I hate that look. Hur dur blue why would a dropship land by you? Maybe he saw the 6+ reds coming to kill you and your buddy......and their dead, oh well.

The best hot extract I ever had was with a sniper who was surrounded by reds on a roof. (In my squad of course) when I got over there it looked like a firing squad, he was against a wall with 3 ar reds aiming at him. Some how he managed to dodge their shots (pre AA days) duke one out while the other two followed. I came in so close that I crushed one of the reds between my dropship and the building while I slid over and came up next to my sniper. He jumped off the roof into the dropship as I lifted up and then jumped out the other side and slid down the side of this valley and killed two guys while I fired missiles to keep the reds from chasing.
Was the most epic extract I think I've ever done, so sometimes I guess you don't have to land sometimes.

I'm not suggesting the dropship has to land to make this work. Back a couple builds ago I did some spot deployment practice with my corp mates and we found that the pilot could drop a squad close to the target when flying at speed (not afterburner though) if he gave is squad a count down to jump. The dropship could very possibly slow to a hover for deployment now that we can activate multiple hardeners. A pilot with a fair amount of SP should be able to run dual or tripple hardeners on a STD ship if he pulled the turrets. Those could be MLT modules as the only differnece is a longer cool down and he could bug out for that. Maybe a shield extender and two hardeners would do it. You could take out any dangerous turrets prior to assault with a rail tank, FG, or SL to make the approach safer. i didnt know you could stack active hardeners thats crazy/awesome as a general rule i just fly MLT fit until it's obvious we will hold at least %60 of the skirmish u can ban the troll out of the forums but u can't ban the forums out of the troll.
