Draxus Prime BurgezzE.T.F General Tso's Alliance 4056	Posted - 2014.11.11 02:33:00 - [1] - Quote If you don't know a while ago logistical vehicle and remote reps were removed for balancing purposes because they were used as murder taxis. Remote reps were mods that allowed you to repair vehicles and infantry shield and armour remotely from the comfort of your LAV How would I reintroduce them? One more high/low mod compared with their standered counterparts but with around the same pg/cpu as them but with significant bonuses to support modules (mcru,reps,scanner) Then reintroduce the remote reps of course but add new Modules to farther define the role like Statis Webifier = Short range active module that cripples enemy vehicles by slowing them down and deactivivating all active mods Remote coolant = Locks on to friendly vehicles and reduces heat buildup Remote Cache = A active module that once activated is essentialy a nanohive that also works for vehicles Energy Vampire = Locks enemy vehicles and drains their shield Emp burst = A active module that once activated destroys all equipment in a radius and damage enemy shields at the cost of the depletion of your shields (would be pretty useful on a logi dropship for clearing rooftop uplinks) Nanite Storm = aoe module with long cooldown that revives all teammates in the radius Of course do this when "vehicle vs AV is balanced" Thoughts? Suggestions for mods? "War determines not who is right, but who is left." Closed Beta Vet Scout before it was cool

Byozuma Kegawa Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 352	Posted - 2014.11.11 05:55:00 - [9] - Quote I can see having a lower top speed than a normal LAV, but not that slow. Defeats the purpose of being an LAV, speed over defense. Though a repair tool turret does sounds neat and would address the terrible aim of the remote repair module. Would have to worry about manning it if they don't have it controlled like an HAV's main gun.

Please include that A thousand times this. If a tank can instagib your expensive support LAV by grazing the side of it, it'll be useless. When people used to try using LLAVs, you could often see a tank reversing away from AV and straight into the unlucky LLAV, instakilling it. It also prevents HAVs being used to grief friendly LAVs. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake. Currently challenging CCP Rattati for the queef

There was a thread about vehicle balance in Features & Ideas that I noted the inherently flawed premise of the Logi LAV, and stated that it was ultimately impossible to balance- either it would be useless or it would be the ultimate roadkill bus. This is very much correct. The idea of having a Logistics LAV to have the purpose of being slow, high hp and follow the tank. An MAV would be the go to thong for this category. Using an LAV for this seems very...insane. Having a convertible to be a Logistics vehicle for a tank? Yeah...looks good on paper, most likely wouldn't work in game play (although I could be wrong). I'd rather see the LLAV to be more based towards infantry support. Why not give the LLAV a supply depot, and or a better infantry armor rep / infantry shield regulator field mechanism. I feel LLAVs should be geared more towards infantry frontline support, assault support. MAVs (lol I wish) should be the ones that are in between and would be the ideal Vehicle Logistics vehicle. Essentially it's the in between. Medium speed, medium Hp, decent damage application to both Infantry and vehicle but not excelling at both by it's turrets alone. CCP holds the Caldari's hand so this doesn't happen again.

Just lower its armor/shield tanking ability via pg or cpu reduction, and make the vehicle or infantry armor slot a default module in eihter the highs for the gallente or a low for the caldari. It can rep the tank quickly, but would be a prime target for any AV, must keep out of sight on not contantly rep like a logi would. Redline for Thee, but no Redline for Me.
Thurak1 Psygod9 1022	Posted - 2014.11.11 08:43:00 - [20] - Quote I think the logi lav should be able to repair tanks and infanrty along with being a mobile resupply point. Give then triage points on a similar line as repairing armor on infantry. Give them a module to repair infantry also if they wish to install it. Then a module that can be used to refill ammo for infantry and tanks. This would be something that would either deplete or maybe just have a short activation duration with a somewhat long cooldown. As far as the good old roadkill days go with the newer mechanics to get a roadkill those days are gone. It used to be hitting infantry with a car at nearly any speed was a roadkil. As far as hitpoints go the LLAV should not have the hitpoints of a tank. They are more maneuverable and should have to use the tank as a shield to stay alive.

