A ramming DS is already cheap enough for people to throw them away like trash so a price reduction isn't going to increase rammers. Hell, I'd wager it might decrease them cause it wouldn't be as fun if I'm not costing someone a bunch of ISK each time. People like you that make us deserve an asteroid to sterilize the planet. And the games CCP has made seem specifically designed to attract people like that. Perhaps that's their plan, get all the people like that hooked enough to go to fanfest and then crash an asteroid into it, talk about crowd control. It's such an asinine idea that I wouldn't put it pass CCP.
They already tested phase 1
Attracted the DUST playerbase to fanfest then pull the rug from underneath them and kill dust, it was a minor success at fanfest since very few dust players went but it really worked well on the twitch stream where you watch from home

Soraya Xel wrote:Monkey MAC wrote:the thing is the only reason dropship ramming is seen as poor practice is because people have the vehement hatred of ADSes that suppressing them isn't seen as enough, people absolutely have to destroy them and it's simply not necessary. Actually, no. The reason people absolutely have to destroy them, is because you're playing an FPS, and you should die. If you aren't dying in a match, you need a nerf, so that you die more. Everyone should die. I don't go around not fully killing infantry because "well, I scared them off so that's good enough". No, I kill them. Because that's what you do. The idea that vehicle users shouldn't die and that AV should just be "suppressing" them is crazy.
It's not crazy, suppression is a big part of warfare, you suppress an enemy in an advantagoues position until such a point you are in a better posistion than them. It's warfare 101, while I'm all for the destruction of vehicles exactly how many times do you expect them to be dying per match?
You can't tell me you expect them to be as common as Infantry deaths, futhermore you can't expect me to believe that it should take more than 1 person to destroy a vehicle. Futhermore you can't tell me to elieve both statements simultaneously.
This game is not your standard FPS, death is more than just part of the game, every death every vehicle destruction, every revive has more consequences than simply your dead/or not.
1) You cannot expect vehicles to be destroyed as often as Infantry is, otherwise your average vehicle should cost as much as an equivalent tiered suit with appropriate mods and weapons.
2) You cannot expect vehicles to require more than 1 person in order to destroy, this creates a force strength imbalance and is something that we have been fighting to be rid of for a long long time.
3) Therefore you cannot expect vehicles to be dying at the same regularity as infantry WITHOUT teamwork. Yet at the same time teamwork should not be a necessity.
Vehicles and AV should be constants on the battlefield, people should be deploying straight into AV ready for the vehicles they know the other team are going to deploy. Vehicle warfare should be extensive, free flowing and important to the game as infantry otherwise theymwill never be balanced.
Futhermore you mean to tell me, you have never left an infantry unit behind cover while you shoot the next guy attempting to assault your point? You mean to tell me you've chased people and left your point to be capped by one of their teammates. You mean to tell me you have NEVER successfully retreated from an engagement you knew you were going to loose. You have never popped back into cover for repairs while the enemy continues to fire upon your posistion?
How exactly do you play? Do you run around like a headless chicken just killing everything you see? Are you one of these people that wolfpacks with whatever is the strongest weapon at the time? Do you have any regard for choke points, cover and higher ground?
Vehicles need to be capable of being destroyed byna single infantry person, but they should (as infantry does) have the opportunity to retreat when they realise the engagement is not going their way. That is balance.

I've tried it on few ocassions, failed most of the time (or just circled around). Why did I do it? Why not use the swarms to drive them away? Because he was pissing me off for 1/2 of the match, running away from my swarms with 300-400 armor. So I decided it will be much easier and cheaper to use a standard ds and try to ram him and make him lose ~300-500 k (which would probably made him go ISK negative in that match) or at least do similar work to what swarms did ( he had no time to shoot at infantry when trying to outmaneuver me trying to ram him). (I hope this is comprehensible. I'm having some problems with my english lately :P)
Yeah but there is my point, he is running away with 300-400 armour, if he is a python he now has return to his redline, put down his craft recall it and bring out another. If he is an incubus he has to wait in his redline outmof enemy fire until he is repped, in both circumstances he is effectively removed from battle, probably for a least a minute by the time you account for time to and from the redline, landing, taking off, so on and so forth.
Futhermore you can do this with an ADV swarm launcher and just one magazine each time. Which typically takes another 5 seconds before he scarpers of to his redline again and your 150 WP better off. Futhermore this entire minute is where their team is down a man, and your team isn't. He is effectively removed from battle, the only difference between him dying and him not dying is that he saves a bit of money, cause let's be honest if the pilot knows that what he is doingmis keeping his team in the running you can blow it up as many times as you like and he will still come back. Futhermore you actually gain more by letting him leave, if you destroy 2 dropships you earn 600,000 ISK to the salvage pot to be split between 16 players you will likely see no more than 20,000 of this yourself, probably less, but by letting him live you can pull in massive WP and get a larger share of the profit overall often jumping your pay by as much as 50-80,000 ISK

I would totally be cool with vehicles being as cheap as an equivalent dropsuit if they weren't OP as sin. Players should expect to die in an FPS.

