Well then learn to fly them so you don't go through them like firewood. If I drop 1,000,000 ISK into an aircraft so I can have decent countermeasures and Jovian Fusion Cores to be able to move the damn thing, I don't want to be sharing the airspace with some bozo who is just going to TRY to land on the top of a building, but will probably just end up doing a backflip before making love to the ground with his thrusters.

To review:
1) Darn right they cost a lot, you need to pay for that power
2) Learn to fly. I can make an Assault ship last four matches if I am careful.
3) Last thing we need are more roof forge gunners

and I think I forgot

4) There is already a limit on dropships that can occupy an airspace, I don't want a mechanical illiterate to be denying me that spot.

over priced.

Reading the thread title for a sec I thought you had finally cracked Nguruthos. Whatever happened to the discount the Devs were talking about?

Good topic to bring back up. +1

Aside are those Jovian engines the ones people have to unlock with the dead weight Vehicle Maneuvering skill?

they take the least amount of skill to use thats why they cost so much,there is nothing to hit at MCC height.

well beside this comment being dumb since pilots who know for fact that this jibe is illogical I`ll just tag this as a fail comment, because at MCC height there are things to be hit by including all the AV, and for those embarrassing moments, the MCC itself. MCC eight is no where near out of range of AV.

You pay a lot to be 2-3 shot by forge guns :P

Buy afterburners. As soon as you come under fire, increase altitude and wave off until you can get someone in your squad to suppress and area, then follow up with a gun run.

This is the issue with the community, all of you want a one step fix to problems. Instead of planning out and coordinating attacks, the buck almost always stops at "MAH FLAYLOCK GOES BOOM!"

Useless.

So strange to hear a Darkstar down-playing ds pilot skill when one of the best pilots I've ever seen is in your corp. Ask Evolution-7 if piloting is easy, I'm sure he'll educate you.

No good Dropship pilot would be at MCC height anyway, unless they are evading swarms or forge gunners. A real Aerial Support Dropship Pilot would be flying just above ground level, right through the city. P.S. This might be bragging, but i can do that.

I owe you a drink.

Again, my play-style is fitted more for the shock-and-awe factor, and there is no better feeling then ripping between two buildings five feet off the ground. Granted, I have a lot of respect for guys like you who can hover through a facility.

They said the reduction would be about 1/3. It was more like 1/4th off,but then most came back in the form of turrets and hulls lol.

What used to be a 1.5 million ISK dropship is now like... a 1.3 million isk dropship.

Except they're still terrible so...

Yeah.

you don't take damage from the MCC unless they patched that. and AV hits from the ground to the dropship not because it is that high, just wait bomber will make everyone scream reduce height ceiling. but im waiting on amarrian tech to come out.

How about we just ******* crucify the very idea of Bomber Dropships and then burn the remains in flaming nitric acid.

We have ENOUGH Dropship recolors already. Let's get some different air vehicles.

Oh, and maybe fix the WP gain for the current ones so you can actually get something for transporting and spawning people.
