Of bullshit deaths that cause the loss of my dropship, of skill less pussies that can shoot me down for even trying, I'm just so tiered of it.
Got on today and got so frustrated I just kept calling in dropships knowing full well what would happen. To be honest I'm at the breaking point here. Dropships are in the best state they have ever been and yet they are still unplayable. I wish I could prove that they are more useful than a cheap ride but with the current state of rail tanks that's about all they are worth.

A lot of people here on these forums dismiss dropship pilots as tanker wannabes, to them I say **** you. The amount of skill a dropship pilot has is more than a rail tanker could possibly hope to achieve. Yet they can still shoot us down so easily bankruptcy is pretty much assured.
I can kill tank, after tank, after tank and they can still call them in, shoot me down and make a profit. I am beginning to realize there is no hope for pilots, that all our efforts have been for not and that the dropship pilots will die out and go the way of the tanker.

I love flying my dropships, its where I get my fun out of dust. Today I didn't have fun, tomorrow it will be the same, and my isk will keep depleting. My hopes of being useful will continue to die along with my dropships, and no matter how good I get, no matter how hard I work or how skillful I fly I'll still end up in the same place, because an idiot figured out how to hold down r1.

I'm tiered, so very tiered, my will to fly is broken. I think I'll be taking a break from dust, maybe 1.8 will change things and make shooting dropships down as skillful as it is to fly them. Though I doubt it, tankers got what they wanted and now everyone is paying the price.

To my fellow pilots, I wish you luck, I hope you have the strength to endure these troubling times. I salute you o7

What i read:
WaaaWaaa Pharaoh wants nipple.
Dropships only have 2 counters but i still want for one of them to get nerfed
WAaawaaaaa.


HTFU.

Bro you really don't get it. Also I don't understand your first sentence.
Dropships have quite a few counters, but you already know that because I have told you many times. I do want a counter to dropships but you and I think of the word counter differently.

I see a counter as a weapon that a player must skill into and be skillful with.
You see a counter as the rail gun is now, an instant pop, no skill or thought.

As it stands, milita rail tank is better than my assault dropship that I have spent a YEAR putting sp into and becoming a skillful pilot. For what? An isk sink....3 games of work on the ground for 2 min of fun.

Yes if the dropship had no counters it would be op. However one swarm and a forge, a breach wiki, etc etc can kill dropships. I don't see how you cannot understand how loosing 707k isk a game to a milita tank is not fun for pilots.
I honestly like where the forge gun balance is with dropships. It requires them to skill into FG as much as I have skilled into dropships, they have to be smart and skillful when it comes to their engagements. Its a fun fight now instead of an instant kill like before 1.6, which is the exact opposite of milita tanks. No sp, hardly any isk, basically an instant kill and can sit in the redline and still shoot across the map. Its not fair, its not fun.

I doubt you even know how hard it is to fly a dropship and fly it well.
Why don't you go and try flying a dropship? Just a milita one, and see how long you last against a rail tank across the map deep in their redline. Try and do anything other than hide. I ******* dare you.

Bomber dropships are the only answer.
