@Rhadamanthus: Make a special video just for this. I will give you all my love. Make sure you mention that we need to be able to customise; all pilots fly differently. We need different options.

Show them the difficulty of getting our bearings in first person.

Also, transparency options.

And and and passenger views; if you could get a video on how bloody limiting the visibility is in the cabin.

ADS turrets in first person... facepalm.

The uselessness of X for cabin doors. Make it show a message that is something along the lines of "Please deploy" flash on passenger's screens.

In EVE the logic for the third-person view is that they have camera drones following the ship. Assuming we have the same thing, we need to be able to position this drone where we want.

Challenge Accepted. My life is full of love. It's not full of ISK though.

There's a skype discussion that Hanz the CPM has going. Recently he was asking if anyone has any camera footage that shows where they liked the camera in the past so they have a reference point.

I do. Let me put it all into a video so pilots can see, compare and vote. I have footage from 1.3 - 1.4 - 1.5 and 1.6

I'm working on it right now (11:12 EVE time 7th November 2013) I'll need 3 days I think to find the footage, film some new stuff, write the script, record the narration, do the edits and upload it. However my 1.3 and 1.4 footage is from my Ipad filming days, while 1.5 and 1.6 is capture card. So the ship is located differently on screen and the scale is different. It will work but it won't be perfect.

I think It will be ready on the 9th November 2013. Sorry, but its a lot of work and I have a job to go to. I'll do my best.

Dropship pilots, vehicle pilots, assault slayers, AVers, do you understand the plight this man faces? Do you understand the sacrifice he is willing to make, even for something that CCP may not even regard? Do you understand how far he is willing to go to ensure pilots for future generations who join DUST 514 have a place in the skies they can call their own? So show me you understand! Show all of these people who live only to proclaim the doom of DUST, only to extol the virtues of other games which will all eventually fall. Show this forum that love and hope can rise even from the murky depths of the depressing black background we've had for a year and a bit. Join me in supporting Rhadamanthus, probably the second best thing that has happened to us dropship pilots since Skihids' first ever fully-fledged written guide on dropship piloting. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if his videos surpass Skihids' guide in terms of accessibility and newbie-friendliness. ISK is a problem for all of us and for someone dedicated to the art of dropship piloting this is no exception. I will lead the charge. This time tomorrow Rhadamanthus will be 5million ISK richer. Join me, pilots. Join me, DUST bunnies! Show the world how closely-knit this community is, even when the world remains disbelieving.

But still, only ten people (plus Arkena's friends) and we are here already. Awesome, bloody awesome. I'm throwing in another 5mill. :D And to the question why does he need so much ISK, I answer with another: "why do you use AV?"

I contributed as a thank you for creating his video series. Dropships are not easy and I learned a lot from them. I'm hoping my contribution will buy him a few more ships so he can keep flying and making educational videos. All joking aside, Rhadamathus is a very valuable member of this community who is going beyond the call to create quality content that serves to enhance the growth and development of DUST 514, a game I very much care about. I will show my support for this fund both from my own pocket and the funds that I manage to swipe from my corporate wallet. Hahah, that's awesome. Once you have a defined amount, I'll list it as contributions from Xer Cloud Consortium as a whole. :) "..things that some people frankly don't even get the chance to do in real life, because it's poorly designed." -Veigar

They aren't special 'Cause Rhadamanthus, despite probably wishing he could make videos for HAVs and LAVs if he had the resources, is a dropship pilot. So I'm appealing to those who would be most strongly affected. Not saying you guys aren't important; he's just more important to us DS pilots than a tanker or murder-taxi driver. Donations would be greatly appreciated nevertheless. Do it for change! This ISK will go into videos which not only assist in showing everyone how to fly dropships, but also in convincing CCP for change to dropship mechanics, which is awesome!
