1. Warbarge documentation? - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
Wow, thanks for remembering my Flightschool thread. It's been so long I fiigured it was burried in the forum archives. I'm happy that it still has relevaance, though sad that CCP hasn't integrated dropships into the game in a way that makes them a...

2. Warbarge documentation? - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
The Warbarge is new since I quit a year ago. What's it good for and what is the best way to fit/run it? I searched but oddly couldn't find a dev blog or post on it.

5. Dropship Flight School - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
I'm not sure about the precise trigger(s), but the effect of those triggers is the intent to fly fast and to stop. It's probably just forward velocity, but that requires an initial nose down attitude along with an advanced throttle so you won't b...

6. Dropship Flight School - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
L1 is the throttle, so holding it down increases the thrust in whatever direction the engines are pointed. The engines are locked mostly back, but partly down. This propels the ship forward at high velocity and keeps it suspended in the air. Hold...

8. Training Video - The basics of dropship flight - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
This is an excellent video guide! Is would just like to add a link to my Dropship Flight School thread for an explanation of the flight physics. It helps to know why dropping the nose without adding thrust will result in losing altitude. Know...

9. Dropship Pilots - Beware the hit indicator - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
I believe it is a true hit indicator, not an enemy location indicator. It lights up to indicate the part of the ship that took the hit. Infantry are basically spherical targets which can only be stuck on the side facing the enemy and we've been t...

10. Dropship Flight School - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
I really don't want this thread to become a referendum on DUST. Let's just keep it about the mechanics of flying dropships and leave the politics for General Discussions please.

13. Deciding a skill path - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
Gallente is the choice if you want a great deal of versatility. The 25% fitting bonus will let you fill those four equipment slots with proto level gear. There are already several equipment modules with more on the way. This will future proof you.

14. Dropship guide - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
My best advice is to fly the militia ships and save your SP for your suit. You are going to need a day job to pay for your flying hobby so you will need every bit of that 3m SP for a suit, suit upgrades, and a weapon. Then save your SP for flyin...

16. Is becoming a Dropship Pilot while waiting for Jets feasible, or a waste of SP? ... - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
Concentrate on your day job first. Flying is an expensive hobby that only the SP and ISK rich can afford to indulge in. Certainly learn to fly the DS. That will help when fighters come long in a couple years as they will have a hover mode. Just d...

BTW, it would be great if you could pop over to My Dropship chase camera survey and let me know what you think. I want to give CCP Blam some numbers to back up what I think we want in the camera.

19. Question: How does a new player try out being a logi? [Uprising] - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
Every role has been made far more expensive. I got used to ISK farming with the SEVER suit last build to support my dropship habit, but I can't do that again for two reasons. First the vehicle and suit trees were completely separated, and second t...

20. Dropship Flight School - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
That was my thinking to from having used both blasters and rails as a gunner on tanks and other dropships. Missiles are the one weapon combining splash damage with the ability to fire an move on. Rails let you hit and run, but require precise aim...
