Proto AV should be balanced against proto vehicles.
I cannot agree with this. I pointed out why in the last thread this came up in. Which was about six hours ago.
I also cannot agree even that a pilot suit should exist.
Essentially you'd be doubling the sink an effective vehicle, because unless something drastic happened, like as in you can't drive a vehicle aside from LAVs without a pilot suit, the only reason for a suit like this would be to amplify a vehicle's effectiveness by adding modules to the suit.
Which is more SP sink.
Essentially, by asking for a pilot suit, you're implying that you want under no circumstances that vehicles should be viable without one.
Which is some crazy elitist BS.
PRO AV has to be balanced around STD tanks, which cannot have sinks of tens of millions of SP to be effective and capable of surviving, and any variant vehicles must make significant sacrifices in the name of their chosen effectiveness.
i.e. Enforcers for larger DPS, lesser mobility and poor tank, Marauders for larger tank, lesser DPS and poor mobility and say Black Ops (which is a silly name IMO) for larger mobility, lesser tank and poor DPS.
There should be no way to have an objectively better vehicle than the next scrub simply by spending more money on a better hull. Sacrifices in the name of turrets I can deal with (try to fit a Particle Madrugar - it's a right royal pain) but something that's a Madrugar +two lows and double the fitting, in the way of dropsuits?
That's a good way to keep tanks out of the hands of anyone but the people who already have buckets of SP, and ISK to practice.
