Tanks have just about ALWAYS taken priority over dropships in pretty much every aspect. It's taken 3 years now to still not have racial parity. So, we can assume HAVs would receive said treatment first (assuming said treatment exists), then we'd wait a few more months to a year and then we'd see placeholders for dropships.

Chances are they'd be removed "temporarily" for "balancing" and we'd get them back a few more years down the line.

the amarr tank has a reversed slot of a caldari tank right??
I think they will be even more powerfull than the maddy i guess ,so i dont want it...........

Since I need to prep this tomorrow (not deploy), what colors do you want?

should there be a difference between SHAV and HAV, should there be a progression coloration as well.

Pick three colors for all factions, HAVS and SHAVS plus progression.

Using the emission lights to indicate vehicle tier could be smart, or incrementally more black.

Go.

These guys. They make me lol every time.

Sure, roll out racial parity, let's see the Amarrian/Minmatar HAV that will undoubtedly just add to balance issues because, to date, we have never had tanks right - someone will always complain that they are too powerful or not powerful enough, usually at the same time.

But go ahead and throw two entire lines of other tanks into the mix, make the graphics jockeys happy (they will never be otherwise) and completely **** up the game in the process. But, yanno, at least those guys will be happy in the knowledge that they have new art assets; that's what's important, right?

Get real, dudes.

So we've currently got white for assaults, yellow for logi, green for sentinel, red for commando and purple-y/blue for scout

Orange for Marauders (it's an unused color), Brown for enforcers?

Or are you thinking more like the 'usual' colors for each race?

Amarr = Gold, Cream, Tan. They also sometimes use silver.
Minmatar = Rusty-Red, Brown, Green... or SOLAR PANEL! (I don't think solar-panel counts as a color though).
Gallente = Green, Red, Yellow (they have weird common colors)
Caldari = Gunmetal Blue, Grey/white, black.

Just want to step in and remind that the stats of the vehicles and turrets, can be completely different, even if the hull shares the same form.

More to the point, until Militia HAVs can be reliably killed with militia AV, we will never see a sica or soma BPO.

until the STD Gunnlogi/Madrugar can be reliably killed with STD AV we will never see STD HAV BPOs.

It's give/take. But until sicas and somas don't require proto AV to paste we won't see it.

Minmatar "Blaster" could be an Auto Cannon Basically a giant Assault HMG

Minmatar "Rail" could be their Artillery Cannon. I imagine it to be a giant Mass Driver, great for support tactics but not too great on direct tank on tank conflict unless you manage to land every shot.

Minmatar Missile would be their "Rocket" launcher. I'd imagine them to have the same flight path of the flalock but longer range and the drop-off to the correct ratio of something that size. Where Caldari Missiles are accurate and longer flight time (should be more)
Large Minmatar Rocket Launchers would be closer ranged, higher rate of fire launchers with the damage profile of wither projectile or explosive, which ever one isn't the Caldari Missile Launcher profile.



Amarr "Blaster" I imagine would turn into the Scrambler Cannon, specifically assault scrambler like, this thing would be more towards the Light Vehicle and Infantry Smasher but needs time to whittle down heavier targets.

Amarr "Rail" would be cool if it performed like the Charged shot function of the scrambler rifle and mini laser strike, a Laser Turret.
The laser turret would be great against completely decimating anything as long as the user is skilled enough.
At first you'd charge the shot like you would a scrambler or forge, different levels of charge determine how long the beam durations will be as well as damage and heat generated. When you release the Charge (at full charge) the cannon will emit a quick beam for 1.32 seconds doing an insane amount of damage if you can fully connect the beam to your target. Make it worth it though because that cooldown time is a killer at full charge.



On that note can we finally give Gallente Rails like we were supposed to have?
Gallente Rail Turret would pretty much be a closer range, less damaging rail with higher RoF. Similar to how the Tactical sniper rifle is to the basic/charged.

True adamance apparently did 'drawings' but he refuses to share them.
