After stumbling across an amazing teacher, shout-out to Bojo the Mighty, I have been progressing down the path of a professional LAV pilot. Though I am still very inexperienced with the everything, I am pretty much ready to start experimenting with fittings, and I am looking for inspiration.
I would appreciate if people could post up one of their go-to fittings, or a really fun fitting they have tested and they feel works okay. Following the basic law of alchemy, equivalent exchange, I will post my go-to fitting for other people to use if they so wish.
Saga II
High Slots:
Reactive Deflection Field I
Basic Heavy Shield Extender
Low Slot:
Militia Railgun Ammo Expansion Unit
Turret:
20GJ Particle Accelerator
This is the fit I run almost exclusively, it focuses on being a Saga, just a lot of hit 'n' run style shootings, and naturally, Road Kills. Blaster Tanks are easy to get away from, unless they surprise you at a point where it is nearly impossible to get away. Trying to get away from Rail Tanks can go either way. The first shot takes out most of your shields, but not all, so if you get lucky you can dodge shots until your shields regen to a point where your Deflection Field makes a difference. If you cannot dodge the second shot, however, then you're screwed, and 85k isk goes down the drain. I have not gone up against a Missile Tank yet. Driving into a complex allows you avoid all but the most talented Dropship pilots, depending on the complex. Most opposing LAVs are easy to outmanoeuvre, as they are either low-torque Methanas, or they are militia LAVs which are pretty much never a threat. Sadly, due to being underpowered, Sagas are pretty rare and I have not encountered another one on an opposing team yet. I don't expect people to post up a paragraph explanation like this about their fitting, and if you actually read through all of that I thank you for taking time out of your day to do so.

These are pretty interesting. Sadly my skills are no where near high enough to make those (Tomorrow I get Vehicle Core Upgrades to Lvl. 3.... Yay!), but the concept seems pretty good. Hopefully soon I can try out my Double Damage mod fit against some dropships, and I would like to mess around with the Missile Turret when I can skill into it.

Maybe in 1.8~
Woah! Slow Down! Your Going Too Fast!
Sagas with just the nitrous are a bit hard to control, that's just going to be insane.
But I can just smell the Road Kill, ooooh the Road Kill.......

Bump!
On a note to my LAV Research buddies, I picked up two more people for the channel. I ran into them, one gunning and one driving, in a pub match. They were running Methana with the Particle Accelerator, so I know you guys will swoon over that(Gallente Plebs!), and combined they got 2000wp. So make sure to say hi to Neo Rune and Treek(I can't remember if that was his name, but I know it is close and it had some numbers after) when you see them.
And keep those fits coming, I'm at a strong lack of inspiration. I'm using my LAV only when I go on Line Harvest, and even then usually for only half of the match.
Hope to stab you guys soon.........

Alas, C'est Dust 514. Balance shall never truly be achieved. Lets just give the Saga..... maybe..... 30000 more shields so it doesn't have to stack extenders/hardeners and can be more for utility.

Just a question to the LAV Research guys, what is you record for a solo match K/D wise? This means just you running around switching to your turret to get kills when you need to.
I recently went 31/3/0 and was wondering if someone like Foundation has topped that(though I would not be surprised). I've seen Foundation go 16/0 by himself before and he made it seem easy so 40/0 shouldn't be hard for him either, right?
Also what is your opinion on Jihad Jeeping guys?

Man, you guys missed a great game today.
It was Foundation, Theex, a friend of his, and myself doing a 4-man Road-Kill competition.
Rules for the Road-Kill competition:
1. Your LAV is not allowed to have a turret.
2. You are not allowed to get out of your LAV for any reason.
3. No Jihad Jeeping!
We follow these rules and bet a certain amount of isk, in this case it was 500 000. The losers each pay the winner the required amount of isk at the end, and the winner is the person who got the most Road-Kills, which is the only type of kills you can get when you follow the rules.
Plus it was on Manus Peak against What The French, so it was cramped and full of tanks. I have never had so much fun in Dust before.
Hopefully we can have more of these competitions, as I have only participated in two, and from what I know I came up with this event. (But tell me if you guys have done this before)

Sounds like something we would do. Sadly I am fairly new to R 0 N 1 N and everyone I mentioned in my previous post is not even a member. But a Plasma Cannon squad, I would kill to see that..........
