i know this Topic have been brought a few time. but i want to keep this idea alive and circulated in the mind of our current Vehicle operators and CCP :) of course
now let get to the meets of things.
its no doubt the the vehicles mechanics(modules) was adapted from EVE, but without a key component which makes all work the capacitor the heart and soul of Starships in EVE.
Let me explain for those who not familiar with the concept basically a capacitor of a ship is a power storage circuit that is used to activate fitted modules in turn drain power from it, until power run out than you can no logger use modules till the capacitor recharge it self. now you may ask how those this fit in DUST
as i said earlier they toke a cool idea (vehicle modules) without a key component. instead all active modules is on a timer. we can guess that it was done for gameplay balance issue, but instead the whole mechanics around vehicle warfare is completely cripple. the trade off for what would have bee a interesting dynamic gameplay, tactics experimenting with different modules see what work for personal styles VS the current gameplay system we have now aren't wroth it. Let me clarify
there are hundreds of vehicle modules currently in Dust. the with the current state of vehicles Pilots are force to rely on 2
optimum fitting and around 8 modules or so IE. 1 plate/extender 2 hardener 1 heavy Rep/Booster or 1 Plate/extender and 3 reps which make the rest of the modules basically useless and the will continue to be even with the new re balance CCP promise. Pilots will continue to rely those 2 fits which is boring in my opinion
anyway that's my 2 cent what you think guys positives and negative of capacitor in Dust below |

that the thing adding the capacitor gameplay mechanics would have solve and contribute greatly the the rebalancing of vehicles and 1.7 would have been the perfect time to introduce it any later would have make 1.7 pretty useless and wasted of resource. of the vehicles balancing came from what i mention above adding a system without its core mechanic |

no. not in the current incarnation or for the foreseeable future.
true the TTK time is far too short and thats part of the problem right now. the current engagement for tanks is about 7-13 sec on average and its all came down who started shooting first, that's not fun either considering the time and isk invested in these tank VS the payoff
IMO if CCP does increasing the TTK as you said even a bit more the current we have right now. theoretically speacking the only thing that would change are the tactics and therm of the engagements which is still can be fun compare to the one who shoot first wins. other effect of that would see more vehicles in combats and less of lone wolf tanker raking kills on infantries |

Why nerf what has already been nerfed countless times before? That is exactly it though, perhaps with a limiter such as a capacitor, vehicles could be ungimped. a
thank you for pointed that out. that was one of the general idea of this post |

I doubt they'd have the perma-run capabilities that spaceships have. not really there's the ammo count limit which they already announce is coming this would would keep it pretty balanced |
