LAYS DOWN A RACK OF LAMB IN TRIBUTE TO CCP WOLFMAN AND BANANAS FOR THE REST OF TEAM KONG!!!
This is definitely a huge move in the right direction on the future of vehicles! The base is very solid. Shield versus Armor vehicles have a great balance, while still having something thats really unique to them. Team Kong I am very impressed! The only thing I can say, and I am more than certain that the CPU and PG numbers are not finalized, so I will not put much emphasis, but please give CPU and PG a little more looking into. It seems PG runs out very quick compared to CPU when fitting modules. I also noticed that the CPU Upgrade modules have been added but will the PG Upgrade modules be placed on the list as well or released not long after the reset back to basics? I am curious to now how many modules will be fitted on vehicles now and will be in the future to class specific vehicles, like the advanced and marauder class HAV's, Logistics, and Assault variants of Dropships, then of course the LAV equivalent.
To the vehicle community, this is some great changes! Shield and Armor vehicles have their own clear advantages against the other, and you should expect that your vehicles advantages and modules added to your preference are going to play a bigger role than they have. Armor vehicles are going to feel more armored compared to shields, but this doesn't count shield vehicles out. Take notice to how viable they will be for multiple engagements, and the module bonuses they receive that the armored variations don't. We can expect some rough spots when this all changes over because looking at all of this shows you just how broken many important things in vehicles have been for quite some time. As a vehicle user I hope that all vehicle SP will be repsec to players, along with isk to current owned vehicles, and modules that will be removed. Though I am pretty sure this will happen! My last concern is AV weaponry. If vehicles are being reset, it seems only natural for the same with AV weaponry. Will we see the removal of Prototype AV, because I still feel that when you look at the two they are both a piece of one whole and CCP will not be able to balance one without going back to adjust things on the other. |
