And that's why we currently can't use weapons inside the dropship

The World isMine wrote:Man I know CCP wants to do their own thing but there are so many games out there that have such good mechanics like this. When I saw this I just thought of bf3. They do it but look a dropship full of MDs or swarms won't be that effective because you will most likely only shoot from one side. Adding to this request making dust more like bf3 why not let us attach remote explosives to vehicles. Bring back jihad jeeps.
Two swarms on each side, 2 fire then the pilot pivots so the other side can let off a volley (just something that popped in my head).
If you was forced to hover to open the doors then I don't see too much of a problem actually. Stop for 2 seconds and one guy gets sniped, the other blitzed by AR fire, and then the ship is gone do to a random FG(lol you never really see these guys coming).
There's also the rare threat of P-cannons, railguns, and hostile swarms.
Come to think of it, with all of the potential for a DS to get taken out, this isn't really a problem. But only if the doors are always closed while the ship is in motion.

Lol, sounds a lot less OP when you give it to LAVs, even with the immortal taxis. If this is implemented for any vehicles I would have to say hold off 'till 1.6 so we can see how far the vehicles have come.

Plenty of opportunities to nerfs & buffs to achieve balance.
True

Hmm, good question. I can see a dropship flying to a tower or something and a passenger drops a hive and/or uplink without needing to hop out. Then flying off to help someone else.
Incoming tank? Have a teammate drop some proxies along the road mid flight then flank back behind the tank and shoot at him so he keeps moving towards the trap.
Now that I think about it. You could restrict it to vehicle type. Assault vehicles allow passengers to use weapons(they have fewer seats, don't they?), Logi/Scout allow players to use equipment. None specced vehicles restrict passenger abilities.

Dropships might need some sway to make aiming less easy, though. I, for one, will definitely snipe from inside dropships, as well as snipe the people who are shooting from dropships. That actually makes my role more useful.
Curious at how many people will stop saying "snipers are useless" if this is allowed. 
Hmm... if F-Pistols still have that outrageous push effect vs DS than I can see them being used more often again. Not equipped to out right destroy the DS? Whip out a F-Pistol and scare it off!
