Where the SP I invested in my tree actually meant something..... where fitting my HAV was a fine art of sorts and each tank was fully customisable, and where AV, while very powerful did something to tankers and kept us on our toes......
I only hope New HAV and turrets are released to mix up the meta.

Indeed but that doesn't mean we cannot look back objectively and given the 4 months or so since patch release appreciate what we had before.
As anyone knows opinions change given time and with new information. Tanking is enjoyable in 1.7-8 is it not purely a rich mans game, which I greatly appreciate, and I think is good...... but 1.6 HAV had ISK and SP to balance out HAV. Your SP meant something and gave you tangible advantages, while ISK prices were high to dissuade those who were not dedicated to their role.
Even back then when I was only rolling Soma and Low SP Maddy....I didn't care if I was beaten by someone with higher SP values, that was half the fun of tanking. Could skill see you through over SP?

Uhm... an Ishy Assault Forte Gun would pop a shield tank with one clip... And a breach forge gun two-shotted my highest EHP fit. Shield tanks as a whole were UP. Armor tanks at least had god reps to save them, our passive recharge was a complete joke and shield boosters were bugged as well (they pulsed once every three seconds instead every second... I always had the feeling that someone mistakenly switched the armor rep and booster pulse intervals). And yes their reps were that powerful. Even my proto missiles that dealt about 2300 damage or so as base damage per volley would be reduced by armor resists and then during the time it'd take to 'reload' they'd have the majority of their HP back, all while melting straight through my shields which my booster was negating only 3 out of 21 shots dealt by a blaster. You are pretty much on the same lines of foolish that Takahiro and spk4thedead of whatever. How exactly was I going to take out a 20k shield tank with a single clip from a forge gun? MLT tanks got 2 shot (some 3 and only a single time 4 for me). Yet a properly fit HAV could easily take upwards of 8 shots. And this was with an ishukone FG with prof 5 and 2 complex damage mods. Someone clearly didn't AV back then.
This is not a thread for either of your to ***** and moan, argue, and discuss in. You both have your respective thread. Please post in your own.
