why are you so insistent on light standard and heavy version of everything?

This is what LAVs and drop ships will be for.

You need to work on your comprehension now don't you? (If this made me sound like an idiot, just think how it made you sound when you did similar.)

No. I read it fully and understood. Just stating that there's already something meant for what you're saying you want the hover bikes for... Transport. Doesn't matter to me what armed and size variants you want. Your first point was transport. All else was irrelevant as far as I was concerned.

Like a dog with a bone aren't you?

It doesn't matter if it's fast and small. Your primary point was rapid transport and that's what LAV's are for as far as rapid overland transport is concerned.

I doubt very seriously that CCP is going to put in another form of ground transport when you can already call in a free LAV. And if they did implement it correctly, you'd end up with at most a lightly armed transport, that moves slightly faster than a LAV, with all the toughness of unmounted infantry, that can be locked onto with SWARMs.

If I thought it was something CCP might do, I'd be +1ing you and asking for the addition of a heat lance, blade vanes, and cluster caltrops.

1. You can stop being a #unt just because someone disagrees with you.

2. My point still stands. It's unnecessary. I never said it wouldn't be fun. I never said it wasn't a good idea. I merely stated that CCP actually giving us hoverbikes, when we already have LAVs, is highly improbable. After all, I did say "If I thought it was something CCP might do, I'd be +1ing you and asking for the addition of a heat lance, blade vanes, and cluster caltrops."

I don't really go for this "We can get by with just this, so why add anything else?" attitude. Way too many games suffer from oversimplification these days and I say give Dust more stuff!

I like the idea of more personal vehicles anyway. They tend to get overlooked for the larger 'driver and gunner' stuff, simply because they support cooperative play. I guess with a bike you could have a passenger ride in the back but that should be it.

Only trouble I can think of with smaller vehicles is deployment. It's going to look silly when a massive carrier decloaks in to deliver your tiny bicycle. Maybe instead it delivers a container with multiple bikes? Would be handy at the start of a match we everybody needs to move out of the base.

Or forego the carrier altogether and deploy in a new way? Drops similar to how players are spawned on the field or something. Faster and lower risk then carriers but limited to 'man size' items.

Very interesting idea. Except I can't really picture a heavy hover bike.

Also since these are hover bikes... They won't be able to run a heavy over right? Last thing I want is to be run over by a hover bike
It's ridiculous enough LAVs don't get damaged from running a heavy over...

I have to say I don't want a personal hover bike that is armed, you'll get endless circle strafing against infantry. It would look stupid and silly. You would see majority of the time on them doing circles. Or come in at 80 mph, slide side ways shoot, then go back going straight.

Vanu in Planetside 2 has a hover tank.

If there is hover does that mean we can have a EMP explosive that shorts it out and makes it drop for a bit?

I say more team work, if the map is huge, get on a dropship, and deploy from it work together. One you deploy the dropships satellite to give you cover fire. No personal vehicles so everyone can lone wolf it.

Dust needs a APC and a Dropship.

And you accuse me of not reading. I never said it was useless. "I merely stated that CCP actually giving us hoverbikes, when we already have LAVs, is highly improbable.". And unnecessary doesn't = useless if that's what you were going on.
