The controls for the Dropships are.......unique to say the least, but overall I don't think they need to be changed. There are plenty of people (myself included) who have mastered piloting (though my DS gun game needs work). I've said it before and i'll say itvagain. The best way to learn to fly is to stack the max possible armor on a Grims and just fly. If you get an empty battle, fly under everything you can over and over, practice everything as much as possible. Don't be scared to lose the DS, and be prepared to spend a chunck of ISK, even after you have become a master pilot (seriously, 300k+ for an ADS? Its whatever, but ouch). Maybe i'm just being a greedy d*ck, but i busted my @ss learning how to fly, and I take massive pride in what i'm now able to do in a DS, and I guess I feel it would suck to watch the DS get dumbed down and have every reject in this god awful game floating around like an idiot (not refering to the OP here of course, just generalizing). It happened this past build with tanks, don't wanna see in happen to DS's.
@OP- I can offer to teach you, and fund you to an extent, but i've seen you around the forums since I started playing, I know you've been around way longer than me, so i'm not sure if there is anything i'd be able to teach that you probably haven't heard already.

I think it also needs to be brought up that DSing in actual combat also requires some pretty stout AV (usually). I'm lucky to have many different types of tankers in my Corp, and one in particular has a style that works great with my DSing style. I'm usually protected from the threat of installations, tanks, and other DSs. When this is all working at its best, I can float around the map andjst absolutely destroy infantry. You don't want to make it any easier for me or pilots like me. I will say the turret needs to be able to move completely free of the DS directional controls (on the ADS that is). I'd personally like a modifier button (maybe R2, cabt remember if thats mapped to anything in a DS) that allows you to turn the turret any direction without turning the actual DS (within reason of course. I'm not asking to shoot backwards, maybe any direction up to 80 degrees from the central aim point).
