No, Xaviah... Don't modify your dropship thread. Just try to be mellow. Some of the posts here are right---CCP DOES go through the ton (aka BILLION) of posts here, and try to consider them all. But, let's face it... SOME of us are just AWFUL at expressing our thoughts in a way that is PURPOSEFUL, USEFUL, UNDERSTANDABLE, and INVITES ASSISTANCE.
It's like a job interview sometimes... if you REALLY WANT the person to consider you for the job, you have to take all the basic communication lessons they taught you in school (stuff you always thought was corny, old and ********), and present your ideas in a harmless, non-sucking-up, non-BS-brownnosing, but non-"Dude I don't give **** if you hire me, your whole fart establishment just BLOWS anyway" style. I don't care what the age of some of us here is... some of us are just impossible to respond to or to accept ideas from. LOL, and the ones who fit this description don't understand why they don't get anywhere with their requests?
I train in DS alot, so I try to read most of the dropship related Feedback/Requests... they tend to be SO subjectively-presented and spoiled in dialogue that they "read" like tantrums from ballerina prima-donnas... I try to admire fellow DS drivers, but it's so hard sometimes... It as if there's just too much "Pilot" vanity in us. Yikes, how can anyone 'adultly' respond to THAT much vanity?
In reaction, I DID post a single "Dropship" thread a month back, which tried to be calm, and just give a few general visibility needs that I thought MOST DS players can't easily disagree with.
Patch 1.5 actually DID implement THREE of the ideas from my post (could be coincidence, could've been my presentation style, who knows): * My thread suggested they keep the DS fully visible (about the same open space as an Audi in a two-car garage), thrusters visible no matter what the maneuver your'e doing; * I suggested the camera's vector was too far forward of the ship for everyone's comfort and should be further experimented with; * and I suggested whatever new camera controls they try should never lose the importance of a 'downward-front' view.
Their experiment in 1.5 DS is easier to enjoy than 1.4's DS (for MANY of us, not ALL). Some players have already explained this better-- 1.5 is more Navigation-friendly and less Combat/Assault-friendly, but "transport" seems to be what CCP wants as fundamental in dropships... ...but honestly it will take a week of riding this surfboard to draw a fair conclusion.
And I love that the devs almost always try to fix it with something "new" rather than give up and just restore the "chromosome" or "pre-uprising" versions to pacify folks. That takes guts--so ROCK ON, CCP!
In the meantime, if you're not entirely happy with the way CCP DID respond to at least ONE dropship feedback thread... it's ok.... you can just blame ME. The name's CELESTA AUNGM. That's C..E..L... um, E... err...

Wow, Vyzion... I didn't find Dust until the last Beta, so I missed Precursor, etc. Were dropships really as nightmarish as that in Precursor? That dangerous to the enemy?
