lol no, im not surprised at all. I wasn't saying whatever reasons he had were bad or anything, thats not the point of this thread....
All i was getting at was he was like the boy who cried wolf. I don't know if ive seen so many rage quit and QQ threads come from a single person, even knowing the guy is like 15. |

My only point after that post is......
As much as it sucks, cause i really wish everyone appreciated what CCP is doing and i would never tell someone to NOT play this game, this game just isn't for everyone. It is complex, with a deep meta game and game mechanics outside of queue battle, pew pew, end battle. While it helps, simply being able to shoot well doesn't make you a god here, since the EVE universe doesn't work that way. Numbers, money, and politics are an integral part of how things work.
He complained about vehicles in a game that has vehicles. He complained about skills and progression in a game that has them. I don't care enough to go much further in depth than that, but he's gone and the EVE community, based on how he has acted, won't miss him.
My personal opinion, I think this game simply wasn't for him and I hope he has fun playing something that is closer to what he wants. No hard feelings, since I don't care about QQ anyway. |

Omni, i hope you are able to stay and enjoy the game. I know you have some frustrations, but I can't wait for you to experience some of the things CCP can do. Its really quite great and I think you'll be glad you decided to stay the course. |

i think part of learning to be a good pilot/driver is understanding the roles they play.
Dropships aren't gunships....thats what the fighters are for. They should be used to ferry troops to objectives/strategic points on the map and the guns are for protection....if your not mobilizing your teammates and your just kill hunting, i think your doing it wrong.
In my HUMBLE opinion since i havent used them, i think LAV's should be more of a supportive vehicle, used by a logi to give that mobility desried so the logi can get to anywhere on the map in 10 seconds to pass out nanohives or uplinks. I have a dream of being able to say on comms, "South of point A, need reps." and a logi comes roaring down the road in a couple seconds with armor reps, since those LAV repair modules are VERY effective. If a squad is abot to rush an objective, theLAV could drive over, place a nano and uplink nearby and then let them take the point while the logi goes back out to support someone else....
I know i have a very ***** view of how logi's should work, and its not fair for me to expect someone else to be a purely supportive role, but imagine what someone can do in a constantly moving LAV..... |

also, my squad leader has been putting a squad order on my tank every round since he gets points for all the kills i get and he gets like 3 precision strikes a round, which helps BIG TIME when we need it. you cant use those strikes if your in a vehicle, so it makes sense the squad leader would be in a commander suit, but you could definitely be the AR person you like to be but have that kind of power to make such a strong strike.
edit: just so you know, unlike repair tools, ive heard the LAV repair module gives like +25s every second......my tanks have thousands of armor points.... |

I've been thinking that I should start opening my mind and playing outside of my comfort zone. I have been a trained fps for a pretty long time, I specced into LAV last build. I want to try it this build to see if I'm good elsewhere.
btw, im surprised to see a post like this from you lol, id love to squad up sometime and we can talk about this stuff and try and work something out as far as roles or whatever in game. |

wel, just like any other vehicle, the two current LAV's are either a shield based vehicle or armor based vehicle (because of the racial tendencies of the 4 superpowers). If your using the LAV with more shield, it would make sense that you try and make the most out of those shields, whether it be extending the shields, increasing their resistance, or any combo of both. Same goes other way around, but remember that shields regen faster while armor reps longer and more.
once armor start on fire, it does constant damage until repaired.
after those basic things, its all about play style.
I don't think LAV's are meant to be super ridiculous death chariots....that is the role of tanks. LAV's are meant for mobility. Don't kill hunt with the single small turret you have. You should see that as more of a source of protection than damage.
For the logi LAV's, remember that oyu not only need the appropriate LAV skills, but you need the appropriate shield emission or remote armor rep skills based on which type of LAV you are using.
edit: don't be mislead, there WILL be a wipe, it'll just be in one of the later phases of implementing the new build. We aren't even on sisi yet... |

with the new build, the different types of turrets are really shining in the type of roles they are for. Small missile turrets arent the easy button anymore, so use what you think you will need for the current situation.
Blaster - infantry
Railgun - vehicle/installation
Missile - anything but has slow projectile speed and a lack of accuracy |

yeah, well the awesome thing about CCP's mechanics is that you can do ANYTHING you want. If you can do it well, more power to ya. Heavy with sniper rifle, sprint mods, and knife damage mods? cool. Sniper with a mass diver, remote explosives, and armor plating? cool.
You can certainly play as an aggressive LAV driver and if you can get a squadmate to go with you as a dedicated gunner, im sure youll do real well. I simply think the role i outlined would be a very efficient, beneficial role that anyone on the team would seriously applaud and be grateful for. If the team has a steady source of good support, it works as such a strong force multiplier that you'll most likely win every time. |

....eh.....
i would definitely agree that the LAV's strong point is absolutely their mobility. Almost to its detriment. Just like HAV's and now dropships, there are few truly good drivers for LAV's and when you get one, you know that they are good. Otherwise, ive seen noobs doing donuts in the middle of the main road in Plateaus waiting for my tank or forge gun...
Thats also the LAV's weak point....it has low health, no form of reliable protection for the crew, and is prone to spin outs due to bad driving, making its strong mobility moot.
My tank and forge gun both pop LAV's in one hit, but then again, i can actually hit things better than most i believe, so if you can drive well, i think you'll actually do very well for yourself. |

In my mind, its pretty simple and i feel i have found the best combo for EHP.
Take the repper/booster that you want to use based on your CPU/PG. Look at how much health it reps. If your fitting does not have that much health or shields, extend it until you do, since you want to make the most of your repper and its foolish to not utilize it to its full capabilities. Once you are able to max out the effectiveness of your repper, start packing on resistance mods, since you will always be able to fully heal with your repper and from there on you are multiplying the effectiveness of your health and your repper. and extra health past what you can repair is not as effective as resistance. |
