Also a couple things I noitced, you have it listed as "Stealth modules" and even the deployable shield listed under modules. Both are going to be used in equipment slots. And in that video that showed the combat rifle in the kill feed you can also see the Gallente RDV, not that many people are excited for that.
Not that I know what CCP is thinking, but I'm guessing they picked Cal and Gal as the basic "Shield Tanking/Armor Tanking" duo.
Outside of the tanking type, they are relatively similar, which means they can deploy those vehicles first to see what adjustments they need to make, versus Amarr and Minmitar vehicles which should play differently. I have no idea what they plan to do in the future, remember when it comes to vehicles, all we've seen is what they showed at FanFest, but yeah, unless they change the pattern they've been going with, I would expect to see Cal and Gal versions of future vehicle classes come out ahead of Amarr and Minmitar type.
(hey, once they get the basics of LAV, LAV, and DS done, they COULD decide to hold off and release all races at the same time ... who knows?)
I've lumped Stealth modules and deployable Shield Barriers under "modules" because, in my way of thinking, Equipment is just one more Module type (High, Low, Equipment). I suppose the same could be said of weapons, but they seem to have a more unifying element (do damage to others) vs. equipment which is all over the place, the same as other modules (to my way of thinking anyway). :shrug:
Hmmm Hadn't seen the Galllente RDV, yeah ... people are really clamoring for that. Actually, its sad, we've seen footage of the Gal RDV going back for a while and it hasn't been released. Its probably the easiest way to know when you're looking at the Dev server footage  |

- Removed PC info (hey, its deployed, this thread is only for things we haven't seen yet  ).
- didn't add section on LAV balancing, since its already been done (see above [;p])
- Added Logistic suits balance to 1.3 section, and included link to DevBlog. |
