iam preety sure assault dropships are direct upgrades of std dropship hulls.....just that the pilot gets a gun.

marauder havs were actually slower than their std hull counter parts and cost a fck ton of isk to run.

fully proto fitted surya would cost you at least 2.6mill isk

fully proto fittied madruar would have been 1.4mill.

hmm these prices seem to resemble ADS and DS isk costs.

ADS are actually not pure upgrades. They have less passenger capacity and less HP than basic hulls. They make a sacrifices to get something. I think they even have less PG/CPU as well.
The Marauders never actually did this(except for ISK which can't be balanced around) they were just regular HAVs with more CPU/PG(possibly more base HP, I can't remember). The point is that if Marauders were implemented in the same way that they were, there would be no reason (other than ISK, and PC throws the concept of balancing around ISK out the window) not to use one.
I actually have the same issue with the current Assault suits. They are pure upgrades to Basic Frames. This is why I am a huge supporter of Basic frames getting a second equipment slot and other various buffs to bring them up to a different par.
I may have worded that wrong though. Marauders can come back, but not like they were.

Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 2493	Posted - 2014.10.01 01:22:00 - [6] - Quote LLAVs were a great idea but horribly overpowered, even with the bumper-car damage nerf, I would love to see a shield transfer module come back though. LDS never had a problem with, those were sexy and great, though I think they might run the risk of being the "new" Gunship given the new HP buffs and small turret tweaks. I'd like to see a rebalanced version with the MCRU as the focus as well as resist bonuses, NOT a big PG or CPU to avoid abuse. Enforcers were... Odd... Not sure I see the point still, though the Caldari Enforcer was pretty sexy only due to the extra low slot (You could do some disgusting things if you put a Complex Powerplant in that...), but with the new HAV slot system it would be a pain to properly balance them besides some stupid range or damage bonus... Marauders, those were never really balanced, though at one point they did seem pretty close. I'd be interested in a Marauder frame where the CPU and PG are buffed, and it grants regen bonuses per rank, but the base speed is 50% of normal. Make it good for a slugfest but difficult to pull out of an area, and run the risk of a normal HAV flanking you due to your poor speed. In a perfect world I'd be against an LLAV and LDS, and make the "LDS" a Heavy Aircraft and the "LLAV" the MAV with a closed-compartment driver, slow, and built-in vehicle reppers/shield transporters. Too slow to road kill infantry but more durable then LAVs. "You see those red dots over there? Go and shoot them until you see a +50 on the screen" - Arkena Wyrnspire

The scout LAV was useless, and the logi DS was a brick that didn't get a bonus for spawn time reduction.

Fizzer XCIV Company of Marcher Lords Amarr Empire 363	Posted - 2014.10.01 02:01:00 - [10] - Quote Logi vehicles were always useless... ...Not useless, but they were almost never actually used form the reason they were intended for. LLAVs just ended up being murder taxis. I really don't see any reason for them to return. At least not in the form they were in. They would probably have to be slower, much slower. But at that point we might as well just make the eventual (someday... maybe) MAVs the Logistics ground vehicle. LDSs weren't a problem, but they were rather useless. They ended up just being tankier transport dropships. I really wish that these ships would have gotten more "equipment modules" to make them useful. Stuff like repair tool turrets that would basically be up sized repair tools, Nanite Field Generators that would resupply Anny nearby allies, and stuff like that. Scout LAVs were just weak. Their speed advantage was pointless. Honestly, I would like to see these come back as dedicated Ewar vehicles. Maybe even vehicle cloaks that only they could fit? Marauders cannot come back in any way. They were just pure upgrades to the standard hulls. They would need to be completely redone. Enforcers at least gave up something for their bonuses, but they were a little too rare(probably due to their price)... I would like to see those come back.

Alena Ventrallis Vengeance Unbound Dark Taboo 1849	Posted - 2014.10.01 02:01:00 - [11] - Quote Logi DS do not need to focus on the mCRU. mCRU should remain a module with some utility, but there isn't much one can do to improve an mCRU in interesting ways. Logi DS should focus on repair of vehicles, and resupply of vehicle ammo. Perhaps some infantry support abilities, but their focus should be on keeping friendly vehicles in the fight.

As I mentioned, Logi DS should focus on supporting vehicles much like logi suits focus on supporting dropsuits. Reintroduce the vehicle reppers, and give logi DS a bonus to them, for range and amount or whatever bonus. SLAVs should have some scanning capability (perhaps passive scans built in) LLAV should support infantry, but not with that worthless repper they had before. I'm thinking like a built in compact nanohive (increased range, obviously) and reintroduce the vehicle rep modules for them.
