Usually, I look across these dropship threads (ANY dropship thread), and find SO much ego, so much elbow slamming, so much drinks thrown in one another's faces, it's like a bar your friend tries to invite you to, but you step in the door and right away you know this is NOT a bar a gurl wants to hang in--NO freakin way. LOL.
So THANK you players for posting some of the funniest kicking-back dropship opinions I've read in a long time. No biting, to insults. So cool. You guys ROCK.
I love the Logistics role, so I can identify with the advice to go full-LOGI before you even set foot on a dropship. I still can't understand the mindset of anyone who would try to operate a Prometheus (or caldari equal) on ANY of these tiny battle maps we currently have. Unless you have friends using installations to "strerilize" the air as you make you moves, you don't stand a chance of survival longer than two or three matches. The dropship just wasn't MEANT for circular moth-flying in a salad bowl--I feel certain of that.
I no longer lose ISK when I'm using my DS.  No, I'm not bragging. I just:
 Never use anything above a Grimsnes in ANY match of Dust (Logi DS is EXCLUSIVELY reserved for whatever EVE-linked maps we may see next year. Even my "low cost" 550K fit-out is too expensive an investment to be seduced into taking the car-cover off and driving her down the public street.)
Never go out over a map without a REASON or purpose to my trip (today I'm gonna test the new Carapace Hardner, so my flight plan is... and leave the area by way of....)
 Never take the Acura if I know I'm going to give the kids a lift tonight---if I plan to pickup or create a squad of passengers, I pull out the family car (that's my 230K STD dropship..., ok, air conditioning will be included, but THAT's ALL!) Those fellow mercs put their feet all over the upholstery...and they spray plasma rounds and throw McDonalds wrappers at EVERY target they see!
230,000 ISK is a small loss, and even two losses are usually made up in a single two hour session on Dust (and assures me there's always some profit made on top).
At that rate, I'm the perfect Soccer Mom.
..."And you can learn to be a successful soccer mom too. All you need to do is purchase my introductory DVD for 5 ISK. If you enjoy it, then every other week the next installment DVD will be sent to your Merc Quarters with free shipping, and you only have to pay 10 Aurum for the DVD.
No refunds allowed, but I WILL throw in two bonus DVDs: " Low-calorie Redberry Pies", and "How To Make your Newberrys obey a Time-Out on an In-flight DS"... |
