Do you have links to the pics?

I saw the caldari Fighter. OMG - I want to be a Jet Fighter and Pilot. Seriously I will save all SP and ISK now until they are leased and go 100% into them.

You are going to be saving up your SP and ISK for a very... very... long time.

I would suggest putting your SP and ISK into something else for the next year until they are even mentioned on a possible patch, which again, will probably be Summer 2014 at the earliest.

Trust me, CCP takes a snail's pace at making things incorrectly, even if no one but sloths have the patience for them.

Just a reminder that the thread in question was created May 2nd.

Are the maps big enough to have multiple dogfights? they gotta have to extend aerial redline like bf3

This was my original reason for even downloading DUST 514 in the first place...

I will laugh when 90% of the people who skill into them can't fly and go bankrput within a week. Especially the non-pilots who don't have vehicle skills up. I will skill into the Gallente ones because I like Gallente, but I won't use them much. I might do a rental service for them however.....

I'm going to laugh too, because I'm going to be the one farming all those incompetent assholes the moment I get in the air.

The idiots won't even have good fits lol. They will just throw something together and call it a jet.I already have fits planned for certain setups that might happen, which will smash people. you think murder taxi was bad? wait until you see this.

While fighters are cool, and I love their design, what exactly would they be used for?

Dropships are by no means a strong enough threat to need a new ship type to be their counter.
Many Ambush maps are too small to do much complex high speed maneuvering.
Bombers are generally more useful for anti-personel / AV, while fighters ensure aerial superiority,
and fighters would be largely useless without some bombing craft to counter.

I would say the problems largely revolve around the concept that adding fighters would be like adding Rock to a game that
lacked scissors.

They can't seriously release Fighters without bringing in Bomber Aircraft. I'm just hoping "Fighters" doesn't translate to "glorified Dropship".

just remove red line for jet

the redline already extends for aerial vehicles.
