imagine capital vehicles...

I would love something like that they would cost like a bill or something for the standard one and with top meta or officer modules they would cost like 5 - 10 bill.

who would pay that when you could buy a capitol ship for that much

I think their plan is not to necessarily have that expensive of an item in a match, but instead let us overwhelm things of that nature that already exists (Such as stations / Titans) and let us take them over.

Also, as for things Dust players could directly control, something like a Space elevator or orbital cannon would probably be very costly, and be something you have to fight over. And I think the plan is to make the MCC and Warbarge (which can store many MCCs inside of it) ownable assets that can be customized and deployed out in PC and other more "serious" endeavors

We already have such vehicles: the Enforcer HAVs. They don't have more tank than standard HAVs, but when they go pop, it's a very expensive fireworks show.

The mcc will be player controlled at some point.

MTAC come in different sizes, Battle mech or titan(40k type) size could end up in game one day, but we would need MAG size or larger battle size before then since they would probably need several HAv or dozens of forge guns to take down. Although they would also be big enough to hit with null cannon and directly attack the mcc with their primary weapons.

Will be MCC when controlled and piloted by a commander

I'm guessing MTACs sounds like these. I know it won't be like a big ugly mofo on the field that can just doomsday anything it sees. But i'm guessing these things should be quite complicated to build (when manufacturing is implemented) have quite a hefty pricetag and require a looot of skills to use. (something like medium assault frame and standard frame to 5 + heavy sentinel frame and standard frame to 5. And this would just be to actually use the suit)
Just to train the actual skill you need vehicle operation 5 and maybe LAV operation to 3 or something like that.

MTACs should be something pretty endgame that you don't just spam.
And of course as you state these should not be allowed into high sec (aka instant matches)

MTAC's are tiny meches. Get out.

The assaults spent the last year crying about tanks and LAVs. Imagine the tears if we get HOVs. They'll probably come in the game pre-nerfed.

It'll obviously be a vehicle, so only tankers will be able to use it, and therefore, it'll be nerfed one month after its deployment. Don't get your hopes up.
