I think they're gearing for hard to kill, but easier to disable tanks. |

The point is that it adds a healthy challenge on both ends instead of this kill or be killed nonsense. Let's face the facts- tanking isn't fun and when nobody was smart enough to spec into AV, dealing with tanks wasn't fun. The idea is to have a highly expensive asset that people invest heavy amounts of ISK and SP into be relevant in combat that doesn't have to be outright destroyed to compete against.
In EVE, you don't just try to destroy a ship- you try to dsiable it as well. Throw off its aim through speed tanking or scramblers, slow it down with webifiers, drain its capacitor with nosferatu and various other ways. I'd like to see more of that dimension of combat being used in Dust instead of a guy with a proto forge gun able to shut down an entire team's vehicle usage. |

That's what I'm thinking and not just EWAR, but more translations of EVE modules. ECM countermeasures for swarms or any other homing AV that might come in the game, micro warp drives for dropships, stasis webifiers that work on vehicles and infantry, disruption fields to set up ambushes, tracking disruptors to throw off people's aim... the sky's the limit. Shooting and blowing each other up is fun, but it gets boring after a while. There's a whole level of combat that still hasn't been tapped into yet. That's what can set Dust apart from other FPS. |

/thread Which AR?
Standard. Duvolle actually has higher DPS than a large blaster. |
