CCP has continuously trolled us by messing with the camera on the ship and by even buffing AV. The only comment I read by a Dev said that SP Respec was on the Table for Discussion Only regarding the vehicle balancing act of undetermined delivery date. Nothing related to SP was being committed to. Period.
So, please Mercs, Tankers, Amarr Light Suit Hopefuls and everybody else. Lighten up or quit. There are no published plans to make the game more reasonable than EVE and EVE has always been notoriously unreasonable.
Patience is the only solution here. If they give anything to anybody they will announce it. Then when it is released and it matches the description I will believe it. Until then. No gonna do it.
But, I am definitely not trusting CCP/Shanghai to do either the right thing nor any logical thing. They have a tradition to follow and why would I expect them to break the mold established in UpRising 1.1?  |

But I brought it up on the forums n they fixed it ... people have brought up many problems with vehicles, so they're fixing them ... your logi dropship will do what it's supposed to do by the time they come back, until then you'll still have a dropship you can fly ... n if that's not what you wanted ... refer to my previous post ! Have you read what the current plan is? I mean really read the entire post from the Devs?
They are fixing vehicles by removing all the ADV vehicles. They are gone. The STD vehicles will have significantly Less functionality than the current version. As in they are losing low and high slots. PG, CPU and HP. The tanks are being redesigned to be an 'empty husk' that will be very fragile until the super special new modules that last 1/3 the time compared to current while requiring significantly more time to recharge (2-3 times). So run in fast, push the modules, hammer away for 20 seconds and run like your life depends on it. Because it will. Then spend several minutes back at base recharging, restocking ammo and waiting for the very limited functionality that CCP/Shanghai believes Tanks should be restricted to will be available. And, no, we don't know what the significantly reduced roles that are supported by CCP/Shanghai because we have nothing to work with. Except a few google docs and they are what put the twist in vehicle owners knickers.
Now consider the DS pilots. Fragile bricks that are difficult to fly* and provide next to nothing for rewards for using them. The only ships worth using are being removed. They will, no doubt, suffer the very same fate as the Tanks. LLAVs are gone as well.
There is not only no time frame for this balancing act but there is no time frame as to when the functionality will be replaced. If ever as there is no guarantees with CCP. Decisions have consequences. And do they ever when CCP refuses to behave like a freaking grown up.
Thanks for the time you put in because we just destroyed your character. Start a different one because your SP is locked into something we destroyed. With a very special HTFU from CCP! 
* Why would anybody make the DS such a piece of Kitten Excrement to fly? It is the worst possible method to use for flight controls and it absolutely inconsistent with the rest of New Eden. Recall that EVE is basically a spread sheet. And flying means click and point, but down in the DUST the DS uses horrible controls that make no sense. Plus a constantly changing camera view that is only changeable by the Devs, not the operator. Classic CCP/Shanghai, now that I think of it. |
