First off, all types of vehicles should get completely different pieces if equipment depending in the make and model of said vehicle.
The difference between active and passive equipment is that active is better with a cool down time and or better CPU/PG requirements. Passive equipment would be active all the time with a few drawbacks, once of which could be a higher CPU/PG cost.
Active camera drones:
When active, several drones fly out to get a tank driver view of the field. In first person mod they provide a small picture in picture with the 3rd person view and vise versa. High cool down timer.
Not the coolest way to use drones, but I think it would provide a advantage.
Passive camera drones:
Higher CPU/PG requirement and drones can not be switched on or off but instead prove a tactical view of your environment every 30-60 seconds.
That's all I can remember from my sleeps last night. The point of equipment is to provide advantages to set vehicles, Not the like the universal types of mods we have now(they are not meant to replace current mods)
Anyone have any other mods?

Camera drones exist - it is what lets you have the 3rd person view (seriously - it's part of the Eve lore and is the reason you have the 3rd person view of the internet spaceships as well) |

Why you hate-in FL?
I meant this as a more advanced camera drone.

The Dev team is too small. You have some reasonable ideas but how would they balance them when they have been unable to deliver a new weapon that works correctly or isn't OP Day 1?
And, a cynic (which I am) would say that is what we have now. As far as tweaking them for each and every race this is just another moment for CCP/Shanghai to make yet another FOTM, only for tanks. They have never been good at balancing the game nor have them been able to respond quickly to an obvious problem. In particular if it is something they really, really liked - a pet project like the totally useless scanners.
Personally I would not like the changes, maybe for EVE but Dust is F2P. F2P games need New Players to come in and enjoy the game, which means they have to understand the game. That is not needed in EVE because there is plenty of materiel on the web for it. And Newbs are Ganked there anyway so who cares?
Many EVE players want to add EVE complexity to Dust and it will not make the game better, just more complex. Which will mean fewer people will continue to play it after their first experiences.
And so it goes.

Yea this
Part 1: Engineering & Capacitors
Part 2: Armor & Shield
Part 3: Modules & Skills
Part 4: Vehicles
Part 5: Overview
Just copy and paste from EVE tbh
Also camera drones are immune to harm and are always invisible |

@Kal, if you look at it like that then might as well give up on the game moving forward at all. Just a few months ago, cloaks seem impossible. Also I didn't mean for it to be race based, but vehicle and size based.
I can agree however, that the NPE is quite awful and that we can only balance that with proper balance of weapons, tanks and suits as well as giving proper match making(which is kind of impossible with the current player base) it would be nice to see new players get a permanent SP boost up to a certain point.
@Takahiro, I don't think they should be un-kill able but I don't think they should be easy targets. Maybe have variants with higher hp and no cloak, lower hp with slight cloak ect ect.
It is equipment after all, and most equipment can be killed or disabled.

Camera drones are not equipment
They are not fitted by the player, they come with the vehicle just like wheels do with the LAV

Again, I'm talking about a equipment slot to vehicles and would add a advanced set of drones that could be used to have a better view of the field. The downside being that they could be taken out or disabled, maybe by flux grenade or sustained weapon fire.
Other pieces if equipment could be a remote ECM field that throws off the targeting of SLs and AV nades. This could follow the vehicle and have a short active time with a decent cool down or a field effect that would not follow the vehicle but effect a wide area and last for a long time.

if we do active stuff you need a capacitor.
and active costs more and more pg not less.
Passive is the less effective always on choice.
An it doesn't cycle.
