Imagine an MAV being hit by a FG. A proto FG, with complex damage mods backing it up. MAVs won't be able to tank more than a HAV, so will be fairly vulnerable when faced with proper AV, and since it's ground-based, it would be destroyed fairly quickly.
Dropships don't have this problem, and they can fit a CRU on board. This means a squad can spawn in it en route to an objective. Admittedly, the mobile supply depot isn't quite there for a DS.
A logi LAV, I think, has the option of being a mobile supply depot (correct me if I'm wrong).
Also, when installations come in, I think we'll be able to call in a CRU/supply depot where ever it's needed.
I think the Logi LAVs use vehicle triege modules (Caldari = Sheild transportation, gellante = Armor repair system). |

I think the Logi LAVs use vehicle triege modules (Caldari = Sheild transportation, gellante = Armor repair system). You guys are both wrong about logi LAVs. They can fit a CRU, but there is no supply depot that I've seen that is mobile or vehicle mounted. Also, their repair tool that is native to the LAV is broken. A transport and remote shield repairer can be fit to any vehicle if it can manage the CPU or PG. These tools are vehicle only for now, but the native logi lav tool is supposed to work on dropsuits.
I know LAVs can carry them, I was reffaring to the starter modules when you create the fit. |
