*giggle* A 'Tailor Tank'? 'Armorsmith APV'? 'Chef Sherman'? Sorry, sorry...


Really...I'd like to see some sort of armored vehicles for *everyone*, not just crafters, hard for me to believe that in a futuristic setting people are restricted to driving things that don't even have a bloody roof on 'em, particularly if the worlds are so dangerous. And I'm afraid if you give an armored vehicle to one prof/set of profs the rest are gonna call 'Unfair!' Heck, Commandos have wanted a tank for a year now at least, and I suspect that's one reason they haven't gotten one, 'cause every other prof would claim they're being nerfed because Commandos get a big vehicle with a turret and they don't.


More realistically (in my opinion), if there can't be armored vehicles available for everyone, would be to fix it so basic armors at least can be worn by *everyone* (not just crafters, novice combat types, medics, entertainers, what have you), and to fix the damage multiplier that I think is way too high. You could and should be one-shotted by such things as krayts, I think (it's a blinkin' dragon! If I was a Teras Kasi novice again, or worse, a novice brawler, *I'D* expect to not walk away from an encounter with a dragon), but dwarf nunas just 'cause you're level 1 and they're level 12? Uh-uh.


Heck, even the krayts, there should be some chance to get away, I realize...retract that earlier statement One-shot kills aren't quite so much fun as a mad dash to get back to your vehicle and make your heroic escape. Doesn't seem to me on reflection that there should be one-shot kills in a game where you're supposed to be a heroic type, plus again, it's not a lot of fun to go out in the wilds of Tatooine and think that if a krayt spawns right on top of you, you've got no chance whatsoever to survive.
