and you think we don't know this?

were just letting CCP decide for themselves if they want to kill pilots off or try to revive us.

were tired of their bullshit.

in bf you put no personal investment into anything other than your infantry character in fact that's how every game is.

Dust514 allows you to actually put personal investment into vehicles for once.

Funny how changing one core skill could have prevented all this drama....

1.) Total vehicle SP has dropped by near 32 multipliers.
2.) Stats on the New Vehicle sheet are preliminary and current WIP, while I would love to get an update of the information out CCP Wolfman is still processing the feedback.
3.) AV weaponry is getting adjusted in 1.7
4.) No such thing as scattered blasters in 1.7 yet.

i just want my 10mil sp back to put into something useful, like shotguns and scouts

*slap*

I am looking forward to 1.7. Everything is being reworked and will actually fill a role. Blasters were in need of change. They were simply best at everything: they had the highest DPS, best AV within their optimal, and best against infantry. I feel like a damage decrease is necessary, as it will be more useful against infantry than against other vehicles, giving it a well defined role.

Railguns and missiles are getting buffed, however, not nerfed as you claim. Railguns will have smaller heat costs with higher damage per shot. Missiles also get increased damage per missile, in addition to the large variants being fully automatic with a 12 round clip and .15s fire interval, which will make large missile turrets have the highest DPS in the game.

Also, the time spent in and out of battle will not be so different as you outline it. The current situation is more like you have outlined it: rush in, then bugger out in 10 seconds and wait for a minute to rep back to full and for modules to cooldown. Shield tanks are even worse because it takes a minute or two to get full shields from near depletion with a booster, while armor tanks only need 45 seconds before they can go back to battle from near death.

With the changes, the active modules are more powerful and last longer than what they are now, while their cooldown times are roughly the same.

I haven't done any math, but it doesn't seem like it's going to take more SP than it does now. It might actually take less SP, but I don't know. The racial skills have been removed which will let cross-training easier.

CCP, do not listen to this guy.

don't care. skill into something you like. stop qqing.

fixed it for you

Sigh, can't wait to QQ before you get the numbers on AV can't you.

Just...

First, they said that those statistics are not concrete, variables and values can and probably WILL be changed, all that is what they have at the moment. We don't even know when that vehicle change WILL come, may not even be 1.7, plus we don't know what other changes are being made. Best thing to do is wait and see what happens, or give constructive critism and points.

When the tank changes come, and your still not happy, well you know what to do with the sp your gonna get back don't you?

Because you're wrong, and all that change would do is flip the unbalance in a direction that favors you, which seems to be all anyone around here cares about.

I'm getting tired of this stupid viewpoint of "whatever makes me destroy people is good for the game".

Seriously, people say politicians are retards, and then come here spouting the same crap they do and expect to be taken seriously.

your ideas are bad

I think CCP should follow the idea they posted, making base hulls weak and modules stronger, sadly in the same dev bog they state that, they also state they are nerfing modules and buffing tank HP.

calm down. the blaster stats were not changed so we dont know what adv or proto will be.
turrets actually got a buff.
tanks now have MORE EHP than they do now.
Shield tanks can become invulnerable to explosives and everything else except lasers will tickle.
Armor tanks get the 0.4 resistance from 1 module vs .45 from two.
to fully spec one tank type (shield or armor) and one turret, it is slightly over 14,000,000 SP, which is actually less than it costs, now. A decent tank with proto turrets and complex modules and 3 prof in most things will only be 3,109,200 SP. To fit a basic tank with std turret and basic modules is around 750,000 SP.

So, actually, tanks need less SP, do MORE damage, and take MORE hits- not to mention how nitros will make us move at 48m/s. haha. yeah. please do math before you tell people that they're wrong.

Wow, this sounds like what dropships have been going through since before I started in January. Stupid tanker QQ.
