I'm comparing differences between Militia Caldari dropship(Viper) and standard one (Myron).
I'nm having difficulty figuring out why people actually pay money for the myron. The differences seem tiny.
SAME shield recharge, and low slots.
only +107 shield, +77 armor.
+30 CPU, but almost identical PG.
And okay.. ONE more large slot. But with identical power.. umm...
People pay TWICE the price for this???
On a related note: the miltia versions seem to be stuck in starwars "land speeder" mode.
Is it that the standard ones can automatically fly higher, or is there some special fitting I need, to be able to get a viper to the top of a higher building?

Also pushing the nose forward makes you dive, unless you hold L1, then (based on the position of the dropship) you either climb slowly or remain at the same altitude. Atm the only way to gain altitude is hold L1 and activate an afterburner.
Aha.... so there is a magic module.
I was staying hard on the L1... and getting a big 20m off the ground, then topping out :p
Guess I'll be looking at buying some after burners, then! Thanks :)
... annoying that none of the dropship guides ive seen, have mentioned this issue :(

Heh, yeah.
One odd thing, though.
I thought afterburners were an "Active" module. That you had to trigger them manually somehow, like you have to trigger shield boosters in a tank or something.
But... just equipping them, seems to makes it work better. I can now go higher (YAY!)
kinda wierd

and you have a militia fitting?
I'm only talking about the militia vehicles. I dont have the SP invested in higher :)
I hold down L1 until the cows come home, but it only goes a short distance off the ground. i'd estimate 50m
maybe the "ground" i'm on wasnt the lowest part of the map or something, but it still seems absurd

waitwhut?
Lemme be even more explicit, since maybe you're misunderstanding.
I called up the viper. On level ground.
I touched NOTHING but L1. I hold it down.
I only got maybe 50m off the ground.
Hmm..
Maybe I need to make myself two fittings now; one with afterburners, and one without, and test height form the same map from the same place.
It also would be nice if those who are capable of fitting them, posted some kind of height limit comparisons of the dropships.
Your last comment about twist climbs, sounds like a bug. A useful bug to know... but still sounds like a bug :-/

Lol.. well, techincally, I only asked for "a comparison". Not "a video comparison". but if you wanna go that way, knock yourself out

I should also wonder, if there is a hidden height ceiling modifier based on whether you have no dropship vehicle SP invested.
Bah. I'll have to remember to test somehow.
They really, really, need some basic flight instruments for these things. Like an altimeter. |
