Hey, I was just wondering if we are going to see the Amarr and Minmitar vehicles in dust at all. With the announcement of project legion (I know it's not final), it makes me wonder if they are even on the development plan of next year for DUST.
I want to start using vehicles but I don't want to start investing skill points into the races that I don't like to find that the others are actually planned still :) |

If (And that's a rather nebulous if) they release full racial parity for vehicles, they'll likely do another "partial respec" just like they did when they finally released the full lineup of racial suits.
Anywho, the way vehicles work now, you don't actually invest in any "one" racial vehicle. HAV skills and LAV skills and Derpships alike are identical. If you can fly/drive one, you can fly/drive the other, so you don't really have anything to "lose."
I just suggest if you're planning on waiting for the Amarrian HAVs, focus on your armor skills, and the opposite for the Minnies.

Yeah, that's the plan. I don't want to risk them not giving a respec. I would rather they did not anyway. |

Tank variants and actually ADV hulls were taken away for "reworking." We haven't heard a peep about them since then.
We're certainly not going to get two new racial tanks when they're working on Legion. Pilots aren't allowed options, that's why so much was removed with the release of 1.7.
I may be missing something, but I'm pretty sure that I didn't call for a tank nerf before Uprising 1.7. - Atiim

Yeah, that's why I made this post. As long as they are still on the roadmap I have no problem waiting. I can't wait to switch over to legion if it gets the green light but I also would rather just use the Drop ships we have now instead of waiting for something that isn't going to arrive :) |

I have to disagree with this. I think it makes a lot of business sense to release the missing racial vehicles turrets and heavy weapons in DUST. CCP will need to produce the assets for Legion anyways, so the amount of effort to downscale them for the PS3 is pretty reasonable given the massive upside of having things balanced right out of the gate for Legion. That will translate into better launch reviews which would equal many millions of dollars over time.
They're not ready yet, but I'm expecting a 1.10 with these at some point.
Best PvE idea ever!

Actually, those "options" were removed because Pilots demanded an AV nerf and a vehicle buff, while most AVers refused to engage in balance discussions beyond the "get good" insults.
Though it should be noted that the vast (over 95%) of the Pilots openly advocated and "looked forward" to the changes to vehicles which were brought in 1.7, including you & Takahiro.

But they're not on the road map. We haven't heard anything about them, which means they've been forgotten about. Not accidentally, on purpose.

What's made for PS3 won't transfer over to PC. PC and PS4 are much more alike, which was by design by Sony.
They're literally building a new game from the ground up with Legion.
We're not getting marauders, enforcers or the other racial hulls. They're working on Legion. That's where their development time is going. Do they even have a tentative date for 1.9?

So CCP removed options because we wanted AV nerfed? That doesn't make any sense.

I think it was more a matter of getting a handle on vehicle/AV balance by reducing variables in the overall equation. Vehicle balance has been elusive throughout Dust's growth, and it's been a lot worse than it is now. Losing options as a pilot sucks, but game breaking imbalances suck too. I know I'm not the only one who remembers invincible Logi LAV's. I think the higher tier vehicle options will return, perhaps even with pilot suits to help them really achieve their potential.

That's a fair comment to make.
You don't invest in any one vehicle, though you really should.
However a Partial Respec IF and only IF something like this comes to pass would certainly benefit HAV'ers and other vehicle pilots interested in the Amarr/Minmatar content.
