I understand there are some planned vehicles to come in the future such as the following link demonstrates: CCP Vehicle Concepts.

I'd like to suggets something the US and Israeli armies use for ground transport, anti-mine, and battlefield dash with interchangeable gun mount... The MaxxPro. It can carry about 10 soldiers. I'm not suggesting the exact look, but the concept of a ground carrier with optimal defense and minimal offensive capabalities with the main purpose as ground transport instead of air. Just as the real world military Hummvee with a mounted gun has the Dust 514 equivalent LAV, it'd be great if the MaxxPro had a Dust 514 equivalent.

I was at the factory that makes those a few times. Really good people.
Also, sadly Israel doesn't really use them. They are only exported. Israel just can't afford them.

Anyway, DUST will eventually have MAVs. Hopefully, if CCP are listening, one of their roles will be ground troop transport.
I once suggested using HAV hulls for large scale troop transport too, but that has been ignored so far.

Anyway, good idea!

The MAV is what you are asking for, barring the last request. the MAV will have a medium turret, and probably an extra small turret. Think of the IFV's in the Battlefield games.

Anyway, good idea! Yeah, I personally would rather be transported by ground with a heavy hull than in a flimsy paper plane.

Simply repurposing current vehicles, by switching modules and design and technically speaking, remove the cannon and replace it with a gun or a hatch and less work has to be done.

It's more than just using existing vehicles, it's a design philosophy change in a way. Up until now CCP have been designing vehicles for specific roles. My idea simply states that each hull should allow multiple roles depending on fitted modules/turrets. This exact idea could be applied to the future MAV too. We could have Assault MAVs with more guns, logi MAVs with more armour and electronics, or transport MAVs with more internal space. It's basically down to the fit itself instead of CCP's design.

I appreciate what you're saying but this game 'needs' risk to balance reward. The real worlds needs as little risk as possible .. hence MaxxPro. Imagine a 10 man super hardened carrier wheeling all over the map. Then, with the dodgy exit vehicle animation where people suddenly 'pop up' 5m away from where they parked .. 10 men (or ladies) blip in and out of the super wagon slay all .. hack the objective .. and then get back in the super wagon. At which point, the reserves turn up to try and revert the hack - only to be turned in to dog food by the machine gun and then flattened as super wagon steam rollers over them.

Well it doesn't necessarily have to be heavy armored, just medium armored. It's not so different from the Dropship except it's landlocked. Because of the larger amount of soldiers jumping in, it could have a longer delay to hop in as well.
Miko Ray DUST University Ivy League 33	Posted - 2014.01.18 19:55:00 - [14] - Quote I'm rarely right about these things anyway ... so a moan from me probably means that you're on track. If it's not super tough and doesn't move like an F1 race car then I'd be less worried.
GenStigma Caldari State 1	Posted - 2014.01.18 20:22:00 - [15] - Quote I would imagine it'd have the medium armor, and moves anywhere between a tank and an LAV. So basically an MAV. > #include [stdio.h] int main(void) { > printf("Hello Wolrd"); > return 0; }
