Two hits from a forge gun and the ship never gets off the ground. If it does get off the ground one/two hit from a swarm launcher and you're retreating back behind buildings and hitting the overdrive to reach your redline if you make it at all. These ships offer great advantage when used properly but at the cost they sit at now i dont feel you're getting your moneys worth. Perhaps countermeasures for swarm launchers might bring these aerial menaces back into the fight. As i see it now, paying up to a million for a flying coke can with inaccurate missile launchers on the side doesn't seem worth it. In rare occasion you may have a pilot who has upgraded their dropship to actually be somewhat survivable but only enough to retreat and come back.
Maybe upping the armor and taking away any damage repair mods. Doing this makes the up armored dropship harder to one shot but also means after taking a few hits the pilot needs to return back to a safe area to make repairs and then go back up. Just an idea not sure if im alone in this but someone correct me if i'm wrong. |

Well drop ships are only meant for transportation but the problem is getting people in and getting them out. But if you are trying to stay in a area for an extended period of time, stack active hardners and hope you don't run into 2-3 AVers |

I run into a PG issue there, I guess I need to dump some more SP into dropships and see if i get better results. Flying Pythons btw. |

Oh I fly only armor. But with dual active harderners, for armor, I have survived countless swarm hits (have to have the repair module running of course). |

New dropships are HAWT, aside from there only being basic ones 
I'm not flying anymore until these changes go through, I'd rather be reimbursed for all my Prometheus so I can have more ships at that time. I don't even need a respec to rock dropships since I'm almost there with skills anyways, but the inevitable respec will help me return to where I was when the game officially launched. |

Have you ever lost a dropship while in flight to AV grenades?
I've killed a couple that way. Always seems funny, and a little rediculous. |

This happens to me when I'm trying to get my gunner killed sometimes. I hover a little too close for a little too long and next thing I know I'm rocking to the side, the warning lights are going off, then I wake up covered in clone goo. |

Happened twice, once when I was just taking off and half the enemy team turned the corned and spammed like hell and the other was me being stupid and hovering way too low and some dude had lai dais. It will never happen again. |
