Split turrets again idea - So it takes 2 players to use a vehicle, will it take 2 players to use your logi suit? will it take 2 20mil SP vehicle pilots to use this vehicle? who skills up what? does the vehicle get extra bonuses since it takes 2 to use it? who calls it in? who pays for it? who skills up for it? do i get a vehicle lock? Will it take 2ppl to use a FG or SL or a PLC?

Cant scream for tiercide for one playstyle when the other playstyle ignores it

Takes two players to use a vehicle that takes two players to destroy.

Presumably one of them would pay for it. I imagine that a reasonable relationship would involve the gunner paying for half and the driver paying for the other half.

I am personally of the opinion that both of them would share passive bonuses like ADSes do now (although balanced with that in mind, unlike ADS).

Think of it more like an LAV.

I'm screaming tiericide for infantry too, believe me.

Marauders cannot come back in their old form without ruining the partial balance we've achieved (well, FGs have) through such blood, sweat and years (was a typo, but I'm keeping it). They would need some serious reworking to be balanced upon rerelease. (I'm a fan of separated turrets and massive EHP buffs, combined with small DPS nerfs.

Yoma Carrim Last VenDetta. Dark Taboo 579	Posted - 2014.06.23 10:20:00 - [2] - Quote We know Marauders can't come back in like they were. It was the reason they were removed in the first place. I would like to see Marauders returned with lower bass speed than STD HAV's and a 4% natural resistance to shield or armor perl skill lvl not both. Enforcers I would like to see return as fast attack HAV's higher bass speed, lower health, but a 3% buff to turret damage per skill lvl. But that's just my opinion. Oh Heck

Describe to me a way to balance those vehicles to current AV without returning us to 1.6 where the only viable tanks were the most expensive ones, or to 1.7 where infantry AV stands literally no chance.

As a result of the sever lack of balance this idea purposes tankers respond in kind by having CCP make Dropsuits only operate when 3 people are controlling them. 1 person to move the legs. 1 person to aim. 1 person to shoot. think about it then come back and let me know if splitting a person asset with someone with no benefit is fair and actual balance.

If it takes 2 AVers to destroy an HAV, which it does most of the time, it should take 2 to operate one. Vehicles, no matter what role, have always been about teamwork- a standard dropships with only a pilot can't do **** without jumping out, and the same goes for a standard LAV with only a driver. Dropships, if used correctly, which they never are, actually are about facing the enemy head-on.

Of course infantry won't see it as balanced to see one hulking beast destroy another. Infantry wants to be the only ones to counter tanks, though they'd rather tanks not exist in the first place, because their AR can't destroy them.

Most infantry I've seen don't even try to counter tanks, so that can't possibly be true. The thing with AV infantry is that they want to solo HAVs; personally, I think that all depends on how effective HAVs are. The current HAVs are as effective as 2 infantry, yet only needing one person to operate it. That's why I believe HAVs need the main turret separated from the driver. pé¦pâ+pé¦pâ½pâäpâ¬pâ¦pé¦pâ¼pâ+pâêpü»sñ¬S+ïpéè
Lynn Beck NoGameNoLife 1890	Posted - 2014.06.23 18:23:00 - [17] - Quote It takes 1 player to kill a tank, it's just that tankers that aren't brain dead move to covdr, and thus require 2 people to try and kill. Same with Sentinels. It takes 2 people to kill them, unless that sentinel is brain dead or you catch him in the open. People are complaining that my tank is able to live when your AV shoots at me? 1 person CAN kill me, that's why i ran. Why doesn't a shotgun scout stand in the middle of 3 enemies and try to spin around shotgunnin them? Because he'd die. Against a GOOD scout, it takes either: The scout making a mistake Or 2+ people coordinating to kill him. Marauders need to return, but they need to just be high EHP, low speed/regeneration, and low damage. The lows can be achieved through simply not bonusing them, while bonusing the other hulls to make them the 'high's. Enforcers are long ranged, so they deserve range and damage bonuses, while being 'marginally' slower/weaker, but maybr having a secondary bonus applying to regeneration(Falchion gets Shield recharge rate or Booster Efficacy, while Vayu's get a bonus to Armor Repair efficacy.) We could have another type, the Demolisher, which is a CQC oriented brawler tank, designed to be a hard counter to Marauders. Example bonuses: Role bonus- RoF bonus to large turrets Racial: efficacy to Hardeners or Damage Mods.