I think a dedicated anti-vehicle player should be able to take down and kill a vehicle player, yes. One player should roughly equal one player. If we don't have that, then vehicles are unbalanced, because they allow players to be inherently "better" than others.
I'm actually entirely confused where this train of thought went. Are you sure you didn't phrase something incorrectly?

I am not saying it should be impossible for a vehicle to escape. But it should not be a guarantee. Right now, the current hardener system and V/AV balance guarantees vehicles the ability to successfully retreat at least once.

I play a lot of different roles, in a lot of different positions. Both solo and with squads. Lately I'm somewhat fond of my forge gun.

Sure, I can agree with that. But bear in mind, a significant amount of engagements, there is no way for infantry to retreat from a tank or dropship. But on the other hand, vehicles can almost always retreat from infantry AV. Particularly given the short range of swarms.

Either you tried to hard to shoot them down, or didn't pay attention to your surroundings.
Ramming an ADS was one of my favourite pastimes, but I only ever succeeded when a pilot overextended themselves, or when I swooped in like a madman from halfway across the map.
I just sit and wait..... Once he gets occupied, I move in for the kill. Usually a dive bomb from 30,000 feet. If he gives me a hard time, I pull out my ADS and ram him with that.
Then we have a shoot out when we both crash.<----best part |

Justin Tymes wrote:Swarms already were bad at taking out Dropships. With Proto Swarms being nerfed yet again, expect this tactic to not only continue, but surge in popularity.
WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK SWARMS ARE GETTING NERFED!!! They are simply shooting less rounds that deal more damage to compensate for the fewer shots fired. If anything they are getting buffed (mainly against dropships) because it'll now take fewer connected impact missiles to do the same damage. EX: you shoot swarms at me and I try to fly away before I die, I get away from all but two of the missiles(THIS MEANS THERE MAX AMOUNT OF ROUNDS THAT HIT ME IS 2) . You would be doing much more damage with the two missiles that would hit me in hot fix Charlie than what would hit me before HFC. But if all the missiles hit me (preHFC/HFC) you would be doing the same damage.
Think of the swarm as a percent, and when everything hits it equals 100%. If you shoot 10 shots that means it takes 5 to hit to do 50% total damage. Where as if you shot 4 shot, it would only take 2 out of the 4 to do the exact same damage (so long as the total damage if each swarm is equal to each other). |

There is a difference between dying and dying regularly, you do not come to an FPS to die regularly especially not one where dying actually penalises your player.

If you're familiar enough with flying a dropship, it only gets easier. There's hardly any skill at all to it when ramming...

It dies to SMG fire.
No, seriously, I'd foresee a dropship particularly used for deployment only, maybe without any weaponry at all. I think transport dropships should be fairly tanky.
Similar to cloaks on infantry, when it moves, it'd shimmer. But of course, that'd have to be scaled to work right given that dropships normally move a heck of a lot faster than scouts. ;)

You mean an afterburner, to which I have proposed and CCP have said they are considering improvements to Swarm Launchers operational parameters. Also even with an afterburner you aren't guaranteed to out run a forge gun.
Which is why I personally prefer a Shield Booster on my Incubus. Which may seem weird to alot of people but I get more uptime out of it to help out my team.

Wrong
I use one on my ADS
But i compare the hardener to other options, if its worse than the other options then there is no point in using it over the other options and half the time the hardener is quite useless |

If you guy's "Fix" dropships by just simply reducing the cost? WOWWWWW.......
Big picture please.
What are dropships for in DUST?
What should be their main purpose in DUST?
What should be their secondary purpose?
How can we change stats and fittings to best fit our conclusions?
How can we encourage players to use the item as a functional piece to the battlefield?
Do we really want a glorified slayer Fighter?
What function or role can a dropship fill that actually helps DUST gameplay and an evolving battlefield?
This is what needs to be done before any balancing is ever done. The big picture general concept and questions.
We still don't know what the Assault suit is actually for in DUST.
And we sure as hell don't even know what the Dropship is even for in DUST.
Changing a number here and there to do very very small picture changes, that affect a big picture is just assbackwards in every way. |

Futhermore most tankers (wrongly or not ) write off hardeners anyway.
If you use an Assault Dropship, then yes it is a guarantee. Assuming you're mildly competent, of course What idiot writes off hardeners?
I've been writing them off on Madrugars. I'm doing much better with reps, plate, speed, damage and keep moving around. Haven't written them off for Gunni though. Need them.
