CoochMaster Flex Contract Hunters 6	Posted - 2014.10.23 01:53:00 - [1] - Quote Sooooooo, I'm friends with a lot of good tankers. And they always get into tank battles with other tanks (obviously). Sometimes when they're winning, the other tanker always hops out of the tank with either a forge gun or swarm launcher. It's kind of irritating from their perspective. A lot agreed with to release the pilot suits already, Cuz we all know it's stupid when a heavy with a forge is driving a tank. It would be smart that dropships and tanks can only be commandeered by a pilot suit. I'm sure a lot of other good tankers would agree. Let's put an end to the cheap tactics people use CCP. One small step at a time. It's not about how much sheild and armor you stack to win. It's how you use the suit to win.

The best thing that a vehicle user can do for themselves is invest in anti-vehicle . What's considered a fair fight in this game anyway ? Is it fair that a scout can see every suit on the field , while a heavy is basically blind .?. or is that just the nature of the role ??? If I hop out of a derp and use a forge is that considered a cheap tactic or is that just chalked up as someone who comes prepared , just like those who hop out of a LAV with a HMG , Forge or a Swarm .... same with a HAV ? Why is it in most cases , when someone doesn't like what someone else does that's actually a strategic highlight ( preparedness ) someone comes to the forum in an attempt to castrate that form of play which most of the time ends up in a nerf ? Let's put an end to the crying instead . Delta should come with a SP or infantry SP refund so that a campaign for one is not needed .

You probably don't worry about it cuz you don't tank. And you and I both know heavy taxi is a cheap tactic. Scout and a heavy are completely 2 different drop suits with different perks and are meant for doing completely different things on the field. It's all about common sense. It's not about how much sheild and armor you stack to win. It's how you use the suit to win.

Its infinitely more powerful than any AV and you are almost guaranteed to catch them with their pants down. They also wont have time to get out of the tank.

Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens Capital Punishment. 2052	Posted - 2014.10.23 03:10:00 - [13] - Quote No Tanker/Pilot that thinks about it for an extended period of time wants Pilot Suits. Here are the possible scenarios: Scenario A: Tanks/Dropships are balanced without Pilot Suits and very powerful with Pilot Suits. This means that adding them is simply a buff to the power of vehicles when they are already in an okay spot. Scenario B: Tanks/Dropships are weak without Pilot Suits and good/balanced with them. This means that it is just a flat out SP sink for pilots in order to utilize their role as it is supposed to be, In short, it is either a wrench into the balance of vehicles or it is just "vehicles users need to invest more SP to get what they want." Also, how the hell would they work? What would be the reason to use a Prototype Suit over a Basic Suit? Would it just be totally naked with some modules that help in 'some way'? Again, back to SP sinks and more ISK sinks. Basically, balance vehicles without adding in SP sinks. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"
DARU Prime Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 4	Posted - 2014.10.23 03:11:00 - [14] - Quote Here is an idea that fixes both issues. Yes add the damn pilot suit already. The option to buy them is in the market but they are.... absent. The skill isn't in the skill tree and damn it, it should be. I won't use it but there are plenty of players who do. As for players popping out and firing and popping in. Why not add an amination that makes our characters climb in and out of ALL vehicles?
DELB0Y 67	Posted - 2014.10.23 03:12:00 - [15] - Quote I think pilot suits should be restricted to side arms only. That would stop some of the more crap tankers jumping out with AV weapons then they are about to lose their vehicle. An equipment slot would still be nice though but I wouldn't allow grenades as the crap tankers would be too tempted to fit AV grenades too. You give up our position one more time, I'll bleed you, real quiet, and leave you here. Got that?

It's only made for VEHICLES. Not your average scout. It's not about how much sheild and armor you stack to win. It's how you use the suit to win.

Not like they have to be anything special other the conveya static 10-20% bonuse and followed by 1-2% bonuses per level. I could very easily and willingly invest my spare 4.8 Million SP to develop my role further, better my HAV by even a slight percentage, and the see the rest of the AV community man the **** up and copping out when they lose a fight.

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 9853	Posted - 2014.10.23 03:19:00 - [21] - Quote I agree completely. I stopped counting a long time ago how many times I nearly killed an LAV with either a Swarm Launcher or a pair of Ishukone Nova Knives only to see a fat sentinel pop out with an HMG and mow me down. And yes, I also want to see a boarding/unboarding animation implemented. On Twitter: @HilmarVeigar #greenlightlegion #dust514 players are waiting.

Perhaps just a "hacking animation" (hold circle until the ring fills, fills faster for squad mates than blueberries, etc) would suffice for now. Not sure how this would stack with the recall timer thoughGÇª Dust was real! I was there! Dear diary, Rattati senpai noticed me today~

Doesn't even have to be an animation, just make it have a hack timer for like 3 seconds to get in, and 3 seconds to get out. So no more running away from losing an infantry fight by instantly disappearing into your vehicle, and no more instantly jumping out of a vehicle when you're losing a vehicle battle. That would also help secure a few more dropship pilot kills as they always have to drop all the way to the ground before they explode and actually endanger the pilot. O.G. Pink Fluffy Bunny

It is entirely possible to give pilot suits worthwhile bonuses while also keeping vehicle balanced. We just need to find out what. Personally, I think vehicles need a complete overhaul again and built with pilot suits, higher tiered/T2 vehicles, more module variety, and racial parody in mind. Dust was real! I was there!

