DUST Search - Assault Dropships

I think they said it best. It's hard and expensive. I'm not a great one and only use MLT missiles but proto modules and I can average between 7 to 10 kills a match with mild AV. With hardcore AV I will get between 3 and 5. If there is no AV well the sky is the limit.

When I use my corpmates I get about 20. He has proto missile turret on his incubus as I use MLT. He gets between 15 and 30+ pretty much any match.

Just remember you will lose a lot of isk learning. You will have to experiment with fits a lot. And, unfortunately, there are scrubs that will use their tank to run over your drop ship as it is being dropped even if they are on the same team. There are scrubs that will steal it or sit in it indefinitely so you can't recall it. There are scrubs that purposely crash into it with a gorgon or viper even if they are in the same team.

The physics and hit detection or highly broken. If a forge gun hits me from the left it might indicate I got hit from the right. Swarms can not render and be invisible. Forge projectiles can do the same.

Lots of things to deal with BUT still worth it IMO.

Anyway, the MCC cannons do a lot of damage, they're missiles meant to destroy ships the size of small towns after all. Just point your gun at your MCC in the start of a round and see how much health they actually have. Then you'd understand. Shaman Zorig of the Vherokior Tribe
Stefan Stahl Seituoda Taskforce Command 688	Posted - 2014.07.17 14:26:00 - [19] - Quote By the way, do the NULL cannon missiles actually proceed on their merry way after striking a vehicle? I can imagine calling in a number of MLT dropships to block out the incoming damage by hovering above the missile impact point on top of the MCC. Science calls!
Jaselyn Cabellos Dude.Man.Bro 13	Posted - 2014.07.20 07:13:00 - [20] - Quote Missles from a friendly MCC will hit the drop ship but will not deal damage. Stall in front of the enemy MCC and the missle will strike and deal damage. Although, none of the Missiles will continue on there path but the enemy MCC will take the damage the missle should have done. Land right in the middle of the MCC and the Null Cannon missle will destroy you :)
