DUST Search - Enough with the 1mph LAV kills

Make the LAV take damage based on the speed they hit someone, and make the dropsuit take damage based on their suit type.

Heavies should put a dent in the LAV, depending on the speed the LAV is going. The heavy will sustain quite a bit of damage too, but it shouldn't kill him.

Medium suits damage the LAV, but to a lesser extent, and are most likely flattened at 80mph. Up to 30mph no damage is done to either and the LAV just moves the player and gets slowed down. Perhaps a little damage to the medium.

Scouts should be flattened by an LAV going 50mph, but even still that LAV needs to be quite a ways to get up to speed. Scouts do the least amount of damage, but then again they can dodge a charging LAV much easier.

No need to remove free LAV because that wouldn't solve the problem. I'm not opposed to killer vehicles, but I am opposed to vehicles that do damage that to me seems extremely unrealistic. My medium frame should be able to withstand an LAV charge from 10 feet away, hell it withstands the heat of my plasma AR...

If CCP fixed the Logi aspect to LAV's so they get WP for repping tanks, MCRU spawns etc.... you would see a lot less of the "murder taxi" scenarios going down. As it stands, those of us whom speced into the Logi LAV's can only get WP playin the murder taxi game. I'd be doing alot less murder taxi if I scored WP repping a tank and distributing mercs arounf the battlefield. If CCP makes any of the changes you requested and doesn't fix how LAV's are credited WP for their participation in a true Logi capacity then everyone who used up SP to spec into them is gonna be pissed off and asking for a respec. I know I will be. As for damage, speed and all that you mentioned i would agree but not as drastic as what you describe. But, if you make suits cause damage to LAVs when rammed then how about LAVs can ram tanks and cause damage too, possibly even causing the last fatal blow to a tank. I'm willing to sacrifice my LAV to take out a tank if it helps my Corp win the battle. I got a better idea for you though, how about you stay off the road and you wont get run down. Personally i dont see LAVs as a problem in PC matches. Maybe you play too much pub.
