As far as crowd control, that should be per type of vehicle and map size. That 5 point map that got removed a while back for lag issues could easily hold 5 lavs. But 3 tanks on a 3 point map is also too many. And number of lavs shouldn't effect number of tanks, dropships, etc... and vice versa.

I disagree with the vehicle locks and the vehicle cap due to map size. If CCP wants to do infantry only map thats fine by me but limiting the amount of vehicles for the sake a fairness takes away form those of us who enjoy and have put stock in that part of the game. Show me three high end tanks vrs three high end Forge gun/swarm users with a fair amount of distance. A tank is just a slow painted target without infantry support.

As for vehicle locks I don't mind blue dots getting in or if they drive my ride. I'm serious, esp in high end LAV's it's not uncommon for the ride to outlast the owner. just give my character priority to the dam wheel when I'm in it!

How about a limited use BPO? Not a BPC, but rather you are given an allowance of Balochs per game, maybe like 3-5. Also are Onikumas also free? I'm Gallente and so are most people, but do Caldari get Onikumas?
Moonracer2000 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 311	Posted - 2012.12.28 23:25:00 - [32] - Quote I kind of agree that they are a little ridiculous as a free item. What if new characters get 30 free LAVs (that can't be sold or traded) instead of the starter BPO. This allows players to use them a couple times when adjusting to the game and trying things out but after a while you have to buy more.

Two nights ago I had to drop the free vehicle that I hate the controls just to leave the default spawn point in skirmish. From the minute I spawned it was just sniper fire at me, the maps are to poorly designed to take them out now. Understandable. But seriously do we need 5 LAVs on the field? Most LAV drivers never even wait for anyone to get in the them. They just drive away solo. We need a price tag on these things to deter people from constantly spawning these LAVs on the field. When you put 5 LAVs on the field and I try to field a drop ship or tank and it gets denied because the vehicle cap is reached, thats BS. They do need a cost.... As far as what Kain said.Im not being an ass Kain but people still run people over in BF3 with 4 wheelers.(single person vehicle)

I am bringing up something that has already been discussed but free LAVs really need to go. I have seen it being a trend now. People just call in LAVs because its free and drive around trying to run people over without being really usefull. They never try to cap objectives. ALways on the run from swarms and forges. And whats more when you try to call in your tanks, you cant because the field is full of clowns running around in their LAVs. Just my 0.02 NOTATROLLPOST Agreed the free one ...plus 1. Although they are coming out with that plasma cannon and that could be alot of points....nah its gay that there are free LAVS

And besides, it is quicker to kill a heavy inside a LAV than it is in a fire fight. IMO the Saga BPO's need to go. Saga bpo's are no longer free to use. You need to equip a small turret, so minimum of 6k. Still not much, but I feel like they're used less. They will not be so common when the game actually releases and thousands of new players join.

The angel saga's are different they were a reward that was earned there's only what 8 of them out there right, or am I mistaken?

They come in gray, green, silver, gold, and now red! 0% APR for a limited time.

Okay, this is about the initial layout in the Saga, which comes without turrets, got it I think. I didn't realize that. I thought every vehicle came with an initial Fit which includes turrets. Straighten me out here, 'O Stinker Butt. I have about five different LAV Fits: rail guns, blasters or missiles mixed with variable turbines (which has an automatic transmission for an icon), damage modifiers and automatic armor repair. It is a shame to leave one behind and watch some derp take off in it, never realizing what they have since they are just Oni and Bal based. As Caldarian I expect a Saga is in my future.

Do you mean the two free Militia spec LAVs. You get issued a free one of either Baloch or Onikuma. Or does some other race get a Saga, cause as a Caldari that would be quite irritating.

Granted that all militia LAVs are the real world equivalent of a Prius pack with TNT. the standard level LAV (methana and Saga) are the same minus the TNT.

My 180 K Methana should not be mistaken for a free ride nor a Militia vehicle! It has variable vane turbines and active mods, but they drive it like the piece of junk free ones. We need an easily distinguishable difference between appearances of Militia vehicles and Standard and beyond. Because fools don't know how to use Tac-Net still.

Just to clarify, I didn't say for the sake of fairness, but for crowd control. That seemed to be the major complaint. And I don't mean to suggest my own limits, because personally I don't care. If I'm paying for the lav, I should be the driver. If I'm not, I don't care who drives.

I especially feel this way I have a few pay for LAVs for special situations and it's kind of irritating that even when my pay for LAVs don't get destroyed during match, I still lose them.