shaman oga The Dunwich Horror 3101	Posted - 2014.11.11 09:08:00 - [21] - Quote FIRST OF ALL: disable friendly vehicles collision damage. Then armor and shield transport modules should work like hives, have to lock the ray is fine in EVE, but it doesn't work well in Dust. The resistance on LLAVs was crazy, a little resistance would be good, but 59% perma resistance on 2500 shield was crazy (but AV was crazy too, back in the days) Then WP, nobody want to play an entire match without earn WP, rep vehicles should give WP maybe at a lower rate than rep infantry, but still it should.

The old method was clunky as hell and error prone. This might be extremely beneficial. Reskin a blaster rust colored and call it an armor rep. Reskin one gray and call it a shield transporter.

Stefan Stahl Seituoda Taskforce Command 839	Posted - 2014.11.11 12:29:00 - [31] - Quote Sgt Kirk wrote: I'd rather see the LLAV to be more based towards infantry support. I agree. All light vehicles should be focused around their synergy with infantry. Otherwise we'll have a situation where, to fulfill it's vehicle support role, it requires an amount of hp that makes it almost immune to infantry. As an infantry support vehicle the LLAV can go by on under 3-4000 hp. If you bring a forge that thing will be dead in seconds. But as long as the LLAV isn't parked in the front line it can be used to support infantry. Supply scans, ammo and reps in a comparatively large area, be a spawn point and maybe provide some means of cover. Maybe a bubble shield if static for more than 5 seconds? Or a damage resistance bonus within 30 meters if static long enough? Stuff like that. The logistics dropship would have a similar focus on providing support to infantry. Repair and restock everyone inside, become a supply depot if static for a while. Grant damage resistance to everyone that drops from it for up to 50 meter range (with a nice nanite-tentacle from the LDS to the dropped trooper to show the effect to everyone). Things like that. If any vehicle should lean towards vehicle support it'd be the LDS. It spends 90% of its time within LOS of rail- and forgeguns anyway. Even in order to supply infantry support it'd have to have a considerable tank. On the other hand the pilot can't just bail out of it and open up with his HMG like he could if he was in a tanky LAV.

They resistance were broke - they had +25% resistance without any skills or modules for free, and they could increase it with LLAV skill +2%/lvl, also if someone fitted(first) hardener to LLAV it did not get penalty. They had harder tank then any HAV at the time, and they were fast to all of it. This was reported several times but instead CCP made 'murder taxi' changes, and simply remove LLAV. Draxus Prime wrote: Remote reps were mods that allowed you to repair vehicles and infantry shield and armour remotely from the comfort of your LAV Unfortunately, this feature was least used on LLAV's.. but it could fix two targets 100m from LLAV; this stats were changing over time and new patches Draxus Prime wrote: Thoughts?

Ow and locking system were always weak to say at least, it was difficult to lock Heavy with it especially if he was in crowd(not to mention how hard was to lock scout). I always suggested that if we had option to chose from list our 'lock' instead of targeting 'lock' it would be much easier for everyone, or if Remote Repair module was aerial module that works like giant Repairing Nanohive.. targeting system was problematic because small box could cut repairing beam, and you had to chase that target once again. Whole history of LLAV was like CCP telling us, community that they do not care about feedback on this subject(at least sophisticated one - when everyone cried about 'murder taxi' they finely did something).

