I said that pre 1.7 and wrote and warned all of you as well but then I had just two months under my belt so I guess most figured that I couldn't possibly know what I was talking about . What do you think my signature was DIE 1.7 for ??? I seen this coming and knew the effect that it would have , making tanking boring and taking the options of having personalization and customization away .
I knew that tanks were for me the moment I listened to that motor . Not the power of the weapons but that motor , it's addictive .
Check around and I have written tank posts and , to me , they were not all that bad considering that I was not asking CCP to do the impossible or trying to make tanks something different than they were suppose to be , no gimmicks or tricks just make them they way that they should be from a military standpoint .
They still need an slight increase in CPU / PG . In their previous state CCP could have worked out the CPU / PG mod issue and the fact that the PG mods did other things like give a boost to your shields and such but now , no one in their right mind , unless they are maxed out at least in their core , would even attempt to exchange an enhancement for offensive power .
What is needed is the previous configuration of slots and mods to return . In the previous patch , players had an access to more choices for customization and you rarely seen players with the same fits and HP numbers and you had to worry about what they had under their hood as far as skill points placed into enhancements that were not offensive or defensive , then you had a portion of the skill tree that was like the core of the suits where you could add a percentage to your over all vehicle's CPU / PG but in this tree , you can only touch that area for a specific mod or turret and you have to have the branch maxed out before that option is even possible .
They dropped the ball with the slot layout and reconfiguration , also with taking the CPU / PG enhancements option off the table and in a way creating a sink with the optimization because they only effect that item and not the over all vehicles and again , you have to have that branch maxed out to even have access to that chance .
Word to the wise , they might try the same thing with the patch that will have the suits finalized . If I were you I would want that info to be addressed because if they change the suits core tree ( which shouldn't even be touched ) that might be their approach to that tree as well and that would be hell to pay . I do believe that they should give a full respec because some might want to place some of their core skill points in other areas , with the changes and not knowing their effects on their persons , so that is understandable but tying in the cloaking mechanics might go to the core as well with the scanning choices so that will have some type of effect . Some might just want to specialize in their races weapons and such .
The skill tree changes should be a topic of discussion .

Also, while it is not done with other militia items, perhaps vehicle items (since they are so powerful) should have militia variants that are less effective instead of just less efficient. Exp: Militia weapon modifier amping damage by only 20% instead of the current 30%.
Edit: I also would like to see small laser turrets that function like laser rifles, so tanks can be turned into deadly laser shows/raves.
I just can not agree with this , like someone else posted , when the advanced and prototype tanks come into play then you will see CCP's vision concerning tanks . The militia tanks will be outmatched to the point that people might just begin QQing about them , asking for a buff .
The militia tanks should not be touched at all . The future will prove that this will be the correct choice .