You can still get out and run away in shame. It's just the hopping out the last second with a forge or swarm and finishing the job Cuz your tank couldn't. That's what the point is. It's not about how much sheild and armor you stack to win. It's how you use the suit to win.

If I hop out of a derp and use a forge is that considered a cheap tactic or is that just chalked up as someone who comes prepared , just like those who hop out of a LAV with a HMG , Forge or a Swarm .... same with a HAV ? Why is it in most cases , when someone doesn't like what someone else does that's actually a strategic highlight ( preparedness ) someone comes to the forum in an attempt to castrate that form of play which most of the time ends up in a nerf ? Let's put an end to the crying instead . Decorum and some semblence of proper context. Power playing dorks don't care about it so CCP needs to put those restrictions in the game. That one would not understand this is exactly the reason it needs to happen. This anything goes mentality makes the game suck more. Yeah, let's just all throw on the heavy suit. After all, there really isn't any drawback. THIS IS THE VOICE OF RÁN

deezy dabest IMPERIAL SPECIAL FORCES GROUP 1033	Posted - 2014.10.23 04:25:00 - [35] - Quote I would much rather see some bonus from the pilot suit that gives the person using it a significant advantage in vehicle versus vehicle combat. Locking dropships to pilot suits would hurt the flow of battle badly. Currently the only way to put out roof top uplinks in most places is to fly yourself there and the same goes for taking out a rooftop stronghold. Locking tanks to pilot suits seems a little too limiting to playstyle which goes against the real fun of Dust. I see almost nothing but positives when it comes to locking takes to them but fair is fair. The possible solution to your problem as well as the heavy / LAV problem would be a short exit animation so that the pilot goes down with his vehicle when it blows up. If he jumps out when it is not blowing up he is pretty much giving up his vehicle. LAVs locked to pilot suits = better off removing LAVs if we are going to talk about that.

While I don't pilot anything anymore (I miss my militia LAV) I haven't seen alot of pilots ditching because 'they lost the vehicle duel'. They ditch because there's an infantry with AV dancing around them like a hot potato. No duel, they are getting eaten by spry little infantry. So you jump out and eat back. On that note, I don't often see pilots in exclusive AV fits. I see mostly commando and HMG sentinels. You know, suits ready to eat little scouts for breakfast then get a truckin'. Of the times I do see AV jump out it's often to deal with dropships cause hell if those things can fly circles around a tank with impunity. Not saying pilot dropsuits wouldn't be interesting, just scale back the hate over pilots not in tissue paper dropsuits. They're just protecting their investments like anyone else.

Again I don't main vehicles so my opinion isn't the best but this is a rough idea of how I could see them used. You can't do PG/CPU per level. Think about it, how would that work when you're in the vehicle fitting tab? Will assume you have enough fitting space? What about calling in a vehicle and you switch suits, will you suddenly not be able to drive the vehicle? I wish you could, but I really don't think it's possible. I do like the idea of reintroducing active armor/shield repairs (make them 'ancillary' repairs/boosters for short bursts of a lot of hp, shields will get another booster that boosts less but more over time than others). I think a lot of mods should be considered and reintroduced, though honestly I think a whole vehicle revamp is in order to do so. As for skill bonuses, I think is should go: Role Bonus: Can fit Vehicle Link Mods. 2% efficacy and -2% fitting to Vehicle Link Mods (mods that go on the dropsuits that buff vehicle performance. Lore-wise it can say they enhance the mental capabilities of the pilot, increase the clone's resilience to vehicle stresses, and improve neural connection between pilot and vehicle). Amarr: +Armor hp and resistance Cal: +Shield hp and resistance Gal: +Armor repair amount and maneuverability Min: +Shield repair and acceleration There each has bonuses to a specific racial tank and divides them into more defensive and offensive specialties. Perhaps those second bonuses could be tinkered with, but it's an idea. I am pretty set on the first ones, though. And of course, vehicles and vehicle mods should receive buffs/nerfs in line with these suits to keep them balanced. There should be a noticeable difference between a pilot suit and a non-pilot suit in a vehicle. Dust was there! I was real! Dear diary, Rattati senpai noticed me today~

