I do know that commanders don't want players in their tanks, and that is the olive branch of solo HAvs, unlockable through specialization.

Fear not. I've already spoken with CPM and they've assured me that the 3/2 2/3 layout is very much not set in stone and was simply left there because that's what we're currently at.

Guys

I am doing my homework here, with the loadouts. I started a brand new character and walked exactly through the steps of "what mighe each fit be with a given PG/CPU", without using PG/CPU mods. That means using suboptimal fits to experiment and get a fit under the cap.

To do a full PRO tank, and leaving the small turrets, we need way higher PG/CPU, and or some core PG/CPU skills, that I like actually.

I need to do this first in an environment that is known, IE 7. Once I have bashed out all the requirements for that to work, there shouldn't be any problem going to 7 slots. Problem is that that may require a little different approach with progression, because I don't want to rebalance all module efficiencies at the same time to make sure 7 slots isn't OP.

So, please propose eHP reduction that follows going to 7, because brick tanking should not be a thing.

Also, recommend some shield modules for lows.

Also, list out the unusable modules, and give hints on how to fix them, f.ex. shield boosters and the like. "What would they have to be like for me to start using them"

Thanks!

I like my spreadsheet but you literally cannot use the HAVS without also sharply boosting AV capacity. The AV values there were from when in chrome a solid AV gunner could put those listed HAVs, including marauders, in check.

For game balance they are interdependent, not independent.

An example of useless and hostile commentary: "these fits are terrible". As I have explained I was trying to make a fit without PG/CPU mods AND have the cheapest small turrets, to demonstrate exactly the plight of HAV fitting.

You're not being condescending about it, and you're listening. The second part is as important as the first. When you cannot have a civil conversation with anyone, and you decide that you are always right, and everyone else is wrong even when they agree with you, you are not engaging in conversation, or talking to people. You are talking AT them.

This, in most cultures I am aware of, is considered to be highly offensive behavior.

You're fine, for the most part, and for the most part I'm OK. Not perfect, but ok.

NK use the plasma profile, correct?

I am not following the "damage mods" discussion, we already have damage amps in high, I am not changing any of that. But I do want them to be active.
