First off heavies are slow and what you saw was a true murder taxi. I do the same tactics now and then. I am slow so I need another way around the board. I do agree the free LAV should be removed, this would force others to skill into the LAV. So leave us heavies alone we have it hard enough as it is. Also AV's work wonders try them and see if this fixes your problem.

Hey guys.

I'm sure many of the players here have noticed some Heavy Users running Prototype Level Gear and using the Baloch to simply charge and/or run over players whilst using the car as a second layer of protection to then get out and use their Proto. Gear to finish the job.
Even worse you have the players that solely use the Baloch to run people over.

I personally feel that LAV's as their current form should be removed from the game entirely,
as the hit and run is becoming more and more common and it's ruining the game.

Now although some may argue that both tactics are valid forms of play.
I'd like to see the users at least suffer some expense of ISK.
I feel that although it won't prevent such tactics it will be a deterrent of sorts.

So basically my request/suggestion is for the Baloch's Blue-Print to be removed once you reach a certain amount of War Points.

But removing the LAV altogether seems a bit excessive.
IMHO; they need to make it so you need to have a decent speed to kill infantry with a LAV, so you canGÇÖt just nudge people to death and the time delay to stop people using it as second armour.

Earlier I thought about the idea of simply not counting vehicle hits as actual kills. The clone count would not lower and the WP would not be rewarded. KDR would not be changed, etc. It'd simply remove that player until he respawns (And even then, give the respawn time a small decrease. Maybe 5-7 seconds).

There'd be absolutely no reason to murder taxi then. No WP for your squad, no kills, no advantage. It'd simply take a player off the field.

Easy to kill LAVs are not ruining the game. If someone is running around in a proto suit in a starter LAV I would probably laugh as they get instapopped in it by some good AV gear. If people want to run completely isk free fits for their vehicles and suits, then that's cool because it's still easy to kill. If they change vehicle impact kills so they don't count at all, I think that would ruin the game.
People talking about removing blueprint LAVs entirely should specify that they mean starter LAVs, since I think some people might be a little bit upset if they lose the blueprints they paid for or got with their ps3 (especially if they got that ps3 because it included the dust items).
Also, why are we only talking about the baloch and not the onikuma starter LAV? Maybe the baloch is a little bit stronger, but underneath the name it's still a militia vehicle. Maybe we should be asking for lesser than militia starter vehicles instead of asking for them to be removed entirely.

If they change vehicle impact kills so they don't count at all, I think that would ruin the game.
