I am glad to see that DS are getting a little attention from the forums and ccp saying they get more HP...SWEET. lets face it, they sucked. well not really but the only tanking you could do was speed tank so that pretty much left out weapon enhancing modules and such.

I fly them and its pretty fun but i lose a lot of isk because of it. I am all for the limited ammo. The ol' incubus will run out fast I bet, but its not that hard to turn the afterburner on and get supplies quick. I really really like the idea of a supply depot on the mcc (just someones idea not something ccp said) I usually spend a bit of time up there anyways cause of that railgun tank sitting in the red line taking pop shots at me, Oh, and to the person that included DS as one of the 13 ways to kill a tank, its pretty dang tough with small turrets. But with limited ammo that red line coward will have to use his ammo with more care and i might actually see more time with the troops instead of the back of the MCC waiting for him to get bored of shooting the supply depots for 50 WP a piece lol.

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.

Gǣwaves of opportunityGǥ that allow vehicles to be devastatingGǪ temporarily.

I hopped on a HAV in a FW match today and it completely dominated. The new map gave him lots of places to seek cover and we survived the entire match. Only once did we get very low on armor.

So I think the fear of this patch being a nerf for HAVs is wrong.

Here things that I think should be done

1.Assualt dropships need to have a base sheild/armor resistance like a logi lav and 200k cheaper

2. Turrets (small and large), the rocket turret should have a reload after 4-6 shots for small and 2-4 bursts for large, the blaster a reload after 40-80 shots for small and 18-25 for large(keep the heat build up) and small rail gun turrets the should have a higher heat points so they can shoot longer and no reload (as they shoot electricity) to increase poplularity, all this INSTEAD OF AMMO

3.When someone spawns on your vehicle eg logi dropship, you should get 25 war points

4.Keep the sheild and armor how it is

5.make it so drop ship turrets have enhanced aim assist so it makes it easyer to kill stuff

6. Tanks run over enemies an any speed instead of them being pushed alon

And last of all
7. 'friendly' tanks not being able to freaken come along and ram and destroy your own freaken vehicles

You're so philosophical. please adorn me with more pearls of wisdom.

If possible can we get cloaking modules and flares.

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.

If cloaking is similar to Eve it could work fine. Cloaking doesn't work if you are being hit or firing.

EVE style cloaking seems impractical for ground vehicles since proximity of objects render cloaks inoperable, a cloaked dropship would be possible but the tradeoff of a period of drastically reduced mobility while cloaked might prove far more dangerous than relying on speed, shields, and good piloting to survive.

I'm still waiting to see someone flying a dropship. :/

For those saying rail guns shoot electricity you are wrong, in eve rail guns and blasters shoot the same thing, plasma, but the magnetic field is different, a blaster packages the plasma in a strong but short lived magnetic field, rail guns package the plasma in a weak but high speed magnetic field. Its why blasters and rails in eve use the same ammo, hybrid.

Here's something can I get some freakin flares on my dropship or any type of countermeasures so that I can stop being bullied before I lift off the ground as a matter of fact countermeasures for all vehicles! its the future right?? and reduce the flinch of my dropship after getting hit by a railgun so that I don't do a 360 and end up crashing. another thing-. . . forge guns .... o my forge guns what to do, what to do? how about reduce damage done to armor vehicles like how its supposed to be? idk just a thought. but it seems like they rip shields vehicles in half in 4 shots and armor is 6 assault being the worst of them or the best depending on whose team your on ;-) more damage than regular forge guns except they can shoot significantly faster with the small disadvantage of not being able to hold a shot, which in theory of an optimistic person could be an advantage or not a problem?. btw are there going to be additions of new vehicles or are you just reworking the way current ones work now? ooh and 1 more thing can we get an updated map so that I can tell if there's a huge rock behind me when i'm trying to escape fire?
