Note: This is just about the stock infantry variant; the vehicle repair is fine to my knowledge.
I'm probably the only LLAV driver to say this, but I don't like death-taxiing. As a logi infantry, I'd much rather care-bear it and support my team, but the repair tool on the LLAV is virtually unusable.
The problems are with the targeting and the cool down times. The locks break too easily, requiring a total shut down of the module to reset, and the long durations for both usage and cool down mean its only practice use is to put it on a heavy so he can try and god-mode kill, not very logi-like.
So, I propose these fixes:
The Nanohive/ AoE: Treat the LLAV as a triage hive. This is the best fix imho as it is simple, effective, and opens the door to variants such as ammo and hybrid. I won't get into specific stats, but the cluster should be big enough to support a whole squad that's close enough but have a moderate repair rate that doesn't make infantry invinceable. Durations should be on the longish side, maybe like 30 sec on/off? Idk, it's not my place to decide that stuff.
Multi-Tracking: This keeps the same mechanics but changes a few things. First, multiple tracking, idk if this should be a set number or if it could be upgraded by the remote repair skill, but it should be about 3-5 locks at a time. Next, either add the ability to relock without shutting down the module or shorten the cool down durations. Also, give more grace before breaking the locks and add a set range. Perhaps a lower repair rate for balance.
These are my ideas for the LLAV RRT. Hopefully there will be more team support and less death-taxiing. Feel free to add, critique, agree, etc as you wish.
Thanks for reading!
PS Other fixes on my mind:
Remove the turret for extra seats, logis mean transport too. Remove the sheild repair, it's pointless, also it doesn't give points, so either get rid of it or let it give triage points too. Give points (like even +5 or +3) to vehicle and infantry active scanner spot assists. Do something to keep blueberries from taking my vehicle when I get out for a short time (squad access only to driver, lengthen access time, something!). FIX THE BLASTED TURRET DAMAGE KILLING ME FROM THE SEAT!!! I understand actually getting hit, but right now it's just going through the LAV and hurting me directly. That's enough whining for now. Cheers. |

+1 for a coherent post and using (or trying to use) the LLAV properly. |

You're not. I do it too. Although, some of the functions that I use it for should be what the SLAV's are used as, but since they're ****, I'll just use the LLV's.

Today my cloned died from running over a proxy mine, barely scratched the lav. Was swarmed yesterday to the same effect. Combined with instant head shotting turrets, and a repper that is utter crap, I'm putting mine back in the garage. Instead of fixing the real issue of these vehicles being to hard to kill, they make killing the driver overly easy. I would advise that nobody skill into these vehicles as they are once again a sp/isk sink. |

I really like the moving nano/triage hive idea! I find the current lock on mechanic much too clumsy to use, but activating an AoE repair tool would be pretty interesting all-in-all. I'd like to keep a targeted variant, so I can repair vehicles as well. In the end, the best way to solve murder-taxi's are to give our taxi's a role other than running people over. |

I agree wholeheartedly about the nigh-unusability of the current tool's implementation. Good ideas in this thread. +1 |

+1 For a balanced support role suggestion
Unfortunately as you have noted, CCP wants to balance it as a slaying vehicle instead. |

I fully support the ideas layed out in the OP, that the driver should get more protection and should not take so much damage from say proxies or turrets, that it should be a support vehicle. That it should not be a murder taxi, but it should be able to take a fair amount of damage and survive and to help the troops around the vehicle a lot better. I also like the idea of the turret being able to be ripped out in place of other things such as an extra seat. Also, it does seem to be a very needed thing to have some sort of protection against people just grabbing your ride and running off with it to usually crash it into a wall. Perhaphs while you are alive, your teamates would actually have to hack your vehicle to take ownership of it? That would at least provide a 10 second delay so your ride isn't stolen instantly and people would know they are being asses for stealing your ride. |
