No.

Situational awareness.

That or get some good headphones/ turn the volume up. You can hear another dropship coming a mile away.

When one object strikes another and does damage to both I believe that's called physics not an exploit. Remember risk vs reward, that drop ship they crashed into you cost them money as well, and for that matter if you have little Isk then you shouldn't be calling out the pricey toys if you are not prepared to lose them.

It's a valid tactic, let it stay. Funny too. I get hatemail when I ram other pilots. ADS pliots HATE getting rammed,

Actually I typed lol and no popped up. DS Pilots are the whiniest bitches right after scouts and tankers. I fucken love destroying them. Even blue ones. I shot a few of my own teams DS down in ambush this afternoon.

with the swarm launcher range how else you suppose to down a dropship from goin 30-0 so stop crying

I've lost dozens of millions of ISK to ramming, but I don't think it should be removed completely. Just made more like the old tank ramming mechanics, which was so that you needed to be doing at least ~75% of your max speed to apply full damage and even then you only damaged as much as you had total HP left and took as much damage as the person you rammed had total HP left. Now it's more like doing your possible total HP in damage at any speed and then some more. I've been flying over 4k total HP Incubus and been rammed down by damaged Python with less than 3k possible total HP only because he was slowly coming towards me in a dogfight (where he/she kept missing) and I thought I could take the very slight collision.

The reason I said total HP and not EHP is because hardeners have no effect on ramming as far as I know.

Forges are in an ok place with a decently fitted dropship. You can either kill the forge gunner (highlighted by the giant glow on the ground) or get away from them

MCC damage and ramming goes back to horribly broken collision detection.

The hull should be reduced by 100-150k but should cost more than tanks as they provide a good amount of superiority and in a good pilots hands can survive very well.

you're

You should be penalized for your mistakes and every collision is pilot error, even if it was someone else ramming you, it was still pilot error.

Personally I would do it every match if I could fly, IMO it's the most OP thing in the game if your a good pilot.
Swoop in kill five guys, take a hit, after burners to the sky out of reach, repair repeat, this thread screams nerf my only counter!

You're not sorry.

I've seen you complain about Missile Turrets and getting rammed by dropships.

Does your complaining know no bounds?

I don't think it counts when it's your poor flight skills that are exploited.

Ramming should be 'v'alid' only if you have to be going near or at full speed, and only if you have more as much HP as your taget. Nudging another ship should't be enough to explode it. Unless you pack R.E.s on it of course.

OF course pilots should not be immune to collision damage. At the moment however, its rediculous. By the same reasoning a soma merely brushing a madrugar should explode both tanks.

hard to do.

While I don't agree it is an exploit, it is pretty damn annoying. I dodge most suicide dropships, there are still quite a few that I only see as their head lights come into view, which is far to late.
The most disappointing is when you go to restock and you land next to a SD and then they ram you in the red line. Its basically JLAVing but with far less skill or risk.

In all reality its funny they can't kill probably the easiest vehicle to destroy in the game by any other means except ramming it. Its kind of flattering, if my dropships didn't cost so much I wouldn't mind it....so much.
