With Uprising 1.8 approaching and 2.0 coming sometime later this year I had some ideas for some new vehicles.
The first idea was one me and my friend came up one day while we were playing and it is a 4 legged light weight scout vehicle. This vehicle has 150-200 armor and 300-400 shield, can move quickly,jump and can climb up steep surfaces. This vehicle has no cockpit the only protection the merc has is the vehicles shield.
The next idea is a troop transport vehicle that has 6 wheels and can carry 7 troops not including the pilot, it has 3 light turrets two on the side and 1 on top. It moves slower then an LAV and a little bit faster then an HAV it also has 2000 armor and 1500 shield.
The third and final vehicle is a fast light weight aerial vehicle that carries one merc and has 2 turrets mounted on each side that auto focus in the center. this vehicle can not hover very effectively but can strafe and dodge well. It has 1000 armor and 500 shield. |

Your latter two suggestions are the MAV and Fighter respectively given the information we had released at last years Fanfest. That however never came to be.
Your MAV suggestion is spot on, in terms og lighter armour and shield than HAV and crew capacity. However I earnestly believe the MAV should have a single main turret either being filled with remote shield or armour reppers or a Medium Turret.

Caldari and Gallente MAV
An non-role bonused MAV hull should carry 4, including the pilot. There should be nothing special about it. Racial differences aside (Minmatar fastest, Amarr most armor, etc.) It should be a little faster the a HAV, a bit slower than a LAV, Much tankier than a LAV, slightly less tanky than a HAV, and bring as much fire power as you could expect with two small turrets.
 One role I would like to see moved to the MAV is the Logi role. That would fit nicely with EVE's pattern, equating LAVs to frigates, MAVs to cruisers, and HAVs to battleships. The Logi role would fit nicely on the medium size vehicle hull.
A transport role bonus could have increased capacity for passenger, and bonuses to survivability (tankier), maybe one less turret, a bonus to MCRU, etc.
An assault MAV could carry less than an unbonused MAV, only 3; a driver, and 2 to man the small turrets. The Assault MAV could be bonused to damage (Damage, RoF, Reload speed, heat build up reduction, etc.), bonused to ammo cap, etc.
As a side note, I think a CovOps role on the LAV would work well and fit well with EVE's CovOps frigate.

Also, lock on turrets: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1814009#post1814009
We need completely new vehicles, apcs (mav), scvs (havs).
Guys need to remember that when you hear the word HAV, it does not imply a tank, a tank is classed as a HAV vehicle. E.g the SCV is a HAV.
Fighters (light aircraft)
Reconassaince craft (light aircraft with ewar etc)
Dropships (Medium aircraft)
Bombers (medium aircraft)
Gunships (heavy aircraft)
Logistical support craft ( heavy aircraft) rearm and resupply other aircraft
Speeder bikes (LAVs)
3-man jeep, what we have now needs a better name (LAV)
APC (MAV)
Logistical support unit for ground vehicles (MAV)
Tanks (HAVs)
SCVs (HAVs)
People need to realise that lav, mav and hav are just terms for categorisation and that it is not the name of the vehicle itself.
I hear people saying HAV for when spotting tanks, but in the future with SCVs ( squad command vehicles) I think people will realise that they can not simply shout HAV! Anymore, they will have to call out what it is like JEEP! SPEEDER! FIGHTER! GUNSHIP! TANK! APC! etc.. get what I am saying?
