70 kills this month, 7k WP?

I'm sorry but you can't tackle something like this without extensive time playing the game and some decent SP into vehicles/AV.

Like I said though, most of the dedicated vehicle pilots are gone or could just careless.

We've been trying to talk, but the problem is, we don't want our playstyle to get ruined. Everybody on here was crying about the end of Dust when CCP were going to nerf the Cal logi and TAR rifles. They got nerfed, and everybody went back to their regularly scheduled programing.

Again, we don't want our playstyle nerfed. What is wrong and unacceptable is how infantry have been dictating the direction vehicles go in for such a long time. There is no compromise to be reached, pilots have been shafted for over 2 years, and we're in this current state because of that. Swarms travel to where a vehicle was then continue on at greater speed to hit their target 9 times out of 10. There's still a problem with invisible swarms, because I can be behind a wall, or behind a hill or crate, so they achieve lock behind their cover, aim up or to the side, and launch the swarms, and half the time I can't see the missiles. It's always the same thing. Infantry complains about how hard it is to destroy tanks, yet it's the noobs in MLT vehicles that they're having trouble with. They'd have a stroke trying to destroy me. Yet, when I go against a squad full of people from some country, such as the Japanese or Russians, they have absolutely no problem with 4 guys going AV to destroy me. They do it quite often, and destroy me half the time.

1.9 was great, but there's still that huge problem of pilots having no say in the direction vehicles take. Rattati admitted that he had sole discretion on changing swarms and the ADS, without consulting any pilots whatsoever. There haven't been any word on the stats concerning the ADS since the hotfix. We have no idea as to what's going on with that, because it's being kept private.

Infantry dictating the direction of vehicles needs to stop. There has to be discussion with both sides, not one-sided.

Pokey Darvon approached me yesterday and he's willing to help out so I look forward to it.

His placeholder idea has been met with mixed feelings but I am sure if a strong enough case is presented it can be made so and hopefully that will be the first domino to get the unique models in going.

As for other things he is more than willing to help out when I talked about it last night but right now i am still rigging the document up...

So far based on my usual ongoings. This is beginning to look like a 50 page + ordeal and will need a table of contents.

Update on the document; its at 50 pages now and drawing some art for it; will be getting public draft soon.

Just need to stop getting distracted by the 3 ring scanners, the bandwidth and whatever else ccp rattati might announce.

LAV turrets need an armor plate similar to what's supplied on the drop ship or their gunner.
Way too easy to be shot out of the gunner seat, especially if you want it to be frontline support.

Also, Covert Vehicles capable of cloaking. Fresh yes?

Caldari Cloaked Dropship coming in to drop enemies on the roof because they are getting redlined is exciting. Especially when they get orbitaled by my Hybrid Strike from space

I jus want anti shield AV so we can highlight how weak vehicles are against AV. Right now most pilots run shields because it actually gives you a tiny bit of breathing room. Nevermind the complete lack of fit diversity. I just don't have any hope that CCP can find balance between vehicles and AV. Good on you for compiling feedback at least

Id like weaker individual modules, but more slots and capacity for fitting things. Though, we'd probably need some new modules to help create diversity, so that probably won't happen. Making armor reps passive was dumb. Keep the passive modules, nerf the amount they heal, and put active ones back in (assuming my above suggestion was used)

Regardless, active reps are way more fun and rewarding. Though they still have to fix the bug, at least on shield boosters, that keeps the booster from working if taking damage.

Oh, and its only been almost 2 years now, but how about fixing side turrets on dropships? Looking towards the front of the ship STILL resets the turrets position, and missiles can STILL kill their gunner. This is nothing short of laziness on CCPs part atthis point

I would like to see active modules make a return and concurrent with passive ones.

And as far as the new mods go, for active reps, make it like the NOS meaning you can only fit one on a tank. Could do with the passive as well, because we'd otherwise achieve a full rep tank, with no damage attenuation. You all complained about not being able to solo a tank with Darkside swarms that had 3 reps on it. One active and one passive rep wouldn't be able to do that. Add a hardener and plate and a tank is back being good to go.

May also want to test making the damage mod the same way (could do that for infantry too ), so tankers have time to react instead of getting melted in 2 shots.

Shield should always be passive as per EVE lore, but I've never played EVE so I'm going off what other people tell me. Booster could remain as-is, one pulse adding a large amount of shield and kick starting the regen, but the regen shouldn't be interrupted by taking little damage. It's a forced boost, shunting power into the booster, so there shouldn't be any way a little damage should stop it. I'll even take a 3 second minor slowdown to give it more of a good feel to it.

For Marauders and Enforcers, require level 3 in HAV operation to unlock those. They could both get a speed penalty per level for activating their respective mods, but no more than 10% per level.

The roles should be switched: Marauder gets bonus to damage, Enforcer gets a bonus to defense. 2% or 3% bonus to damage per level for the Marauder, same for the Enforcer with defense. Both could have the siege module already fit, that won't subtract from the hull's CPU and PG. Those would probably be 10x or 12x skills. Infantry would probably want them to be 12x skills. The Marauder should get a flat bonus to turrets, since Caldari has 2 and Gallente only has 1. Could give the Gallente a bigger damage bonus to make up for it however.

Bringing the tanks back in line to what they used to be, would make experience matter a lot more again. If no AV was present, used to be able to battle 2 or 3 tanks and win due to superior driving and aiming. Now, like I've said, any random can hop into a Sica, and my rail will glitch, rendering me without any offense, and dying quickly.

To bring the age-old argument back, I don't see what would be wrong with a tank being its own best counter. As far as pubs go, it's the luck of the draw. The game shouldn't be balanced around ambush, which is what a lot of people seem to want. It should be balanced around FW and PC, to encourage a lot more people to get into those modes. Infantry could always squad with a dedicated tanker in a pub, in case there's a dedicated tanker on the other team.

Pilot suits could be introduced too. No slot layout or different colors and suits to buy from level 1 to 5, just passive bonuses. Gallente could be something like increased acceleration and a reduction to armor plate weight penalty per level. Caldari could be increased passive shield regen and base armor per level. Infantry now has 2 passive skills, no reason the pilot suit shouldn't. Take note that I didn't suggest damage bonuses to either suit. Gunnlogi could do with more armor so that people could stop dual tanking it. Could also introduce vehicle shield regulators to make the Gunnlogi a real shield tank; have around 2000 armor, ammo extension and a regulator.
