I been thinking that MTACs would have infantry modules but some benefits and disadvantages of vehicles (like light vehicle resilience)

Then the weapon 'rack' would be using infantry weapons but its arranged in such a way its quad lights/sides or twinned heavies set to fire in a mode that would suit it best (like plasma cannons would chain fire while Assault Rifles would cyclinc between all four rifles.)

Melee is special case. Controls are infantry based.

As a light vehicle it would be as weak as the lav with out the speed advantages, although having the ability to have a quad light weapon of choice like a forge and 4X laser rifle would extremely useful
I was kind of hoping that the medium vehicles will be introduced to start to bridge the gap between the vehicles we have so far.
As a medium vehicle it could defend itself a lot more efficient although the medium vehicle modules will also have to be developed to keep the balance, this includes a medium gun class which could be exactly as you thought with a few tweaks to how you would charge and fire with heat build ups and ammo counts

As a light vehicle the the only thing I can think is to have a jet boost ability to help it move around the tough terrain
With a fast enough pace we and move without being an easy target

A melee attack could be a kick or a arm swipe, although having a backup weapon as a knife would be really nice especially if we could carve up tanks while beeing on top of the thing out of its line of fire

I would love to hear what else you guys have on this,

There are already Drones in EVE. A lot of NPC missions are with drones. Even some regions are know as Drone regions, where rats are rogue drones. So you dont need story.

Hansei Kaizen The Jackson Five 17	Posted - 2014.03.17 17:32:00 - [23] - Quote I think what could make them unique as a vehicle would be the ability to jump on obstacles / small buildings and traverse rough terrain without slowing down as much. My guess is that Jet Bikes are gonna come to the game sooner than MTACs just because I have seen concept art of the former, and not of the latter.
