Gallente Mercenary 08551380 Carbon 7 CRONOS. 20	Posted - 2013.09.07 04:53:00 - [1] - Quote I dont know if anyone else has had this issue (hense the post in GD) but when I jump out of a moving dropship as the pilot, it seems that the dropship runs into me mid-air and instantly kills me. My hypothesis is that that something has been changed in regards to the momentum gained when leaving a moving dropship. Thus I leave the dropship with less momentum than the dropship itself, so it runs into me and kills me. That coupled with the fact that half of my ships explode from being dropped from insane heights, my current method of playstyle is starting to become unaffordable. Anyone?

Nguruthos IX Vagina Bombers 1464	Posted - 2013.09.07 05:04:00 - [3] - Quote bad for flinging people out onto objectives in PC... because it kills them. The old way was fun, this new physics had some unintended consequences of breaking the "drop" in dropships.
Daalzebul Del'Armgo D3LTA FORC3 Inver Brass 93	Posted - 2013.09.07 05:10:00 - [4] - Quote Lol still amusing to get a road kill from a dropship though. I heard you can safely drop when the doors are open. If they are closed you are road kill.
Quil Evrything DUST University Ivy League 64	Posted - 2013.09.07 05:15:00 - [5] - Quote sounds realistic. Last I heard, attempting to parachute out of a superrsonic plane was a bad idea.
Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 8119	Posted - 2013.09.07 05:31:00 - [6] - Quote LAV and HAVs have done this to me as well before 1.4, I have yet to have it happen as a dropship pilot though.

Start flying up in a dropship then jump out while it's still accelerating upwards. Observe.
Jadek Menaheim WarRavens League of Infamy 96	Posted - 2013.09.07 05:39:00 - [8] - Quote Yep have had this happen several times, only as a pilot, when trying to bail near the red line.
ZDub 303 TeamPlayers EoN. 2046	Posted - 2013.09.07 05:56:00 - [9] - Quote Hardcore nerf to fast dropping in PC... you can no longer do it at all. In fact you have to have the dropship almost completely still or it will (road kill) anyone who drops out. Seems like an unintended consequence of the new physics they built to help with murder taxis

Seems like an unintended consequence of the new physics they built to help with murder taxis in before more idiots post about why assault forge is not OP against dropship because you "Have to keep moving" and if you're "flying straight or stand still for a second you deserve to die because you're bad".

Skybladev2 RUST 415 RUST415 37	Posted - 2013.09.16 13:43:00 - [13] - Quote This happened to me some days ago. I called in Viper, then Railgun turret shoot me twice. After second shot Viper had 0/0 and was turned upside down. When I tried to eject, I was instadead.
Rei Shepard Spectre II 593	Posted - 2013.09.16 13:44:00 - [14] - Quote What happened to Gallente Mercenary 08551379?
gbghg L.O.T.I.S. 3484	Posted - 2013.09.16 13:51:00 - [15] - Quote I saw Jason Pearson get run over by his own gunnloggi a couple of weeks ago, funniest dust thing I'd seen awhile especially as I killed the tank a second later in my incubus. As for it happening in dropships idk, I'd try it out but I'm rather poor right now.
CHICAGOCUBS4EVER TeamPlayers EoN. 1692	Posted - 2013.09.16 13:54:00 - [16] - Quote pilot or passenger.. dropship moving at normal speed (no afterburner even) and u hop out u will instantly die

No but choppers don't blow up on impact and kill everyone inside. Helicopters have low terminal velocity because falling makes the rotors spin. Cant remember the actaul name for it!! The dropship are like side opened chinooks!!
Mac Dac Wraith Shadow Guards 189	Posted - 2013.09.16 14:07:00 - [19] - Quote this has happen to me before, but only when my droship dies and it goes into tthat free fall mostly.

Gallente Mercenary 08551380 The Vanguardians 25	Posted - 2013.09.17 18:15:00 - [24] - Quote Hi I'm still here reading the posts by you guys. It seems that a lot of us do in fact encounter this problem. I'm hoping this gets fixed in 1.5, but otherwise I created this thread because I wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one experiencing this issue, and to maybe get it seen by a dev so they can fix it. I'm thinking this could also be related to a number of issues currently present in 1.4 such as getting stuck on tanks, and just yesterday I died when jumping out of my own lav while driving it. I dont use vehicles anymore in pubs because I tend to run very expensive fits and losing one really fks up my isk gain for the whole match.
