*blush*


I was more pointing to the amazing back and forth of vehicles versus a/v over the life of the game and what things would look like if that energy had been spent elsewhere. I am not a fan of cutting anything we currently have.


As far as the balancing stuff goes:

I think the real issue here is vehicles are attempting to be balanced around no set role similar to how suits are somewhat balanced. I believe that if CCP were to make it very clear that vehicles should be a force multiplier and nothing else things would go smoother but I am not the one who gets to decide what role anything is.

Thats a great idea we can finally be playing the scifi themed cod clone slayers have been pushing for all these years.

Remove tanks and replace them with mechs. Ala metal gear solid mechs. Something on the line of metal gear rex and the mgs4 geckos.

I kind of disagree with this, tanks are already dependant on the rest of their team. For instance, if your friendly blueberries are not capable enough to shoot the AV infantry, then the tank isn't going to get very far. Sure you could always pull out one or two more but what is the point if you aren't going to accomplish anything.

Nerfing the main turrent isn't exactly fair either, tanks do encounter other tanks and need to defend themselves. Not everyone enjoys having blueberries in their tank. Not to mention the main turret, also comes in handy for taking out blaster, missle, and rail installations. Nobody wants to sit around forever, spending lots of ammo trying to take those things out.

Sure you could leave the installations be, but they become a HUGE nuisance when they are hacked for infantry and vehicle pilots.

Removing and limiting modules wouldn't be fun either, there needs to be more diversity among vehicles, otherwise everyone would have the same boring fit.

I would go along the lines of just making tanks cost up to 7 mil, that would would be a well fit proto tank. why is a tank hull worth less than a proto suit? a tank should cost immense amounts of ISK, but have a shitload of resistance to AV the higher up the tank is, basically forcing 4 to 5 guys to use OK ish AV, or another tank to come in and fight it. that won't happen, but in reality that is exactly what it would be. A tank is worth millions. a human life is worth about 600k to the military, so make it more like that in dust.
