After your dropship has zero shields and armor and I blast it again with my railgun why does the dropships not explode? My tank does why not a dropship?

I've seen this before. I 'killed' a dropship with a straight on forge gun blast and it started plummeting to the ground. I got no war points and the kill feed read that 6 mercs spontaneously committed suicide.
GǪwtf?! |

Science?
I bet you think math and physics are relative here too.

By science I mean nothing. The only reason is so that derpships aren't completely useless.

That's because they all jumped out.
The issue is that for some reason the game forces the ejects on the side of the ship that's falling toward the ground, resulting in every single person trying to bail getting run over by the flaming wreckage in midair.

Have you ever watched any DUST trailers?
You would notice at least one dropship on fire and spinning out of control before crashing to the ground.
CCP loves to abuse the dropship and that means prolonging their destruction so everyone can see just how miserable they are.
The one happy side effect is that it is occasionally possible to bail out and escape the destruction. |

the only trouble i have is when you kill the dropship the pilot can just jump out like nothing happened, i mean you can get out of a vehicle but not AFTER it was destroyed by AV
Dragons don't have friends. The nearest we can get to the idea is an enemy who is still alive.

It's really hit or miss, no pun intended. I've seen dropships blow up in air, rarely, but it does happen. More often than not you're correct in saying they fall to the ground and you get no credit for the destruction or kills.
Also, is it possible to shoot the pilot out of a dropship? I've heard rumors of people saying they have before but I have yet to actually witness it myself. |

They wanted the game to appear as though it had cool looking vehicle deaths, and an air vehicle falling out of the sky and crashing is a staple of that.
Unfortunately in order to have this only two options are possible.
1. (current) Delay the death of the vehicle itself upon reaching 0 HP, and disable controls so it automatically falls from the sky. This gives passengers a chance to bail out.
2. Kill the vehicle instantly, along with all passengers. To have the remains fall to the ground afterwards would require a new set of physics logic within the game, which couldn't use the current ragdoll physics as it treats all objects too light regardless of their weight. It would also create additional lag in the game as that particular aspect of the physics engine would have to be run from the server and not the client. If it was run from the client, debris could fall from the sky and crush an opponent on one persons screen, but it could do something entirely different on another persons screen due to small inconsistencies in the client to server data.
Number 2 requires a substantial amount of work, and as you may have noticed they are already dashing around trying to make the game not feel like ass in more important areas like frame rate. Or at least we hope they are. |
