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. |

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".
It already did once.. Maybe that was the fighter in realization? Ew I hope not. |

Thanks for the thoughts guys.
Unless your a game developer - I would like to know where so many people get their "expert" status to make these odd negative comments, game calls, please post Certificates with your flame posts (lol)
Any does not matter we gain SP passively, I will just stop playing for a few months at worst until I hear of the Fighter release, then I will dump SP into it. Its a CCP game I expect it will take time.
P.S I am annoyed that we don't have more (same as everyone). I understand we have room to improve but I thought the game release would at least compare and be competitive with other games on the market. Where right now we are far from the game experience of any FPS on the market released at the same time as Dust. |

I highly doubt you want Dust Fighters to be vulnerable to sporadic and lucky infantry rifle/machine gun fire (again in regards not to HP, but speed, maneuverability, and altitude). Honestly my take on Iron Wolf Sabers post from the other thread makes me feel like Fighters will be closer to Gun Ships/Glorified Dropships. I have no idea what kind of solid info he actually has, but his post gave me a mental picture of a Fighter I would want nothing to do with. The Red Barron analogy would fit for the vision Wolf painted.
We are just looking at concept drawing and having fun. Relax... There is a good chance the new dropship is the "jet fighter".
But you never know. The other post also had concept drawing of all the suits, I did not see pilot suit, unless it is a scout variant.
Anyway,  |
