle, just highlighted their intended direction of vehicles in general and their views on modules & armor vs shield. It made no promises or specific actions.

Overall, it is exactly the kind of post We've been beating CCP over the head woth for 2 years to post. I and the other CPM dudes have urged them to share it asap but.....v0v

Pilot Suit for 1.5 would be convenient. But it seems that vehicle drivers need a **** ton of SP. I mean they need the SP for the whole vehicle tree AND have to skill into a dropsuit when Pilot dropsuits are released.

Assault Fg is OP....

If CCP as a whole was, they wouldn't've decided to give swarms a major buff.

Dust is still missing 2 LAVs, 2Tanks, and 2 dropships. How can they justify a balance pass? Everything will just need a complete overhaul from the ground up in a couple months...
