Spectre-M The Generals General Tso's Alliance 161	Posted - 2014.01.01 19:02:00 - [1] - Quote All I see is a dropship full of assault forge guns. This would make dropships the best at everything besides cqc. Throw a logi in there with a rep tool and it'll be all but invincible. Would do well in a PC where lag inducing tactics rein supreme. Just take to the sky and drop MD and FG rounds at anything that dares seek sunlight. Amarr Factional Warfare Loyalist Minnmatar in Amarr Armor I am a Wolf in Sheeps Clothing

It'd take guys off of the objective and there'd only be 4 slots availible to shoot from unless you're using the turrets too 4 heavies with proto breach FGs. It would allow us to negate the immobility of the charge while firing 2100 damage, balls of fire from the sky. Forge gun tower sniping would be nothing compared to this.

Spectre-M The Generals General Tso's Alliance 182	Posted - 2014.01.05 00:10:00 - [3] - Quote @ Baal - I have shot from a dropship many times. It's not all that difficult unless going very fast, only requiring you to lead shots for lower speeds. Hover just above points in the city, and let your 6 occupants rain AOE rounds on the clones below. When av appears put hardeners on and seek cover behind the buildings. I've seen this tactic many times, using the two missile turrets only. Now there would be 6 weapons of different specialties. This means it can fit 6 different counters. You didn't consider rep tools either, ignoring that point all together. And player adaption is also a factor ( suicide jeeps for example ). What if we could throw grenades, uplinks or REs from it, making it a bomber too. Wolfman is right, swarms have auto lock which would make taking out HAVs and turrets too easy. We don't need to be multiplying damage potential for dropships because it 'would be hard to apply it all'. In your case, I believe you haven't thought it all the way through besides the obvious points of firing from and taking fire in a dropship. It's also ad hominem to assume that I've never shot from a dropship. Amarr Factional Warfare Loyalist Minnmatar in Amarr Armor I am a Wolf in Sheeps Clothing
