Holy shitfuck that brings me back to the arguments in my OP detailing why this is not a viable solution!
I think you are making several large mistakes with the assumptions in your original post.
Just because you have an LAV, does not mean you have to recall it as soon as you step out. If the enemy really wants to waste their time shooting a MLT lav, that is a bonus, because they are not shooting at your fatsuit.
You also do not need to recall in order to hack a point. The LAV will generally survive long enough for you to get back to it as long as you don't park it out in the open.
If you can't afford 24k SP for the LAV, and 20k a match to buy one, then you are doing something wrong, and deserve to get shat on.
If you refuse to spec into an LAV because you used to have one, you are even more dense than the OP suggests.
Reading the points in your OP, you seem to want these things addressed:
1. Blues taking your LAV. Vehicle locks are coming, stop crying fatty.
2. LAV getting destroyed by the enemy. Either build a better LAV, or kill the enemy faster.
3. LAV self destruct. Don't be away from it for more than a minute.
4. Enemy hacking your LAV. Either kill him, or don't park so close to him.
Bottom line:
Your crappy tactics cost you to lose lots of crappy LAVs. Get better at protecting your investment and maybe then you would see the value in speccing into an LAV.
There should be no free vehicles in the game. |

1. If I did get an LAV, and pull up to anywhere, I would have the foresight to not park and try to recall it where I could potentially be easily taken out. That said, Heavies are so easy to sneak up on it isn't funny, so this would not necessarily prevent it.
I also never said anything about using a Proto Suit. Only tryhard pubstompers do this in pubs. Your corp isn't one of these is it? *cough*
2. Why would you not try to avoid a potential unnecessary loss? To me that is simply stupid. For Shame!
3. Yep
4. Please, quote me where I said anything about being solo. I love how you just assume this. I never go solo in any match.
5. See 4 as an example.
If you have no problems with BPO modules at MLT Grade, what is wrong with MLT grade BPO LAVs?
You can't have your no risk rewards while preaching risk vs reward. Either absolutely no BPOs whatsoever, or allow BPOs of anything up to standard.
Get off your high horse. I don't think you can see the forest for all the trees from up there.
1. Since you never run solo, and seemingly need to save money for something, why not have someone watch your back when you recall your ride after everyone is dead?
Yes, I run proto all day everyday. But since I don't die too much, I can afford to throw LAVs around all day for fun. You should try it sometime, unless you are too busy saving for what exactly? Hell if you are running standard or advanced heavy suits, you should be able to afford to never walk anywhere, without concern. If you are strapped for ISK running advanced gear, you have much bigger concerns than the LAV situation.
2) What marks something as an unnecessary loss? If I keep my suit alive, worth it. If I get to where I am going to, worth it. If it serves as a distraction for the tank I am hunting, worth it.
I view the saga as a 20k taxi. As long as I get to my destination, I got my value out of it. I don't get upset about 20k ISK. That is like getting mad when you lose a standard suit, just seems silly.
4. Crashing a LAV of three into a full squad is no smarter, you just gave the enemy team at least 200 WP, if not more. 3 on 6 is a poor choice of engagement, 3 on 6 where you won't be able to fire for the first .3 of a second, might get pushed around a bit, and cannot be assured of what direction or position you will be in is even worse choice for how to kick stuff off. Unless you are trying to murder cab a couple to start off with, in which case your little cough cough about me rocking proto is out of place.
You talk about not running solo, then how about your squaddies do their jobs. It is plainly their fault that your LAV gets jacked, blapped or scrapped.
As to the BPO issue, I think there needs to be an ISK cost for every chassis on the field, and the same should apply for weaponry. BPO suits, guns, and vehicles should all be removed. The reason why I say modules can have MLT BPO's is that if you want to gimp out your suit or vehicle to save ISK, go right ahead, at least you paid for the basic components.
