Here's my initial takes on this,
- Dropships are still getting treated like light aircrafts when they are medium aircrafts. When comparing the new base HP, the LIGHT assault vehicle still has more base HP than the MEDIUM aircraft. I understand that the dropships have more modules and CPU/PG, but the base stats should also be reflective of what they are.
- There are way too many skills that do nothing but unlock stuff. I thought we made it clear we do not want that.
- Why are all racial vehicles being unlocked with the same skill? I mean, I'm not necessarily for or against it, but there needs to be consistency. If you are going to do it this way, then apply the same concept to dropsuits. If you will not, then make each race's vehicle it's own skill. Again, consistency is key.
- Small rail turrets still appear to be useless, especially when say a small missile turret does more damage with faster rate of fire and more splash radius.
- I understand the desire to go back to the basics, but you should really reconsider keeping the assault dropships in. These are more than just a subset of dropships, they are essentially their own vehicle class all together, a quasi fighter if you will. They have become far too fundamental to keep out even if just temporarily, and keeping them in will be crucial for gathering data on vehicle-to-vehicle combat balance.
Other than that, things are looking mostly good! |

Why it should be a full respec and not a partial one,

I would say its fair to give all vehicle related skills a refund on their SP spent. No points need to be given back on dropsuit skills. Could also do a petition system again...but honestly, it should be just an across the board wipe for vehicle related skills.
What about the fact that they are adding more SP sinks into vehicles, so vehicle pilots who spent points on dropsuits because they had nothing else to but would of otherwise spent them on these new vehicle skill had they known? |

I understand this, but you really should reconsider removing the assault dropship from this initial re-balancing stage. It is much, much, much more than just a some variant of a base variant. |
