Where are logi and assault dropships? I take it we will be getting an asset refund for this if youre removing our vehicles for beta testing?

The Logistics and Assault Dropships are going to be taken out temporarily, but they should be returning in the future. As was said in the first post, we want to go back to basics and get the core interactions working first. Then we can look at branching back out once we have a solid foundation.

Limiting the amount of slots makes me a bit sad and worried that the amount of "different" HAVs we will see on the battlefield will decrease due to customization limits.

This is terrible all of it. Its SOOO BAD are you kidding me ccp?
Throw all this garbage away, yes its all garbage. Throw it away and simply buff the tanks now. You guys preached how your gonna change tanking blah blah blah this is your plan? This is terrible!!! I cant even stop saying how terrible this 0_0. Tanking is all about how long you can stay in the action. Neither a shield tank or armor will be able to "stay in the action" at all. One forge shot and ill be running. I wont have the module slots to properly fit the tank. Nor will i be able to get diversity without completely eliminating a strong point. You guys are pathetic. Nobody ask for the "gameplay to get reinvented". We wanted a vehicle buff thats it lol. All you had to do was bump up a few numbers and everything would have been fine. Shield tanking is a joke all that pg for a 1000 rep xD thats not even a milta armor rep now. Then on the other end for madrugars you plan on giving us passive reps. Um maybe if the plan was to have us redline sniping. Throw this garbage out and buff what we have. This **** would take so long for you guys to fix it would be sickening.

Crunching the numbers with the new modules and such, removing both small turrets is going to sacrifice more DPS then you will ever gain from EHP, putting you at an advantage against infantry but at a noticeable disadvantage in HAV vs HAV fights.

Couple of things to keep in mind guys:

AV weapons should also be getting work done to them to bring them in line with the new numbers. Those will be posted at a later date. For now, try to focus on vehicle vs vehicle interactions.

Small arms shouldn't be able to disrupt shield recharging. I don't have the exact number for the threshold off the top of my head, but it should be enough to prevent someone from pinging you with an assault rifle to stop the recharge.

On another note, CCP Wolfman is out of his cave for a short time, so it might be a little while before he pops his head back into the thread. Keep the feedback rolling in though to make sure he's got a nice list of things to talk about when he gets back (and don't worry, there will be enough time for talking when he gets back)

As far as partial respecs/refunds for vehicle related stuff goes, they are on the table. No details yet, but that's because we're still discussing how we want to do it. We will let you know when we've decided how it will go down.
