And finally.

NO YELLOW PAINT

Why?

Assaults are white for both Derpships and suit, and Logies yeller, what would you have it?

Black is sexy <3 Almost as sexy as dark metallic royal purple with GOLDEN HIGHLIGHTS AND TRIM <3

But yes, black would be pretty.

Personally, I want a tricked out Maddie with a hard tank, weaponry as a pure afterhtought (Hell, can I have two secondaries and no primary turret?), remote support modules and a CRU... While I'm asking for unicorns, a mobile Supply Depot as well.

I would slowly drive this iron-sided clone-spawning ammo-giving shield-repping HAV right in the thick of my own infantry advance, granting cover and gloriously pushing the front forward.

Did you read my post at all?

Lol

Yes, and I'm telling you that every part in it I don't care about besides the Logi HAV (as it was in your title), and what I want out of your post. ^^

I also don't believe (hence the unicorns part) that I would ever be able to free up precious CPU and PG by removing my main turret.

I also started daydreaming half way through the post too

Because yellow is ugly as sin. Make them black, because team support is badass.

i happen to like how my guristas saga looks thank you and i would like it to stay the color it is.

Please lets not talk Logi HAV.

Logi MAV sure.....but who is going to design a front line HAV unit that can only rep?

Because yellow is ugly as sin. Make them black, because team support is badass.

I liked them yellow.

Fly like a LAV, hit like a HAV.

If you actually read, it could still fight, it just isn't good at it. It's a fire support unit that provides strong support for other heavy armor.

It's an augmenting unit, not a rambo kill everything solo unit.

Teamwork.

Personally, I want RR to be turret based. That way the can be justifiably more powerful than modules (requiring more people to operate) and don't have all the problems of module based RR (such as, and not limited to, having to be turned off when lock is lost, etc).

It's a fair suggestion and definitely worthy of considering.... given what we've seen CCP do with HAV in the past I'd think they'd just bring out their old variations.

Maruaders - EHP
Enforcers - Alpha
Black Ops - Support/EWAR?

Still I do miss the days when Logi Vehicle Spider repping was a thing.

As a whole, logistics class vehicles should provide a mobile staging point through durable, efficient team support. In this respect, as a concept, logistics vehicles should be seen as something with very low offensive capabilities, and high defensive ones. Let's kick things off in that light

Logistics Static Modifier: 50% RoF reduction for all fitted turrets. 10% Efficiency bonus to remote repair modules.

Logistics Non Racial Skill Modifier: 4% increase to turret RoF, 3% efficiency bonus to remote repair modules

Logistics vehicles should be approximately 30% less mobile than their counterparts (ADS, for dropships), and conversely, should have around 30% more base tank. They should also have one additional high and low slot over their counterparts, with the PG and CPU to match. The RoF penalty, even with max skill (30%) should still be significant enough to offset their significant armor. Designed to be slower moving and firing, a smart opponent would engage in hit and runs to wear these vehicles down.

MODULE CHANGES:

Advanced and Protoype MCRUs. For starters, just make them harder to fit, with faster spawn times. Easy.

Light Remote Shield Repairer: Module range 20 meter radius. Fires one pulse within this radius that instantly regenerate friendly infantry X shields, with Y cooldown. No lock on time

Heavy Remote Shield Repairer: Module range 75 meters. Fires one pulse that instantly regenerates a friendly vehicle X shields, with Y cooldown. 5 second lock on time.

Light Remote Armor Repairer: Module range 25 meter radius. Sends out a remote beam to each friendly infantry within the radius, regenerating X armor over 10 seconds, with Y cooldown. No lock on time.

Heavy Remote Armor Repairer: Module range 50 meters. Send out a remote beam to target friendly vehicle, repairing X armor for 20 seconds, with Y cooldown. 5 second lock on time.

Light Remote Damage Amplifier: Module range 15 meter radius. 10 second duration. Friendly infantry within the initial pulse gain X damage boost. Y cooldown.

Heavy Remote Damage Amplifier: Module range 30 meters. 15 second duration. Friendly vehicle gains X damage boost. 5 second lock on. Stacking penalties for active damage amplifies apply, both local and remote.

Mobile Depot: As it sounds, a mobile supply depot that doesn't repair armor. Decreased rate of supply, 10 second cooldown between switching suits.

A note about remote armor reps. If possible, the effect should only be suspended if a target moves out of the repairers range. For light repairers, any infantry who steps into the radius while active will be effected. For heavy, the original target that moves back into range will be auto locked and continue repairs for the remainder of the duration, or until they move out of range again.

Racial bonuses could include (not all together, commas indicate a separate bonus)

- Scanner; increased precision, increased range, decreased cooldown / longer duration
- MCRU; faster spawns, decreased fitting cost
- Mobile Depot: Reduced fitting cost
- Remote Reps: Increased range, decreased cooldown, decreased lock on time
- Remote Damage Amp: Increased range, decreased cooldown, decreased lock on time

And finally.

Make them Black, because team support is badass

*special note* Large Railguns may need some looking at for Logistics HAVs, as the RoF penalty will be less significant for those who would simply camp the redline, negating their speed disadvantage while just building for high alpha and tank.

*special note 2* No Logistics vehicle should come prefit with anything, such as MCRUs or Remote Reps. Everything needs to be fit by the operator.

A range bonus is pretty worthless by itself, reps should be rewarded for logi vehicles, and just supplementary for others. 5 seconds keeps it from being wicked easy, and like I mentioned, skills could lower that. This rewards situational awareness and makes a pilot think a little more rather than just pressing the panic button.

Heres a quick question: why should assault vehicles be powerful healing units? Does that mean you want logi vehicles to be powerful assault units?

the assault vehicles should be good at healing. The logi vehicles should be the best at healing.
you don't take light weapons away from the heavy, you just give the heavies something that they are better at.

How is giving heavies higher DPS weapons different from giving logistics vehicles stronger reps?

I want vehicles to have roles, and be good at them. If there is no noticeable bonus to healing or support, logi vehicles dont really have much of a role. I dont see why you would add a support class, and then give the assault class the exact same support capabilities. Like I said, a strong fitting bonus would be acceptable, so an assault vehicle would have to sacrifice to make itself a support vehicle.

Honestly, if taken literally, your example of heavy weapon heavies would impky that ONLY logi vehicles should have remote reps, since ONLY heavies can have heavy weapons.

Alright.
But be aware; exclusive modules are the worst modules.
