Vehicle Engineering doesn't give the bonus to PG and Vehicle Shield Extensions doesn't unlock shield extenders, they are instead unlocked by leveling up Dropsuit Shield Recharging.

Maybe it is CCP's way of saying "get comfortable in a Dropsuit before speccing into the war machines"?

CCP are aware of the Vehicle Engineering bug.

lol, you know better, I rarely, if ever use an AR aside from the ones you get on the starter fits.

When have I ever said that vehicles should be able to be solo'd? I haven't, you're pissed at a decision you've made and are trying to demonize me despite the fact that you know better.

In skill importance, Dropsuit > Vehicles simply put because you actually wear your Dropsuit, you just drive/fly to work in your vehicle. Yes, vehicles should be able to pack more firepower than a dropsuit, that is just common sense. However, that being said, there are balance reasons that need to be considered. If there are no counters to vehicles, then why have dropsuits at all? Why not call the game HAV514 at that point? All things should be balanced towards a squad and should reward squadplay.

All things, including your "now useless" Vehicles. People shouldn't be able to exploit broken kb/m mechanics to zoom around the map saving their ass from 3-4 guys launching swarms at them. AV should require non-AV support to get their job done, just the same as Vehicles should require infantry support to get theirs done too.

Also, you say it yourself, they are a specialization, they should require an absolute shitton of dedication to get into. Really, with that post you're not doing much aside from coming across as a crying child.
