Alright *sigh* I am not going to get in your Onikuma. It says MLT-Onikuma Impact.
Let me explain something, for all of those who don't understand. When you point your gun at a vehicle, it'll say stuff like:
MLT=Militia=Poison, I will avoid being a passenger, even MLT HAVs
STD=Standard=Not poison. It carries the goods. Yet you avoid it as if it was an STD.
PRO=Prototype=Not necessarily prototype, could mean Professional. Hop the hell in!
So when you damn Impact Spammers expect me to get in, I aint. The thing says MLT. It stands for Mega Lame Thing.
But when I roll up in a Methana pimped out to withstand 2+ forge hits in one sitting, you run as if it was a Baloch. Yet everyone flocks to the disposable Impacts to run people over. Fun Fact!: My variable Vane Turbine makes mine faster. It's even better for running things over!
If you see a PRO, it's only the best. Your chances of getting killed in a PRO vehicle are worse than finding 5 dropships at once.
I'm just putting this out there because I've watched way too many people turn down a freeride in order to wait ten more seconds for their slower Onikuma. Your logic defies me. |

Yes but I've been in a match where there were two HAVs. One Pro and one Mlt. I tried the pro but it was full. The Mlt was completely empty aside from the driver. I "took my chances" outside the Militia HAV. 5 seconds later, the thing took maybe 3 swarms and blew up.
I've seen one baloch take a substantial hit without blowing up.
The thing is that your chances of dying a greatly increased in Militia vehicles and there is no way to tell what mods they are using, so its reliability is unknown.
But with STD and PRO, you know at least that if the person was willing to put SP and that much ISK, it's bound to be good. I actually think my Methana is at the very least on par with a Sica/Soma in terms damage taken.
I wasted half a match driving in my Methana with no gunner, because none would get in, taking hits from forge. Eventually, a guy set down a lot of explosives and wasn't able to escape the ones ahead of me.
