1: No market, have a vehicle Supply Depot built in

2: The top gun should be a medium turret

3: STD should have 4 hi's two low's for Caldari, and vice versa for Gallente

4: Gallente should have higher tank values since they're slower. Also, those values should be in the high 1k-low 2k tank HP range, as HAV's are in the high 2k- 3k tank HP

5: Sounds good.


Peace, Godin

Oh, I like the mobile supply depot idea. Make it have a downside for balance, though...like 10 seconds in the MAV until the fitting change takes effect, and if that MAV dies while you're in there, well, too bad. That would prevent entire squads from jumping in to switch to AV, take out a dropship, then all jump right back into standard infantry fits...

I have a few ideas for the upcoming MAV:

1. It can have a sort of computer for mercs to access their fittings, the market, assets and chat.

2. It can fit 6 mercs on the inside and a closed turret on the top.

3. It's specs are: 3 highs, 2 lows, 1 turret slot. This is the standard version (Militia version has 1 high slot less also less PG and CPU)

4. It could have 1325 armor and 654 shields (militia gallente) or 867 armor and 1632 shields (militia caldari)

5. Could have windows for troops to shoot out of.


These are my ideas, share your opinions about it and your own ideas!

Question is: How much PG and CPU would it have? A dropship has about the same amount of base HP but lacks the PG/CPU to put any serious defenses on it.

1. Ok, the market is unnessary.

2. Medium turret?

3. The rest I like.


Keep the suggestions coming!

Pretty sure shield tanks tend to run around 5K HP. 1-2K sounds ridiculously low, you'd be 2-shotted by a forge in a vehicle that's already slower than an LAV. This thing should behave like a FOB, a place where you can transport, spawn, and resupply your troops. It needs some health. Honestly, I think the shields should be comparable to an HAV, but its offensive capabilities should be either a single small turret or just nonexistent.

Also, your clearly not a pilot, as that's a fitted Caldari HAV. You should keep your nose where it belongs, or learn about vehicles before making posts about said vehicles. Thanks.

It should be lightly armored until it stops, and deploys into a fob or siege mode. Then it should have hav level defensive strength, but only while immobile.

I'm unfamiliar with marauders. Is this kind of vehicle already on the way?

I'm gonna have to agree with you right there.If they dont have at least 3k shields, theyll be one shotted by most any rail with a damage mod or two on it

MAV = tank food. It'll be just like the dropship...cept even easier to kill. LAv's have speed. Dropships have can fly above the turret's angle of fire. MAV's have neither and will get one-shotted.

Again, you need to keep your nose where it belongs, or learn about vehicles, because those are fitted HAV's.


Peace, Godin

Unless that MAV is carrying multiple FG/SL/PCer's which is likely if they have a built is Supply Depot.

Bro, if you think you know vehicles better than me, you got another thing comin', or maybe you haven't met the 5000 DPS rails yet.

Let's take a Myron, put 2 azeotropic shield extenders, a ward shield amplifier, and a power diagnostic unit on it. Let's say the pilot has shield control level 4. Base shield is 1700, then we get the product from the skill and the PDU ( 1.07 * 1.2 * 1700 ) which gives 2182.8. Add on the azeotropics ( ( 2 * 748 ) + 2182.8 ) and we've got 3678.8 Shield HP. Now we factor in resistnaces ( 3678.8 * ( 1 / ( 1 - 15% ) and we're at 4328 effective shield HP. That's a dropship. Can you tell me again how a Caldari HAV has 2-3K shields?

MAVs are NOT meant to be a mobile command center. Thats (supposed to be) the MCC. An MAV is a MEDIUM ARMORED VEHICLE used mainly for troop transport and possibly as a mobile spawn unit. It shout be armed with a light blaster turret and possibly a medium turret.
