K guys, with the upcoming changes to HAV's coming, the other vehicles will have to be looked at as well. AV will be getting a buff as it should, and the ADS/DS and LAV will need to be buffed along side it. With that, here's what I think on the matter, having flown all form of Dropships for over a year and having PC experience with them. Everyone knows how LAV's work so no comment needed.

First of all, slots. Every standard vehicle should go by the same philosophy that the HAV's will be going by:
Caldari 5/2
Amarr 2/5
Minmatar 4/3
Gallente 3/4

This goes for all standard DS and LAV's, while specialized variants, such as the ADS or LLAV, will get minus 1 slot on each side, Caldari for example would be 4/1.

Now, for stat changes.

ADS needs a minor HP and CPU/PG buff along with these changes, while LAV's need a major HP reduction (like the 1000 ehp range) but get massively increased CPU and PG. This will make the unfit BPO LAV's Cannon fodder, but well fit LAV's will be actually good for competent, dedicated LAV drivers. Standard DS should get a minor HP nerf, but increased PG and CPU for the extra slots.

LAV and DS also need to follow the changes for tiers, as in PG/CPU is I creased for each tier, but no increase in slots.

One last tid bit, swarms need a change. My only beef with them is that there is literally no way to dodge them. I've flown around entire buildings and had them follow me. Some way to dodge swarms needs to be implemented.

That's all guys, anybody who has feedback can comment and we can get the ball rolling for Rattati.

this is pretty much my feeling on the matter.

If you want a murder taxi, a solid fire support platform, et al?

It should be done via fitting, not via the hull having all the HP you could ever want.
