So this idea literally just popped into my head, and I really want to know what you all think of it.

Right now, it only seems that turret skills the belong to the operator, and any of the passengers are the only set of skill that actually affect a vehicle. So how would you all react if CCP broadened that idea out to other vehicle related skills in the next build?

Shield skills, armor skills, turret skills, racial skills, and anything else relating to vehicles actually all stacked.

Right now someone with a proto forge, and some complex dam mods can solo a proto tank. But could that forger solo that tank if it had a 75% increase in both aromer, shields, turrets, and anything else that those three might have speced into? Probably not.

Now think of a drop ship. They aren't so paper thin when they have a full load of soldiers, now do they? 175% increase. Thats crazy!

It would make vehicle preservation a team effort. Having dedicated vehicle operators that have a soul purpose of making that one vehicle as strong as it could be.

Its not the tanks job to kill the AV fit Heavy, its his squad of infantry, ow wait video game logic tanks must solo everything....

But rather to give it the ability to survive against high leveled anti vehicle weaponry. A tank would ho down in a matter of second if there were 2 or 3 proto forger pounding it. This would give it a little more health to escape a situation like that. It would also cut down on vehicle spam in a way. You could risk having 2 or 3 weak tanks, or one powerful tank.
