Vehicles are fine and will only be more balanced once the game goes live. More people, more variances, and the rate at which we acquire skill points and ISK will be drastically reduced. Also I highly doubt we'll see many of those behemoth's terrorize the battlefields for atleast a year if not more. Two years before you see any real solid numbers of them anyway. I'm talking about the behemoth "marauder" class vehicles too. It's also very likely that CCP will remove the "militia" grade vehicles as they have implied that it was just for testing, and to allow people to flesh the game out. Even so they are junk, and offer little to the battlefield beyond distractions, and the occasional snag.
Plus you have to remember that not everyone wants to be G.I. or an M.I. grunt like the rest of us. People will not complain this hard when they have triage players on their team. I know people did not complain when pacifist entered combat as medics in real life. Even the military has had pacifist among their ranks. It happens, but you still need people like them. So a few want to fly, or operate a tank. We need them just as much as they need us grunts, or we need the pacifist and healers to patch us up.
People will complain just for the sake of crying, and being heard. |

Actually the "only" vehicle I ever called in was this last weeks gameplay weekend. I called in a LAV and was on my mic acting a fool during the last four minutes of the game after the otherside quit and gave up for the most part. I was racing myself trying to figure out the controls. I'm not really happy about the LAV controls. I have no idea how the APC or rather dropship works in controls, or even the HAV's for that matter, but the LAV sucks control wise. Then again I have zero skill points in vehicle operations. Ha-ha.
Anyway Cromson Moon, I hear ya' about some people. Personally I am all about the ground and getting on my mic to help my team with map awarness, and control. Sadly most have their mics off, and usually there are too few of us on mics (most of the time.) I do not have time to spawn camp though. I'm usually running from objective to objective cursing, and yellin' for help or support. I love it when teamwork happens though. It's like petting a unicorn. 
Edit:
Plus one to you, Crimson Moon. 
Also for everyone else. Do not get me wrong I fully support operators, and pilots. They are and can be most beneficial to the team. I just happen to support proper operators, and pilots though whom do help the team. Not the tower jockey, or jerk in a tank whom will not get out to jack that objective (atleast attempt to.) |

Maybe. I'm not big on proto gear though myself. I enjoy just using standard gear while trying out various suits. Thus far I have acess to eleven different suits (minus AUR suits) and I'm enjoying the differences of each suit. The logistic standard type-I is B.A. looking and very menacing actually, and I'll be honest I have more fun finding out the small differences between the militia, and standards and even types. From cosmetic and aesthetical to modules and equipment places, and other sats (attributes). I should probably have proto-gear, but meh. I find the only advantages thus far to proto gear in general is PG (Power Grid) output, and module space. I find they need some more balancing though atleast some do. The scouts is not so bad, but I feel it needs some negative atleast. Oh well.. Just random thoughts.
I have played with you I believe atleast a couple of times, Crimson Moon. I'm pretty hard to ignore in-game. I usually start chirpin' instantlt about CRU's, vehicle and troop locations as soon as the game starts.
Ps. What I want most is my command suits.  I love my scout and being all special operations and whatnot, but the command suit has a lot of my attention, and I feel we need them sooner then later. We need to have the ability to call in turrets, support, CRU chambers, and comman centers. It would be cool and help flesh the game out that much more. Of course I am equally as excited to see what and how the operator suit performs, and what it will do for those operating and piloting vehicles. |

Well if I have the time this coming play period and feel up to playing Dust514 I may show up. Using my Dragonfly of course. Ha-ha. I found out about the chat though because, like I do with every single and have since I was a child I have to read the manual, and play around in the options. Saw the microphone setting and turned that baby on. It's a shame though that most do not even know it is right there. Hopefully CCP will fix this or make it more accessible.
The game has flaws, and hopefully CCP has been taking notice of the real issues, and testing them with their actual Q&A in-house group. If so we should see a lot of older issues dissapear with this coming up build, but as always there will be new issues, or other issues that were missed. Happens though. No game is perfect. All you can do is make a stable game that works and functions. Hmm. Anyway! Command suits! Yeah. Needs them I do..  |

I am fascinated by the number of people who want a command suit. Remember the phrase "too many chefs spoil the broth" and you'll be fine. Basically, unles it's just blatantly OP, I'd not be going for Proto. Tech2 for sure, maybe advanced. But that's just me. ASSAULT FTW :D
I too am looking forward to the fixes.
Oh I know I can call in vehicles for free if I wanted to do as such. I just do not have a desire, or need to. I'm not one to take up a vehicle when someone else more fitting could. Actually I have not seen many people talk about the command suit as I have. I've seen a lot mention the pilot suit for operators, but not so for the command variant. I also highly doubt many will take to the command as much as they will the other variants -- pilot, scout, assault, or even logic and heavy. I feel those are what in the end most will go to. Especially if rumors come true about the scout obtaining the cloak module.
As for the tech levels and gear. I fully agree minus the abuse it part (which made me laugh nonetheless). I find that for the money advanced leveled gear (Tier2) is more advanteous, and of course profitable. Unless you absolutly need it for the sake of flaunting? Which can be fun I suppose.
All-in-all? I'm just giddy for the command suit. Hopefully one of the biggest fixes they did was for the frago and squad abilties. Also they need to fix the map. It's clunky, slow and too out of the way to pull up. |
