DUST Search - ds are still horribly weak

I feel like railguns should have their damage reduced to about 75% efficiency against DS or something... enough that you won't get lol1shot except for untanked Cal DS, but enough that you can't just sit there and tank it.

Also fix the redline, but that's a whole 'nother discussion.

a fitted galente can tank one rail hit, usually 2. if they're getting one shotted it's not from a rail it's from the odd chance a null cannon hitting them.

*unless it's a critical hit on the engine

%75 reduction is way too much. %20 at the most. but i dont think a damge reduction would be the best route. i like the nerf to turret elavation idea more

more urgent is a fix to assault dropships how they are flipped over on their back after taking a rail hit- it would be possible to dodge the next shot except the Incubus gets flipped on it's back after any kind of rail hit- this inlcudes the blue berries who sit in redline rail turrets and make it their mission to grieve friendly dropships the entire match by knocking them on their backs.,

And its pretty much only railtanks that pop u right? So its probably more a op rail issue than an up ds issue. Forge guns Nope. Unless I que breqch shots into you you're going to escape my 300m range. It's either lol1shot or nothing. Happily printing ISK with permahardeners and MLT blasters.

HAVs are intended for combat. The same turrets can be used on both vehicles. Your argument is invalid. Quote: Also ccp wants it that way Because the effects of things in the game are very much in line with what CCP wants and does not want - that's why things are nerfed so often. Oh wait. Your argument is invalid. Quote: Oh and they would cost so much They're tech-2 items. They're not intended for general use, the same as the Enforcers. If you could make a profit in those it's because you were railing from the redline. Your argument is invalid. Happily printing ISK with permahardeners and MLT blasters.

Or that the SLAV justified its 90k price tag? Some items shouldn't be used in pubs. Apparently CCP thinks ADS is one of those things. I'm not saying I agree with it, but that's how it looks based on pricing schema. Actually I don't hate dropships. Not really sure where you got that idea. I do dislike your idiotic arguments. Your main get banned, jerrmy?

Honestly I'm not a fan of ADS in the first place (although that might be a leftover from the old suggestion of Bomber DS - I mean, really). Forge on for great justice! Defend the meek! Destroy the weak! Q-sync breaches into the rectum of everyone else!