This means that adding them is simply a buff to the power of vehicles when they are already in an okay spot. Scenario B: Tanks/Dropships are weak without Pilot Suits and good/balanced with them. This means that it is just a flat out SP sink for pilots in order to utilize their role as it is supposed to be, In short, it is either a wrench into the balance of vehicles or it is just "vehicles users need to invest more SP to get what they want." Also, how the hell would they work? What would be the reason to use a Prototype Suit over a Basic Suit? Would it just be totally naked with some modules that help in 'some way'? Again, back to SP sinks and more ISK sinks. Basically, balance vehicles without adding in SP sinks. That's a Black or White Fallacy. It is entirely possible to give pilot suits worthwhile bonuses while also keeping vehicle balanced. We just need to find out what. Personally, I think vehicles need a complete overhaul again and built with pilot suits, higher tiered/T2 vehicles, more module variety, and racial parody in mind. EDIT: To the point of how would they work. No idea, currently. Though the idea of "Vehicle Link" mods (similar to command link mods of Eve, basically just mods that effect vehicle performance) could be introduced and only Pilot suits can fit them. They get 2/3/4 slot layout per tier (or something), meaning more incentive to use higher tiers. Yes, I was originally going to include the third (I usually do) but wanted to post for expediency. I have made the post so many times in the past when people have asked for Pilot Suits. The other one I usually have: Scenario C: Vehicles have balance in some fashion and Pilot suits had minor bonuses that do not upset that. The question is what could be added that makes the sink of millions of SP worthwhile? The reason why I didn't include C is because I kind of already included it in the "how could they work in such a way as to avoid A and B?" As a previous user mentioned, making it % to defense and speed/maneuverability seems like a good idea. I get a bit better because I put 3 more million into vehicles then you did. But you run into the same problem of balance. CCP would have an idea where the numbers are meant to be. In most cases, you run into 80-100 or 100-100+ for without-with Pilot Suits. Even if that plus is just a minor benefit, you are still pulling out more than what we could have originally. Several months ago when AV was not as powerful as it is now, the idea of Pilot Suits was just seen as "vehicles are either too good or fine now." Now, with AV being more devastating, the notion can swing into "give vehicles suits so we can catch back up." It might be black and white but only because the gray aspect has us shrugging so very hard on what it could possibly be. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

So is JJing and I'm not complaining about that , they get the kill and I don't and they get the points for the vehicular kill as well .. now is that fair for the tanker if you really want to talk like it seems that True is talking ( not calling you out True ) because that's getting away free . At least in True's case , he still got the tank kill and in most cases the driver too . Delta should come with a SP or infantry SP refund so that a campaign for one is not needed .

So everyone is talking about pilot suits improving defense/eHP. But what if CCP re-introduced, already a long shot =), active armor hardners/passive shields and brought down the PG/CPU for tanks/dropships? Then they could do something along the lines of. Amarr Suit Bonus- x% PG/CPU per level Amarr Racial Bonus- x% Active Repair Cooldown. Minmitar Suit Bonus- x% PG/CPU per level Minmitar Racial Bonus- x% Vehicle movement speed ( might sounds like it sucks but it doesn't I swear!) Gallente Suit Bonus- x% PG/CPU per level Gallente Racial Bonus- x% Passive armor repair Caldari Suit Bonus- x% PG/CPU per level Caldari Racial Bonus- x% Passive shield Repair (could end up being OP maybe?) Anything that wasn't covered by the individual suit could be covered by the modules having their own very minor bonuses ala open beta(?). Again I don't main vehicles so my opinion isn't the best but this is a rough idea of how I could see them used. Even more simple: Pilot suit bonus--2% to CPU and PG per level, 2% shield (Caldari, Minmatar) or 2% armor (Amarr, Gallente) resistance per level Racial bonus: Amarr--2% to armor plates per level Gallente--2% to armor reps per level Caldari--2% to shield extenders per level Minmatar--2% to shield regen rate (amount, not time) per level Mike Patton is the greatest singer in music.

Just have white as the base colour with deep purple highlights on a scout, give it different slots and call it a pilot. Then make a Quafe version and money$$$ 44/4 in a BPO Scout (1.8) 40/5 in a Proto Assault (1.7) `- Open Beta Vet - 30.5mil sp -` R.I.P Dust 514

My Boss is former special forces for Israel. They teach a fighting style called Krav Maga, and someone once asked him what he'd do if they got into a fight. His response was "See that log there? I'd pick it up and beat you with it until you were dead" the response was "But that's not fair." His response is was a variants of a quote that I love when "but that's not fair" comes up: If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan your mission properly. or If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck. CCP gives us a sandbox, we get to make our own game. I was playing with a employee of CCP yesterday and I mentioned some of the ways players have come up with tactics that CCP never intended. He told me, flat out, that the DEVs will stand and applaud at some of the things players have developed. We probably won't get the pilot suit (of course, I also thought we'd never get 1.9) but if someone drives a tank and then has a Kaalakatoia Forge with them, good on them. They were prepared for the inevitable loss of their tank and what was needed to accomplish their ultimate goal. To kill you. There's one little tiny distinction between Dust and an actual war scenario. Dust is a video game that is meant to be fun and enjoyable. War is not fun or enjoyable. Fair fights in a video game are usually more enjoyable for all involved than a fight with cheap mechanics. I really just do not understand the "I must be a try-hard all the time no matter what" mentality some people have in video games. *FIRE UP THE HEAVY MEAT GRINDER!

Since dust tanks aren't effective against infantry the heavy will normally survive the encounter. And it is a sleazy tactic, typical of EVE however. My favorite tank is a Lightning. Just sayin.
