As I'm all for removing HAV tiers, adding DS/LAV tiers is a resounding NO.
Having vehicle tiers makes balancing the already tiered AV a real pain. I will be lurking this thread as I didn't get good ads pilot feedback in my f&I thread.
Getting vehicle mods in a better place is crucial to all operators. Shields need to revert to original multi-pulse boosters, as does armor reps. We need some more low slot variety, Chassis mods, field stabilizers, etc.
Getting all DS some pg/cpu love is in my project, a tiny bit more HP (racial), and maybe an additional skill bonus. (passive shield/armor rate increase, mcru fitting op, plate/extender cost reduction amongst possible suggestions.)
Gorgon/grimsnes are in a good spot. I can fit and abuse them quite nicely. Incubus is a good ship, just lacks real teeth.
Shield DS are a boondoggle. They don't fit well. They can't linger. Only pro is having a fully skilled python/missile setup. Problem is mirrored this time with great teeth, on a garbage scow.
Turret fitting kills all models, ads more so than the rest. I'd like to see a racial fitting bonus' for all but MLT aircraft. Maybe give vanilla DS a scanner/mcru bonus. Anything to expand beyond "hurr durr I want put link up there"
Anyhoo, as you were.
I'll be watching @_@

I would pick just 1 to focus on. My mouth is watering at the thought of multiples like a pg/cpu buff AND ehp. Those two go hand in hand. +1 for the civil and constructive talks I don't normally see in these posts guys.
I'm constructing a proposal with three possible variations that goes from minor-complete overhaul. I've got all I need for LAV/HAV, now I just need to bask in a thread like this.
My goal for ads would be for a fully skilled pilot to be able to tank a full wyrk volley. Second volley would be the risk/reward decision time thing.
PLC impact physics are more deadly to DS than the damage, and really require a dead aim and a good lead.
Forge is either zero threat (shooter can't lead) or deadly (shooter can lead) and for DS I'd like to keep it that way.
Large turrets are large turrets. Sorry about our luck. They were meant to scare vehicles. I've lost more vehicles to unmanned rails than to any other source. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Once I get something tangible for us to point at and read, I'll start the AV collaboration to finish up all the angles. Then we put it all beside each other and argue some more. And then, maybe then we will have something worth presenting to CCP.
So don't get too excited. You'll see 1.3 long before this gels.

I'm a god-awful pilot. But I'll pop in there tomorrow just to keep up on active pilots thoughts.
