This may seem like a strange idea but what if they where to add a type of EMP module. With the 1.4 update buffing swarmlaunchers this module once activated will create a Flux grenade like effect only any missiles cought in the blast zone would be destroyed. Obviously this would have a long cooldown and would not work on Forge guns, but it would save your vehicle from a fatal hit.
Just an idea. |

At now very few people fly dropships. Even less actually drop people onto battlefield.
Dropships are used primary for 2 things:
1) Fly to the building's roof (sniper spots)
2) Attack infantry with assault dropships
Both actions are performed alone, so solo manned light aircraft can do the same (and better), making a role of air infantry.
It should be cheaper, faster and blow up with 1-2 swarm shoots. Missile lock alert is a must before releasing light aircraft.
In one of the loading screens there are both a dropship and two smaller aircrafts making bombing runs so CCP may add the lighter ships as another variation along with the future pilot dropsuit.
In my opinion assault dropships are mainly used solo because teamates seem to either run pass my dropships or just hitch a ride to the nearest CRU then jump out, leaving me with two empty gunner seats. |

I was so happy when I could finally take off with a DS and not go wildly out of control because of the hill it was dropped on started it out crooked. I went up...went down...turned a couple times....then pointed my nose at the ground, leveled out...smiled to myself...then exploded...it was the best 30 secs of my dust life. Okay thats off topic, im just agreeing with everyone saying ammo limitation is a good idea, as an assault DS guy it does not bother me. Might even see more dropship pilots if they can practice a little more without being harassed by the players that never leave the red line.
As I was starting out as a dropship pilot controling the thing was hard enough without everything trying to shoot you down, and I always thought that If CCP could add a dropship flight tutorual it would definitly create more able pilots in the game. |

Adding cloaking would make vehicles a little over powered, because like the afterburner it could be easaly used to evade combat. I myself am a DS pilot and I can think of alot of ways this could be useful and frusterating. Another thing to think about would be exactly what kind of cloaking, visual or electonical. If visual then the vehicle would still have to show up on radars and be targeted by swarms. If electronical then the vehicle would be visible but it wouldn't show on radar or be targeted by swarms.
Flares or something similar would be a good idea but would it have a racharge or a set munition that could be regained via supply points. |

Either as current setup where you can take it apart or as single use fits like with some of the AUR specials. If they go for a single use fit though, it should be that they can be used even without the necessary skills. Having hacked more then one HAV and LAV foolishly abandoned on the battlefield by it's driver I endorse the idea that a hacked vehicle should enter the inventory assets of the individual who successfully performed the hack! 
I'm not saying I don't like the idea, but seeing an enemy hijacking one and my dropships then useing it agenst my own team is a burden on its own.
Would it even be useful to have a vehicle you're not even qualified to drive in your assets. |
