Another thing is that if the DS is on fire it always explodes, it's a scripted behaviour, to many times i activated the reppers who brought my DS to half armor, just to see that explode.

How would you feel about dropships filled with swarm launchers or mass drivers for example? what about equipment? this is not offensive and can be out DPSed by almost every AV weapon
shaman oga Nexus Balusa Horizon DARKSTAR ARMY 512	Posted - 2013.08.30 12:20:00 - [3] - Quote Also assault dropships should have a built in afterburner. Summary: Repair tool, active scanner, usage from inside DS (from STD level) Built in afterburner for ADS Better zoom for turrets Better fly controls (this is difficult, but especially ADS need it, maneuvering the turret with the same stick we use for moving the DS is annoying) Allow passengers to see outside, it's very difficult to see where we have to drop ourself (3rd person view for passengers) A button for hover mode/ fly in statical position, it will also help maneuvering DS, like a drive assistant Time limit before DS explode when it's on fire, like 2 seconds, to allow emergency reparations. I would add something else, but now i can't think about nothing else.

I deleted the one I agreed with in your posts But I might add the outrageous cost of the ADS and Logi DS should be brought down a bit. For a lvl3 vehicle without edges over low cost AV players, makes the DS not so enjoyable for the long run. ADS cost around 1.3M when well fitted. Quite expensive for the fun factor/efficiency/ durability. Skilled pilots will always be more confortable with manual controls, especially during a fight, when i ask a button for the hover mode/ statical fly, is only a little help, it would help to keep a constant high without the worry of always do little corrections or turning around (helpful if you use your DS as a spawn and you want to stay exactly over an objective/point), or to help to stabilize the DS when near buildings and to work against knockback effect. Of course a thing like that should work at slow speeds and not prevent ultra rapid landing/ crashing or pilots hazardous moves, it should be a help for quiet moments.
shaman oga Nexus Balusa Horizon DARKSTAR ARMY 543	Posted - 2013.09.04 11:13:00 - [5] - Quote Even if the OP was unrealizable, some good feedback came from this thread, i personally suggested to allow passenger to use equipments and use the rep tool to do reparations from inside the DS, i still support this, but with the exception of the RE.
shaman oga Nexus Balusa Horizon DARKSTAR ARMY 558	Posted - 2013.09.05 11:03:00 - [6] - Quote I'm uploading a video about this argument, it will be online in 40 minutes, more or less.

shaman oga Nexus Balusa Horizon DARKSTAR ARMY 562	Posted - 2013.09.05 11:53:00 - [8] - Quote As promised here is the video of the aerial attack
shaman oga Nexus Balusa Horizon DARKSTAR ARMY 564	Posted - 2013.09.05 12:10:00 - [9] - Quote Yes, is the sad story of AV, all or nothing. Of course do stupid things like that in a match with a lot of AV is impossible, it's impossible to use every kind of dropship if there are a lot of AVers.

Of course do stupid things like that in a match with a lot of AV is impossible, it's impossible to use every kind of dropship if there are a lot of AVers. You'v destroyed only one HAV in 10 minutes! Had to restock ammo couple of times and constantly run away from AV. And you'v been almost shotdown in one moment. How many players were in red team? It's strange so little swarms coming at you after all. I am puzzled... Not very OP imho. EDIT: This way you can pack more swarms on DS than in passenger compartment of dropship I'm still convinced that allow weapon usage on DS is not a good thing, the DS itself it's not OP, but the method that you can use to hunt vehicles will be OP. But the possibility to use equipment from inside a DS would be a great feature, a single swarm launcher almost destroyed me, all the AV can out DPS rep tools, this feature can improve our survivability without alter our attack power (that is almost zero)

Of course is not that easy keep 3 or 4 persons over you if the shoot at you, you must move not too fast.
shaman oga Nexus Balusa Horizon DARKSTAR ARMY 627	Posted - 2013.09.12 11:16:00 - [12] - Quote Not yet, it was only a joke, made to see if it was possible, i don't think it will be a new tecnique that will be used for vehicle hunting, with the exception of tryhards BTW i don't think it's possible, nanohives have the same behavior of RE and uplinks, i've already tried to create a jihad jeep
