Atiim Living Like Larry Schwag 2252	Posted - 2013.12.19 02:01:00 - [4] - Quote Not Quite While I do believe that the current prices are waaay to low, the vehicle prices back then for a really good tank were expensive when you wanted the super good modules on. The old vehicle prices catered only to the rich and the ones with a spot in Farmville (I mean.. umm.. Molden Heath). Because of said prices, vehicles weren't profitable and led to dropship pilots everywhere becoming poor and asking for ISK. Holy Fudgenipples!!! MY HMG WORKS!!! IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!! \o/
Chris F2112 Pradox One Proficiency V. 520	Posted - 2013.12.19 02:02:00 - [5] - Quote Vehicle prices should be super expensive for really good tanks. Personally, I think that dropships are right about where they should be. Tanks should be about 3 or 4 times more expensive.

Tankers no longer have to be in a well paying corp just to make money. Honestly the only thing that needs to change is the speed (Bas speed, not speed with the mods) and the Railgun Turret damage. I was squadded with a tanker and he lost a tank with Proto turrets to a Sica with a Militia Railgun turret When I'm depressed, I cut myself......A BIG SLICE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE! nú+

Personally I think their all fine. 3 re's kill them all. Ive actually managed to stick a few to dropships as well before. As far as the price goes, you know most people are running militia vehicles compared to running actual tanks lately.

And as soon as we get a full range of vehicles going up to Prototype level, along with the current Standard vehicle PG/CPU stats rebalanced to make all-Proto Gunllogis/Madrugars slightly less viable.

I was squadded with a tanker and he lost a tank with Proto turrets to a Sica with a Militia Railgun turret That would be me my proto missiles could not put DPS a militia rail if fitted properly they do about 2,000 damage a shot and you can get 5 off before over heat it took me one volley to break through his shields and by the time my long ass reload finished I was dead. I understand missiles do less against shields but so do rails this was more of a once in the blue moon scenario I usually kill them very quickly I keep forgetting to come in an AV suit so that I can finish people off because of my 8 seconds of vulnerability. At proto type rails do 3500 a shot. I think in the games we were in the only things I died by were rails OB's and I think one other tank I always have the worst of luck I will be 3 seconds away from a finished cool down and then a tank will turn the corner and **** me up because my hardeners were inactive, I haven't fully mastered tanks like I had in 1.6 yet but I am no scrub either. Tanker/Logi Tanks almost fixed.

I would pay up to about 600k for a well fit assault dropship, and an all militia tank should never be less than 150k.

With the low TTK running protosuits is not profitable unless you only die once or twice a match which is much easier to due in a free tank than a full proto dropsuit..

Tankers no longer have to be in a well paying corp just to make money. Honestly the only thing that needs to change is the speed (Bas speed, not speed with the mods) and the Railgun Turret damage. I was squadded with a tanker and he lost a tank with Proto turrets to a Sica with a Militia Railgun turret Firstly 2 questions 1) if I was in a standard suit with a proto gun and died to a militia suit and militia gun would it be reasonable to say that the militia suit + gun needs a nerf because I died from it? 2) if I wanted to run around in proto suits all day and could not make a profit doing so, is the game broken? or am I running gear that I cannot afford because I am not good enough? with tanks different turrets suit different things, also just because you have better does not mean you cannot be either taken at a disadvantage or outplayed. saying that a standard tank with a proto gun should beat a militia tank with a militia gun should only be the case if all things are equal which will happen. proto rail gun>militia rail gun standard tank>militia tank add the 2 together and its quite an advantage as it is with the suits and guns for the grunts. I agree that making isk was a problem for most tankers. prior to the patch its far to say that using a militia tank/fit was mostly unviable due to performance and needless to say it cost more too. After the patch a militia fit has become more than viable for fighting with due to the buffs of tanks and nerfs of AV. The problem with the militia tank is that its simply too profitable, you can loose 3 in a match and make a reasonable profit. Personally I do not believe that militia tanks should cost the same as an advanced logistics suit with some proto on. if you loose as many tanks as that logistics player looses suits then you have a problem. the risk vs reward is unbalanced between the 2 and its the reason why if tanks stand in their current power they need a hefty price rise as tank spam is not healthy. I would honestly say that tanks need their base top speed to be cut by 25-50% and have a far greater speed reduction for rough terrain. lets face it currently there is little obstacle to any terrain bar a building being in front of you which just makes it too easy to get away. These 2 measures should make tanks more easy to tackle for infantry and tank vs tank stop the stupid tank chases zooming around the map which are tedious and when zooming to the redline irritating.

Prior to 1.7, HAVs followed this same pattern with the Militia HAV having lower base stats in addition to less slots/PG/CPU. Also, most infantry gain more than one extra slot when going from the lowest tier to the highest. That's literally ALL our HAVs get EVER.

The old vehicle prices catered only to the rich and the ones with a spot in Farmville (I mean.. umm.. Molden Heath). Because of said prices, vehicles weren't profitable and led to dropship pilots everywhere becoming poor and asking for ISK. are we agreeing on something? 300 - 500k isk for a good tank (a pub tank) I earned my riches, thank you. man if i could sell some of the crap I don't need anymore, even if it was just back to the market (no P2P) I'd be a far wealthier merc. 100 some odd ADV gall logi suits i can't wear(optional respec) 200 some odd PRO plates i'll never fit on a scout ect,ect,ect...

Tankers no longer have to be in a well paying corp just to make money. Honestly the only thing that needs to change is the speed (Bas speed, not speed with the mods) and the Railgun Turret damage. I was squadded with a tanker and he lost a tank with Proto turrets to a Sica with a Militia Railgun turret but theres no risk for tankers now... it has gone to an extreme in the other direction. maybe the old prices are to much, but tanks should certainly cost more than they do now to put some risk back in the game for tankers. Oh, now you don't like being on that side. Well too bad. Teamwork for thee, but no teamwork for me, such is the motto of the anti vehicle infantry.
Ivy Zalinto Lo-Tech Solutions Ltd 186	Posted - 2013.12.19 06:31:00 - [56] - Quote Honestly with as many tanks that are running around, there's plenty of risk to a tanker running there's. My good gunloggi costs around 3-400k a piece and some loyalty for my gunners turrets. I can take nearly any single tank ive fought against but if a second rolls up I have to run, and they will chase me. Even with protoing out my railguns it doesn't seem like there's much difference unless I activate one of the damage mods I've been playing around with...Could just be I never got much practice with the tanks. I never had much money until recent and my tanker character has always been broke due to 6-700k fittings per tank with godlike av. No point in running the damn thing back then when I couldn't see my target to counter it. I could just be a terrible tanker but my track record tells me otherwise. But I know I'm unlucky.
