Why is there no AV or Flux Mass drivers? I understand that AV mass drivers would absolutly crush armour tanks, and Flux would make shield tanks cry. They would obviously be a weaker version of the grenade its based off of, just like the regular Mass Driver. I think that it would make for some really intresting fittings. The flux and AV versions won't actually be able to kill infantry, so I think this would remove some resentment from infantry, and place more pressure on Pilots. it would also dissuade HAV from coming to near, HAVs are most devestating when they are in your base killing your dudes, this would help to keep them out of your base and push vehicles to a more long ranged role. I think this might help balance HAV and infantry. I also think that the AV and Flux versions would have to be proto only with a high lvl of Mass Driver Proficiency, to keep people from using very little SP to gain what would be a devestating AV weapon. Let me know what you guys think. |

Clearly you've never seen what a flux grenade does to a Type-II Heavy running Complex Shield Extenders. They effectively leave me naked.
Also, I think I wouldn't like to see this unless CCP gets rid of or significantly nerfs the militia swarm launcher. I don't believe AV should be something that people don't have to spec in to, but sadly that happens. I'm not saying AV should be expensive to get into, just that people should have to make a conscious choice at some point to put SP into it.

You clearly missed the part where i said the would have to be proto only with a high mass driver proficiency lvl. Thats a very very large SP investment. Secondly any mass driver opperator who knows thier role uses flux grenades, so your argument about type 2 heavy losing thier shields is silly, beacues killing heavies (armor and shield) are what mass driver users do. Reguardless of what variants are released in the future a heavy will always get owned by mass drivers. |

I like this idea, but in order to preserve some fairness there should be extra skills to spec into for each variant. Otherwise pouring your SP into mass drivers will make you a jack of all trades much quicker than other classes who have to use their SP to use different weapons to take down vehicles and infantry. |

I already take down vehicles with a combination of Flux grenades and EXO-5 MD.
One flux and a couple MD rounds will take out a LAV. Three Flux and 3-4 drums of MD rounds will end a tank.
The MD is very situational so it won't be the first weapon chosen for any class outside Logi. |
