Judge Rhadamanthus wrote:i do NOT support it. Why? well, emergent game play is good. it brings new tactics to a battle and changes the status quo. Any game play has to be balanced. Emergent tactics like bomb trucks, or ramming dropships; or non emergant such as militia RR against Proto heavy have to be balanced in the same way.
The ramming dropship is a valid tactic but it by-passes balance. A cheap and disposable zero sp item causes as much damage as a high SP and expensive item. Two people clash, yet the damage done by militia is as much as the damage done by proto. This model does not exist elsewhere in DUST so should not exist here.
If I see a player in a proto suit and a gun killing everyone on the objective, I don't think "i better go get my militia suit and deal with this guy" the response had to scale with the threat. Yes i should be able to take him on, but not on equal terms. A militia DS hits a top level ADS for more damage. That is backwards.
I'd call it emergent game play through gritted teeth as these kinds of butthurt and easy tactics have existed in games for ages as you probably know.
I think it's stupid and especially when you are flying shield drop ships and a gorgon scrub can literally harass and destroy you often during play when you are flying a regular drop ship with gunners.
I can't count how many times that i am flying my pimped Myron withgunners while having a battle with a grimsnes and they either ram before they get beaten or they skip the gunfight and go straight for ramming.
Not exactly emergent game play, more like an emergent butthurt/lack of skill hoop.

Though I probably will collapse at my desk and wake up to not losing any sleep
I stayed up all night trying to catch some sleep git the traps set and everything.
Correct me if I am wrong on this, but doesn`t it take more piloting skill to hit a moving dropship than it takes to avoid one?
I'm no great pilot but teabagging any ds with my ds when they are busy is as easy as pie and the same goes for ramming.
It would take skill if ds pilots had an extra set of eyes to actually see you coming or a permanent scanner.