CELESTA AUNGM Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 324	Posted - 2014.11.11 16:59:00 - [37] - Quote Logi-ANYTHING should feel like the conclusion of a playerGÇÖs hard work and grind. This way sheGÇÖs at least had the opportunity to learn alot about the gear and actions that help others in combat. And even when sheGÇÖs finally obtained a Logi-vehicle, she should still need to skill into further special modules that only a logi vehicle can effectively use. It should also feel like a SPECIALTY, rewarding only a player who LIKES to do that Logi workGÇöit shouldnGÇÖt have advanced destructive powers that will make every assault player want to add it to his collection. A strictly-slayer player ought to feel kind of bored trying out a logi-vehicle, and the logi player should really feel like sheGÇÖs having FUN using this vehicle. If the Logi vehicle is too strictly GÇ£pre-steeredGÇ¥ by CCP into one GÇ£roleGÇ¥ for a vehicle or infantry, then it WONGÇÖT be fun. Like CCP expressed about the GÇ£roleGÇ¥ of the ADS vehicle, the PLAYER ought to be defining the role she wants to try to use the logi vehicle for. A Logi-anything is supposed to help other players better control areas, bounce back from damage faster, negotiate obstacles and gaps easier. Since Dust is about foot-play primarily, it make sense that even Logi vehicles should be geared to assist INFANTRY foremost, and have a secondary ability to assist other vehicles (just not as easily as they can for infantry). The logi vehicleGÇÖs features should be tricky or demanding to use, so a player canGÇÖt easily exploit a GÇ£logiGÇ¥ vehicle as a new kind of proto-weapon. (If itGÇÖs GÇ£LogiGÇ¥, itGÇÖs not for killing---itGÇÖs for helping fellow players as THEY do the killing.) --A logi LAV with a passive repper or passive nanohive permanently built-in makes sense (get healed/resupplied just by climbing in the seat/turret). --A logi LAV having a Scanner permanently built-in make sense (sweep an objective ahead of infantry raiding the objective). --A logi HAV with that can hold two additional infantry passengers (no turret use) might make sense. --A logi HAV with a permanently built-in remote-repper for healing other vehicles makes sense. --A Logi DS with the mobile CRU built in always made a certain amount of sense. --A Logi DS with a passive supply depot built in for infantry makes sense (get resupplied simply by standing beside a resting or hovering DS). Make these logi abilities EXCLUSIVE to each vehicle type (only a logi HAV can remote-rep, or only a logi LAV can heal its passengers, only a logi DS can re-supply footmercs just by being near them, etc). Every logi vehicle should have at least one NATVIE logi ability the moment you buy it. Keep the logi abilities of the vehicles SIMPLE, so players can have latitude how they want to use the abilities in the matches, and can have fun being inventive. Make specific (propulsion, repper, supply) modules that only fit logi vehicles, in special added GÇ£logi slotsGÇ¥ that will only accept logi modulesGÇöthey canGÇÖt be use to fit and stack more regular modules. Give the logi vehicle the necessary extra native PG and CPU, so it can handle its collection of regular modules plus these logi-module slots. Give the Logi vehicles the bonus of slightly higher native EHP, to allow them a little more lingering power but not enough to give them any more "fighting" power than non-logi vehicles. Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne... No story can have life without writers and publishers.

Go back to your drawing board. Terrible idea And Spkr-4 is RIGHT. Every logi-vehicle must have at least one logi-ability, and natively built into it. Right from the day you buy it, it needs to be able to do something passive or active (helpful to fellow blues, NOT offensively destructive to reds) that no regular vehicle can be pimped to do.

Otherwise we'll spend months trying to balance it all out, add capacitors and then do it all over again. Capacitors truly are the key to having a rich vehicle system with Logistics LAVs, etc. I'd also like to echo the suggestion that remote reps get moved to a small turret. Best PvE idea ever!

Slow them down but their high resists remain. I would may even specialise them a bit further say a logi lav designed to heal and maybe resupply infantry would only have a high resistance to vehicle based weponry like large and small turrets and less resistance (but not too low) to AV thusly requiring it to remain near friendly infantry and vice a versa for the vehicle repair and resupply lavs .
