I would like it if HAV or DS piloting (so any enclosed vehicle, as opposed to LAVs where the driver can be shot out, and is more of a personal transport anyway) required a pilot suit. I'd also like it if mods were added that would add small efficacy bonuses to your HAV (so say an item that gives 5% efficacy to shield hardeners (so 63% for a single mod rather than 60%). Something small, but potentially valuable.

I already have 3 different weapons to skill up in the form of my turrets. There are 7 skill sets in the game. Vehicle Upgrades, Command, and Turret Operation make up the 3 for vehicles while Dropsuit Command, Dropsuit Upgrades, and Weaponry makes up the Infantry set. Leaving out Corporation skills because they are not needed for this point.

In order to be a decent HMG user, you need the three infantry skills. In order to be a decent Dropship pilot, you need the three vehicle skills. If Pilot Suits were added, the Dropship pilot would need 4. That is where the analogy comes from.

I was just breaking down the fact that there are three skills that govern vehicles and three skills that govern infantry, not necessarily saying "I need to skill into all three turrets."

In Scenario 1, that would mean being governed by four skills sets in order to make up a deficit. Scenario 2 has it that if they are just freebie bonuses, it is nothing more than a buff to vehicles that drop the SP. If you are avoiding Scenario 1 and 2, I see you running right into Scenario 3; a bonus small enough to not make it worth spending over two million SP. I want to avoid Scenario 2 (a flat buff) just as much as I want to avoid Scenario 1 (a nerf in the form of more SP invested.)
