Check the price of the VK.1, CCP clearly doesn't want to make things workable for heavies.

I think CCPs logic for not having a heavy BPO is that the Heavy suit is a primary counter to vehicles (using forge guns). I think vehicle pilots would have a fit over players only risking the cost of a forge gun to take out their tank/dropship (and I could understand their anger). Personally I wouldn't mind and would probably buy one, but I don't use vehicles.

Vehicle (HAV) pilots who die to solo heavies with a single forge gun are idiots.

because they sit still and expect heavies to be pop up dummies that egress from cover to shoot the same way every time

Even without standing still, LAVs (at least, basic ones) are very vulnerable to a forger that can lead their target. LAVs as portable fixed turrets isn't a workable option, they have to keep moving and use cover just like dropsuits.

First thing skinweave heavy sucks you sir in you assault? Can loose 6type two's and still make a profit. Secondforge guns are trash they only work on sub grade tanks today 5 proto forge guns couldn't kill one proto tank and i get a message get good scrub how powerful are you going to make the tanks everyone get tanks wait that's already been done with world of tanks. Third show me why the proto type hevy is worth over 200000k isk? It's got the least amount of slots than any of the 4 classes, so drop the damage then the armour now jack up the price lol good god man what are you going to do about the snipers and assault o yeah you took the scope away ccp im dissapointed go with the masses you should have nerfes nothing this what happened to mag crybabys saying that weapon does too much damage it's a heavy for a reason, now it's just a over sized sub machingun. And we need a back pack instead of a clip.

Start again with the "Guardian" class. There you have a heavy starter fitting with militia forge gun.

ur telling me 5 proto forges which do at least 2000 damage to shields (minimum) could not kill one proto tank? U sure it wasn't an operator error. i don't know of any tank that can do that. Of course i'm probably wrong about tht. Was he camping the whole game or wat?

The highest you can make a HAV have without severly limiting it is about 8k eHP, witch is about 2-4 proto forge gun shots if it isn't very specialized into it. If it is, then it's a 1 shot. Thing is, it's way less sp to max out a forge gun kit than max out on a weak HAV.

The heavy bpo may be part of some bundle that hasn't gone on sale yet. I think there should be one.

Last I checked the dragonfly was identical to the type-I scout, but without skill requirements. So, the valor scout should be identical, other then colour may blend better on some maps.
