glimse:...
into why we have the vehicles we do now.
the original iterations worked great, they did their designated roles.
So why do we have the vehicles we have now?
My guess is that the map sizes and match player counts are the culprits.
Yes yes yes, i remember people taking DS up on top of towers and raining death, and all the other varied abuses like hand of God clone squishing (which i believe mostly went away with the collision detection). I think the current DS handling is better than the arcadey feel prior, but maybe a touch too far-or maybe not now that DS projectiles arent affected by the DS's momentum.
It would be interesting to see how the current rail tanks would fare against DS that werent so severely range restricted.
Once the current resistance modules are rebalanced and we see the addition (return) of passive resistance modules, tanks should hopefully be in a better place, but i still long for aircraft that can carry the battles to, and wage war from, the sky.
Bigger maps, better designed thru focused play test sessions on Singularity get my vote.

ive played/play all the roles, and even though i kill DS from the redline, i still feel guilty about it  .
in as much as its the best way to get DEV attention, i'll continue to do it, and feel bad for the DS.... tanks? meh die fkr...

The codex and chromosome dropships were pretty cool. Although this one dropship I tried to shoot down with swarms one time had 2 light chassis on his dropship... He outran every missile shot at him.. He just circled our spawn point and trolled us.. And it was an annoyance.
fittings should count for something:
currently the only viable tactic is to fit as much tank onto your DS as you can.
I get that CCP have limited vehicle modules to focus data collected, I also suspect that DS will get some love sometime in the future, which is why i do my best to remind people that any changes to AV directly threaten DS balance.
The newer maps and sockets have been designed to force tank play outside of the main socket. Surely we can get some maps and sockets that allow DS to interact with the battle and seek cover without having to flee to the redline every time they take a hit?
edit : sockets

late reply:
i never got into the LDS, i think i was too busy running the logi suit with a squad at the time... preparing for the incoming PC patch.
mostly it'd just be nice to see what is in 1.8 .... .....and an idea of what might be worked on for 1.9.....
