I was going to make a thread about this myself. The shields shield the vehicle so why not the passengers? It doesn't make sense to have the occupants sitting ON the shield instead of UNDER it. This simple tweak already given to HAVs would make LAVs a legitimate vehicle tree to pursue, and the logistics variants A LOT more logical/legitimate; seeing as last I checked using the logistics function required standing still to aim properly. (Standing still meaning you're as good as dead if anyone happens to be nearby) And if armour heavy Gallante(?) ships could simply HAVE ARMOUR IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS, that'd be right swell.

Sees-Too-Much 332	Posted - 2012.09.03 02:54:00 - [6] - Quote Fun fact: you can hit the occupants of a dropship, too. Except the pilot. I've had my gunners killed by the splash damage from railgun fire a couple times.
Grimmiers 15	Posted - 2012.09.03 05:51:00 - [7] - Quote I really enjoy getting kills on dropship gunners. It's quite cinematic. On topic: It would be great if the passenger could shoot or heal. Currently the only reason to have 3 people in an Lav is to replace a dead gunner, or have a guy hack and jump back in. With this in mind we'd have to at least keep the passenger side open. There should be a fully enclosed LAV though. Perhaps make one like an APC that holds up to 6 people.
