Yes this is true, its a part of the merging between Dust and EVE this was also stated on fanfest, but in the right time. We have the same in EVE, some use a lot of isk on Titans and Motherships, but they still loose them. If this would not be possible the whole gameplay would be lost. Dust514+EVE merging =true if not, this is not the game we have been promissed.
I dont see the problem, I still like my millitia equipment.
I'm with this guy. I've lost 10 tanks since yesterday morning, and they were all blown up by enemy players. Keeping in mind how ISK gain works, that means I just gave several enemy teams a shitload of ISK while having fun in my tank. Its only a Soma, so losing it doesn't hurt me much, and like I already said, killing it benefits the enemy team.
Also, this really shows the issue of having vehicles that require no skill training to use. LAVs are fine, but being able to drive a tank with no skill invested is starting to look pretty dumb, isn't it? In EVE, if I had 1 billion ISK given to me when I first started, I would have felt rich as hell, but had nothing to spend it on but Frigates. This game has most abilities and assets tied to skills, so having a lot of ISK honestly wouldn't give you any advantage at all if it weren't for the ability to use vehicles with no training. |

They do this to test different scenarios and in this case it's the link between eve and dust, eve has a stronger economy than dust and thus they need to look at how to make a balance between a stronger and weaker economy.
Right you are. When this game goes live, you won't see this happening because ISK has actual value. After spending 2 years in Providence, I can tell you that most of the rich people in EVE are terrible PvPers, and I doubt they'll be any better in this game. Consider such players a free source of skillpoints and ISK, because they won't be a threat no matter what they bring onto the field. Besides, unlike Planetside 2, zerging tanks has the potential to tear through a billion ISK faster than getting your faction battleship blapped, so you can expect the spending to be far more conservative. Or, you can expect to see several EVE alliance go bankrupt thanks to your good teamwork, so you win either way.

If I think back to E3 when all militia vehicles were FREE, it was more of a field day with av grenades and swarm launchers vs. the militia fits. Until people started improving them with modules, and skilling up to better them. A militia tank with no support SP behind it is still going to be very squishy and not a problem for the starter anti-armor fitting. Especially now that they aren't stuck on a heavy suit and you can sort of move around with the swarm launcher...
The issue is that it doesn't take much backup skill before you get a Soma like mine, which tears straight through other ones and can eat swarm volleys and forge guns while repping the damage right back off. My active scanner also reveals anyone close enough for AV grenades and allows my frag-missile turrets to gun them down before they can even throw. |

The whole game isn't going to be changed because a few "normal" people choose to disengage from the whole point of why the game was created and developed.
This particular burst of ISK was a fluke and I'm sure it will get worked out after AV guys have a little time going apesh** on all the vehicle spawn, but eventually large sums of permanent ISK will hit Dust. Deal wiz it. Better yet, grab a forge gun and join the party. oh didn't know about the PVE thing, it's a good news for me! Well i take my patience and boost my swarm to kill those tanks
Exactly. And make sure you kill my tank if you see it for massive SP and ISK, just out of the kindness of my heart. |

^This. I drive a Soma almost constantly now, and I usually lose one or two per match. |
