Nguruthos IX Red and Silver Hand Amarr Empire 1166	Posted - 2013.08.27 16:59:00 - [1] - Quote When cooldowns are off seems dangerous and tedious. All this talk about "Not sitting still" (Despite every DS role requiring some level of stillness / stability) goes out the window when they say Okay well now that you're depleted, go park on the ground over there and get owned in a second.
calisk galern BurgezzE.T.F 796	Posted - 2013.08.27 17:04:00 - [2] - Quote well if instalations become a thing perhaps you can deploy drone ammo supplies that you can move your drop ship near in the sky. honestly I think that would be a solid addition. call them sky beacons and add a rail gun to them.

I can guarantee you anything like that is too much work and years away at best.

Nguruthos IX Red and Silver Hand Amarr Empire 1168	Posted - 2013.08.27 17:08:00 - [7] - Quote I guess this inadvertently spells the death of ever using vehicles in Ambush too. I'd really like then, for red-line rail tanks and installations to be removed from Skirm/Dom. And the ISK payouts to go up in there because as it is playing anything other than ambush is the fastest way to go broke with DS. I love being hit by stray MCC missiles for 500,000 damage too.

After which point its virtually dead/worthless and a liability. Ever been in a dog fight or tried chasing a LAV? Even aiming at infantry isn't a cake walk, especially if under any sort of AV pressure. Those bullets can go mighty fast
Nemo Bluntz TeamPlayers EoN. 456	Posted - 2013.08.27 17:19:00 - [10] - Quote How many rounds do you think you're going to have? Is there any solid number on it yet? And your complaints are right there with infantry too. In an ambush, on my proto suit, if I go the round without dying, ammo starts to become a scarce resource.

No they're not. The almighty swarms can still reach you, as stupid as it sounds.

What idea specifically? Not having to be a sitting duck in an expensive "Medium" vehicle using small modules, that's probably still going to be weaker than an LAV?

No they're not. The almighty swarms can still reach you, as stupid as it sounds. Being on the swarmer side, it does sound pretty stupid. The way they track, they're more likely to his the side of a hill, or a building, or the supply depot you fly to, etc.

Cyrius Li-Moody The New Age Outlaws 791	Posted - 2013.08.27 17:41:00 - [17] - Quote guess this fixes tanks in ambush.

That's yet to be seen. They could still end up crap or worse than before. I said that wasn't possible the last patch. The one before and then before that. But boy was I proven wrong...

Sockets that do things can cannot be destroyed. Like change your fit, repair, kill, de-shield, jamm, resupply, periodic hazards ect ect.

But wait did they just say they were going to buff damage on them too because they will have finite ammo?

I mean dropships won't be able to kill any other vehicle. HAV's will still tear us up

I'm not really a noob, I have a good idea what I'm talking about and I have pretty good aim. But thanks, obviously spamming at nothing is bad idea. These turrets had better pack a punch to be worth the limited shots
martinofski Rebelles A Quebec Orion Empire 311	Posted - 2013.08.27 18:34:00 - [28] - Quote I am expecting DS will be so bad, people will use them without turrets then. We can speculate on the quantity of ammunitions, but this ammunition limit really is a better idea for ground vehicles than dropships. Aiming with a tank is much easier than with a ADS. Making more bullets useful. Same with the LAV turret. I will wait and see, but I am pretty sure they will have to make something regarding DS after 1.5. I just hope Wolfman didn't say everything, mainly regarding Dropships.
