Thank you so much for posting, CCP Wolfman.
Would it be possible to ask for a sticky Dev thread in Feedback & Requests on the topic of upcoming vehicle changes; a la https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=260029 ?
Ideally before code freeze occurs, but the point is more just creating a community think tank as a resource for future iteration on this particular topic.
I think it's safe to assume that we'd all very much appreciate it.
Looking forward to 1.4.  |

From what I understand, the LAV changes being tested for 1.4 are to how much damage infantry receives on impact - not the LAV taking damage proportional to what suit it hits.
So I'm wondering if this will manifest as rag-dolling (or pushing) and ~reasonably~ damaging infantry, and letting the LAV keep driving unimpeded.
It could also be as simple as increasing the amount of LAV speed required to kill, though I don't think that would solve the problem by itself.
We'll see.
Oh, and I suspect the Pilot suit will make it for 1.4 considering it's a vehicle specific suit, and 1.4 is mainly about vehicles.
So that makes sense. What color will it be? I wonder. |

Thank you for the reply CCP Wolfman! Much love.
A few more questions, if you have the time:
- Does pushing infantry aside at medium speeds damage them too? Or do they not take damage?
- What happens if I pin infantry against a wall with a vehicle? Does it deal fatal damage? Or are they pushed aside unharmed?
- Since the updated collision system pushes infantry aside, does this mean I will no longer get splattered when I bail from my LAV at speed?
On a different topic: There was discussion of changing contact grenades to be 'sticky' in a future update. Do you know if Remote Explosives will get the same 'sticky' treatment? (I want to stick RE to my team mates; enemies; LAV; HAV; Dropship; anything that can move!  ) |
