DUST Search - [Request] Add more passive skills for vehicles

I'd like a shield skill that doesn't suck for shield tanks(the shield skill is: 5% to depleted recharge speed. if you're in armor on a gunni, you're basically dead already as a stiff breeze could punch through that armor)

disparity between shield and armor tanks: armor tanks can become basically impossible to kill because of sheer repping ability(400/s without any type of interrupt mechanic + a hardener. good luck killing that with anything short of an act of god,two back to back strikes, or all the remotes in the world being shoved in his tailpipe)
Shields can become basically impossible to kill because of stacked, brokenly powerful hardeners(don't nerf the hardeners, just restrict putting on more than one.)

When I armor tank, I can basically laugh off anything short of 3-4 av guys at once, or a dmg modded sica(GG CCP, you made mlt tanks pretty much as good as millions-of-SP-in-tanks tanks. Thanks. Maybe you can do that with suits? no wait, your CoD crybabies would ***** this game out of existence. Guess tankers can just go suck a fat one, though, right?)

I really miss the old tree right now. the tanks were ****ing paper, but at least the skills did something other than unlock new crap.

Some examples of skills that could be added are: skills that affect scan precision, profile, and radius; a skill that increases the top speed by 1% per level; a skill that increases acceleration by 1% per level.

Having a skill that would increase turning speed or torque of all vehicle by 1% like the old powerplant modules would be great too.

I really miss the old tree right now. the tanks were ing paper, but at least the skills did something other than unlock new crap. (A little off topic, but whatever) The combination of buffing hardeners and buffing the large turrets, really made the tanking situation pretty crappy; CCP's attempt at making tanking more fast paced, fun, and have short waves of opportunity, failed. Also the bonus for shields does suck too; one way of fixing that skill is to make it decrease the shield regen delay when the shields aren't depleted in addition to when they are, just like how shield regulator work for infantry; the way it is right now, it only gives a bonus when one basically dead. Armor hardeners base duration is currently 36 and it's 45s with Engine Core Calibration maxed out; while for shields it's a 24s base with 30s with Engine Core Calibration maxed out. Shield recharge rate for a Caldari tank is 168.00HP/s Complex heavy armor repairer: 140.00HP/s. With Vehicle Armor repair systems Lv5, its 175.00**HP/s. Thats only with 1 heavy repair module; armor tanks can easily fit two and still have a hardener which gives them a permanent 350s repair rate. I don't think limiting vehicles to 1 hardener is not the solution though; I think reducing rep rates of armor repairers and increasing their CPU cost; decreasing resistance of hardeners by 5%, reducing the duration for armor hardeners by 4s; increase the recharge time of hardeners 5s; and reduce the damage per minute of the large turrets to pre1.8 levels would help. Another idea thats been through around on the forums was to stop all passive reps when a vehicle is hardened.

You'll notice we don't have most of those (the racial ones for more obvious reasons, though I wouldn't have minded having the placeholders inserted...). OMG yes, lots of these should have already been here.
