N1ck Comeau Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 1827	Posted - 2014.01.18 17:41:00 - [1] - Quote We all know tank spam is an issue. So how about this. Limit a tanker to one a game. He loses that and he can't call in another. Non assault dropships can be called in as many times as they want. Assault ships on the other hand are limited to 1. Lav's can be called in as many times as they want. This means that if your team works hard to eliminate tanks, the threat can not be instantly back. Minmatar Assault. Hopeful Caldari Scout soon. praying for that respec.
Skihids Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 2710	Posted - 2014.01.18 17:45:00 - [2] - Quote How about balancing by adding rather than subtracting? Add play enhancing counters such as web stasis rather than leave tanks OP but limited to one each.

Awesome, so can we limit you guys to one proto suit/ proto weapon/ proto module per match then too? (I know for some of you anal bastards that would probably be enough still)

Beamer 325 Hellstorm Incorporation 4	Posted - 2014.01.18 18:16:00 - [6] - Quote LMAO! I call in proto tanks for team mates all the time. Why waste Sp when you can buy from a team mate. I also spam free lav's for all to enjoy.
Operative 1171 Aajli Bragian Order Amarr Empire 1065	Posted - 2014.01.18 18:21:00 - [7] - Quote Yep, good deal! Now also make it so an infantry can't refit a different suit or weapon at a depot and must run the one fit they selected. So, you roll AV you stay AV. Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!
Sgt Buttscratch 1330	Posted - 2014.01.18 19:30:00 - [8] - Quote If we limit tankers to 1 per match, it would then be only fair to linit infantry to 1 non starter fit per match. I stick my weiner in two buns and and then give it the gas Sour cream from my spleen into Levi jeans

Add play enhancing counters such as web stasis rather than leave tanks OP but limited to one each. Better balanced Infantry vs Vehicle games (ie BF3,4) add a spawn limit on the vehicles (only so many at one time) and a spawn timer (only after x amount of time from the last one to be destroyed is another one available). Our issues here could benefit from appropriate variations of these sorts of additions. Open-Beta Vet. NPC Corp Independent Contractor. Drunk Night Tree Burner. This is my Main and Original.
Goric Rumis Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 329	Posted - 2014.01.18 19:36:00 - [10] - Quote Artificial limits are not the way to fix vehicles. Whether that's the number a single person can call down or the number on the field at any given moment. They're only going to be balanced when they're more specialized, so that there are a lot more people who would rather do something else. This is also why nerfing militia tanks alone isn't going to stop the spam. Having to spend SP didn't stop the Caldari logi spam. People have to be more interested in doing something else than they are in whatever they're spamming. The Tank Balancing Factor No One Is Discussing

No, they'll have to be limited to something that doesn't have a majority of their SP invested in it, so they get one dropsuit and then have to drive LAVs with no collision damage. Or for more hilarity, off the shelf militia dropships. Amarr HAV Speculation
lDocHollidayl Ancient Exiles. Renegade Alliance 471	Posted - 2014.01.18 19:42:00 - [14] - Quote Might be a troll but...really, your SP is in vehicles and now its dead you must run around in militia? Have you played a PC match lately? Tanks do not win PC's...otherwise you would see six tanks per team. Put your energy somewhere else ...like ending profitable District locking in PC.

We do actually already have "artificial limits" on vehicle totals, I get the "No, your team has too many" response when I try to call an LAV at the start of the match pretty often. So the proposal would, made context appropriate of course, really wouldn't be more than a little tweaking of what already exists for vehicle totals, just type and time specific. No outright nerfing or buffing, just an appropriate burnzone limit. Open-Beta Vet. NPC Corp Independent Contractor. Drunk Night Tree Burner. This is my Main and Original.

No outright nerfing or buffing, just an appropriate burnzone limit. Ideally even this artificial limit should be removed. The real limit should be effectiveness. Too many of one role means your team is at a disadvantage. That will happen when each role becomes both distinct and necessary for victory. Right now the only role you need is that of slayer and the chief attribute is DPS. That's a big part of why we have a FoTM. There's only one thing to chase, DPS.
