As I stated before I would like some serious effort put into the fixing of the PG/CPU situation for HAVs as a whole first. Better to get it right and use it as a baseline rather than use what we have a baseline then try to fix it later along with a pile of variants too.

I mean here is a serious question for you Rattati. Do you see the development of Faux Racial Vehicle Variants as a serious possibility for Dust in the short to medium term? No art assets, simply variants that are a different color if possible, but perform as if they were Minmatar or Amarr. Because if so, I think the community as a whole would prefer those come before we introduce the old variants back into the game.

Don't get me wrong, extremely glad you're giving some vehicle pilots some love, but we do need to be very smart about what we do and in what order we do it.

Can we not just Plug a big version of this into a Blaster Turret?

The Barrel of the Combat Rifle into the Caldari one...... = Boom solved all art asset issues!

Frankensteined laser turrets wouldn't be so bad, I don't think it would work quite so well for projectiles though. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

Hell, I've still had this problem recently when I was trying to resupply I managed to get my tank stuck, I hopped out to recall and a blue stole my tank, which led to 7 and a half minutes of the blue being useless smacking back and forth into walls, and ignoring mails sent mid match. I do have vehicles with small turrets fit, but they're only called out when I have dedicated guns on voice comms, because I hate getting trolled by my own team. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu.

I am trying to find the best fit, so we can figure out at least 1 or two alternative equal fits to those. When playing around in protofits, I immediately get annoyed by the need for pg/cpu mods. Using infantry fitting logic, it goes ADV hull + proto weapon and fill in relative mods with adv to std. This is not so easy with HAV's and reduces options. Another thing, not new, is that the problems usually come with stacking modules. How adverse are pilots to more "good mod" but only one per fitting? Vehicles fit more like sentinels than assaults - all the stats are on the 'suit', your only choices are like 2 modules and a weapon. They used to fit more like assaults than sentinels where you had huge numbers of slots but needed to skill into the modules to really 'make' a fit. There is almost no one I'm aware of that likes the current 'sentinel' style fitting model, as it devalues investment when the majority of stats are on the hull. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu.
