Based on what we have seen of Project Nova Rattati is trying to develop a streamlined game with a lean team and using existing assets.
One of the casualties of this approach has been the exclusion of vehicles due to the difficulties in balancing them with an infantry presence. Whilst I understand the logic, to me this is a tragedy! Flying around in a Dropship was one of the truly unique aspects of Dust.
So what is to be done?
Don't try and balance them!
Nova should feature vehicle only matches, free from the confines of the PS3 we will be able to have more vehicles in the field without any performance issues. World of Tanks is a successful F2P game and I think CCP should get in on the action.
There are many possibilities in the-áformat of the matches, such as:
- Skirmish/Dom - capturing using a hold and area mechanic
- Ambush - one life,-á limited clones or push the enemy to their MCC
- Capture the flag
- PVE Drone infestation
- Escort/VIP across the map
- Planetary Conquest - raid and destroy the launch platform to disrupt ISK supply
- Clearing out Turrets in a district
We could also incorporate linked battles (like Pokey is advocating - capture an orbital structure to use OBs in another match), through mechanics such as an initial vehicle battle clear out installations. We could even rip off Star Wars and have a vehicle battle on a planet to wipe out a districts shield generator (or Orbital Structure shield) to increase the vulnerability window or make a follow infantry battle easier.
If there are no planets to be included many of the game modes above could still work in a EVE hanger style map
But if the above is too much, then at least throw in some Mini games. I'd like some CCP Archduke hacks to create a Dropship or LAV based Crazy Taxi mode.

I never understood why CCP didn't include a mode that was infantry only like many other games do that have vehicles.
That said, Project Nova is set within spaceships; not planetside like DUST. Therefore, I don't see there being room for vehicles. Of course, it has been the most part of a year since we saw anything from Project Nova. Who knows at this point? Project Nova could have been changed from a FPS to tower defense game with the amount of time that has passed and the little info that has been provided from CCP. 
I don't troll; I tell the truth.

Actually that does raise an interesting idea, having a vehicle only game mode that is a linked battle to an infantry one.
Skyfight over floating defense relays to lower the shield to allow orbitals in so the orbital satellite can attack the infantry?

Great idea, but I think it's unlikely to happen in Nova, maybe eventually.
Personnally I think CCP would be better off making a separtate game for land based vehicle only combat (including dropships). Basically Dust but without the infantry.
It would be awesome if they still allowed multiple people in one vehicle, manning different weapons and systems.
Bonus ideas:
Tank based anti-air missile secondary weopons fired by secondary gunner.
Dropships could deploy drones to fight or hack objectives.
Could be amazing. |

I realize it's been... way too long actually, but, if memory serves me, vehicles were removed from Ambush mode (main reason I stopped playing Ambush

I thought ccp nerfed Ambush and made it infantry only...
Last time i played ambush it was free of vehicles.
So yeah i think it would be a snap for them to make a vehicle only game mode even if it was not linked to any other battles it would still be a cool place for all us vehicle lovers if they do decide not to add them into normal infantry game modes.
What they guy above said ^
