I have taken a leave of absence due to the horrendous state dropships are in and have been in for quite some time, but i might come back on in 1.7.

Although, i wouldn't count on 1.7 as being a truly innovative update for dropships considering that they haven't really had a good/decent HP buff when compared to the fact that forge guns have still gone without a single nerf. Officer forge guns will still 1 shot proto logi and proto assault dropships, more than likely. Condor Squad is still there alright, but there's been a bit of a move-over to 1st Airborne, notably because of Judge Rhadamanthus' videos, really. He's a well-experienced pilot that has made cracking videos related to dropships. Most of us experienced vets have moved over. Python pilot, troop-transport specialist and an all-round ballbag.

Yeah him and I were going to have a 1 on 1 but he never got on during the times that I did, but I'm sure you've been flying with many other pilots i used to in Condor Squad (if they are still flying), and it's a good thing I have a heads up as to where the DS pilots have moved to, because I'll be at least trying 1.7 out hopefully with some other pilots.

I have been taking a Dust break as well. Sir Snugglz has as well. I think the game is sort of what kills social groups in dust. People take breaks and then those who are still playing seem to move on. When I return I'll hit up Condor Squad as like the second thing I do.

Figure I can teach how to adapt in 1.7 as well Pilot // Logistics
Skihids Unkn0wn Killers Renegade Alliance 2491	Posted - 2013.12.08 06:54:00 - [22] - Quote I haven't seen a reason to skill back into dropships yet. I'm hoping that changes in 1.7, but I'm not holding my breath. I despise the "auto level" training wheels CCP installed last patch, both because it removes any skill required to hover and because it screws with my ability to fly smoothly. It's always lifting the damn nose when I want a tilt to move forward. I loved flying and tried to make it work for months but I finally lost faith.

I had no idea that they implemented an auto leveling function already for dropships, and it sounds annoying if it's not triggered by a button but instead tries to fight with the pilot about what the computer wants to ship to do and what the pilot ACTUALLY wants the ship to do. Maybe it will get some tweaking in 1.7 or something, all i can say is i look forward to the new camera at least.

Hopefully flying a dropship is like riding a bike lol See you in 1st airborne! Yeah man of course i wasn't going to vanish for good, especially with the truly awesome things we have done with other pilots in Dust, it was just because of how CCP was never addressing the issues with DS and instead making them worse. But hopefully 1.7 makes them bearable through the finite ammo that deals more dmg & has a wider splash range (for missiles).
Broonfondle Majikthies Bannana Boat Corp Relentless Heroes Alliance 560	Posted - 2013.12.08 15:11:00 - [25] - Quote I may fly, I'm still torn. I love it so much but it simply doesn't work the way I fly. I want hit and run but more speed also. Hoping the Minmatar DS will deliver when thats released. You may see my poking around in a basic (nice to see I can use any races from 1 skill) but thats about it till then. Also If I do decide a Min DS is right for me I have no clue what skills to go for in the meantime. The heavier cost now means you have to specialise to your chosen vehicles needs. For e.g. will it be shield based or armour based? A Gal DS has no use for shield mods so gets a saving there. The reverse is true for Cal DS's. To be honest what I really really want is light aircraft. "...where Bylothgar the Ill-postured was made King of the People With No Name But Decent Footwear"

Let go of the stick and it levels off. I thought that Wolfman would correct the mistakes of Blam, but it continues to get worse regardless of who is at the helm. Instead of devoting time and energy toward making piloting a skilled occupation with a valuable support role they continue to remove player skill requirements and concentrate on DPS.
