HAVs and Dropships are completely separate entities under the vehicle classification and by tying together the static bonuses, modules, and damages you are forever creating an unbalanced situation where every tweak causes advantages/disadvantages for one side over the other. They serve two very different but crucial roles on the battlefield and shouldn't be treated as simply a large lumped 'vehicle' class.

If you truly believe what you stated above, then you must also believe that scouts and commandos are completely separate entities under the infantry classification and by tying together the static bonuses, modules, and damages you are forever creating an unbalanced situation where every tweak causes advantages/disadvantages for one side over the other; they serve two very different but crucial roles on the battlefield and shouldn't be treated as simply a large lumped 'infantry' class.
I don't see them as similar as each of our classes and races get specially aligned bonuses that are not shared and thus does not lump us together in that format. However in the case of vehicles, tweaks to how shield repping or other modules getting tweaked tend to either cripple Dropship pilots to AV while leaving tanks in a 'good place' or vice versa. It affects it bigger than just 'oh it screwed over this one specific type of dropship/tank' but it screwed ALL dropships/tanks via their shared values.
That is not a similar thing to dropsuits today as something that harshly affects shields really only impacts the caldari race who are mostly shield dependent. That's the type of difference distinction that I feel needs to happen.
I say all this as a passive non-vehicle user who has squadded with many different types of vehicle players and have heard many different sides of their ideas/complaints/rages and comparisons from trying out different things. The sway seems too big across some a big pool.

I never said I wanted a separate skill tree for anything. I want the values of how modules affect the different vehicle types to BEHAVE differently. IE: I want EQ that is skilled into to not produce the same base bonuses to BOTH vehicle classes equally. Stop blanket fixing two things that in ANY other game would be seen as different entities. Tanks vs Planes. They are NOT the same thing. That's what I'm trying to clarify. i'm tired of the "nerf tanks, but DS are ok now. Oh wait, now tanks are fixed but my DS sucks." threads.
