Loaded in and went straight into a game, heard some noise about dropship changes so thought i would stat here. Dropship comes in and i start flying away. my first thought was "did i call in a gorgon?" i had to check and fire a round to check it was an ADS.
Okay so it handles now like a chopper carrying a skip loaded with used washing machines. Okay well fair enough lets go see what it can do.
Hovering over the point i see two dudes jump out of an LAV and immediately look up at me with the same look a tiger gives that little gazelle before someone turns into a buffet luncheon. Nevermind i think, i can take two dudes on.......
4 swarms later im lying on the floor surrounded by smoking wreckage with my front teeth in my hands and my balls slightly aching..... "wow swarms hit hard now"
So even tho i was in a pretty tanked Incubus and even tho i kicked the afterburner expecting to yolo out of there like Maverick and Goose, it all went wrong.
So i have to ask, why CCP would you severely limit the functionality of one of the most unique and interesting aspects of a very mediocre game? Dropships gave this game a certain 'flair' and frankly are still incredibly overpriced for there now apparent capabilities.
I recall someone telling me 'this is due to the numbers saying they are OP' well if the numbers are correct, then your game is also a massive failure and you should just shut down the servers now.....going by the numbers....if they are that important to you.
Is anyone alive at the wheel of this game anymore? feels like its pretty much just the 'number boyz' now pushing their own agendas. This continues to show an every increasing slide into balancing being all that matters.
Oh well - back to Destiny. Once, I was also killed by two players
CEO pyrex has got too used to easy mode, tut tut.
That being said, I would love to get Judge Rad involved with this because I honestly do think that while some nerfs were needed (the AB change) you did go a little over the top with the nerf bat.
The biggest thing other than the RoF is I keep hearing people say that you nerfed the speed / manoeuvrability of the ADS (normal mode no afterburner on) is this true?
I really need to log on my alt n test it for myself.

It is not surprising then that you played one game, got killed when you decided to take on two AV players, and are now complaining again.
History has a way of repeating itself, and I'm glad they took away your crutch -- the game is better for it....Leadfoot
p.s. lolDestiny -- the game of boring bots and PvP otherwise known as OHK.
Its not so much that Destiny PVP is bad as we have one hit weapons in dust too.
Its that it offers nothing new or exciting. Simple cod like arenas. Yes DUST could certainly do with more and new fresh game modes too.
Oh and more on topic - ADS are still fine, there is a lot of over hype on this subject.
The only things ADS need is 5% RoF bonus instead of the shoddy 3%, possibly a few other touches later (IF we are keeping swarms in their new powerful uber state)

Acting all high and mighty over it is simply obnoxious. Really, I don't have personal problems with the ADS. (I tend to use a forge gun, which generally works well.) But it doesn't make them any less hilariously OP, and any less deserving of a nerf. It isn't about the dropships at all, if anything, it's heckling people who are very apparently grossly trying to protect their OPness, rather than realizing good balance will make the game better for everyone. Note there are some ADS pilots who have made legitimate commentary. That they want a chance to kill infantry, just as infantry has a chance to kill them. I am totally cool with that, and if changes can be made to better enable fair gameplay between the two, I am all for it. But people talking about how their dropship shouldn't be killable by this or that, they're going to get the troll response.
Soraya in a lot of ways you have managed to achieve good balance with the assault dropships. However there are a few things we must also address in the interests of fairness.
Small Turrets
I would like to hear other peoples opinion but as it stands we are back to the Missile launcher being the king ADS weapon again. Small blaster seem great for door gunning work however they are never going to cut it as the ADS main weapon.
Small railgun RoF was reduced a little bit too much, it needs some of that RoF back.
Small blasters - shall we just assume that they are not intended for ADS pilot work and are instead actually now a pretty good anti infantry weapon for other vehicles and side door gunners on dropships?
Small missiles - are great and should be the standard we judge by.
Redline Anti Aircraft AV / Red line tanks
This is a smaller issue but it is still prevalent on certain maps. A single railgun tank can still shutdown a big portion of some maps for an AD pilot with near immunity. A Missile tank could probably do just as good of a job however the are less common.
I cant say I know what the exact solution should be other than give ADS pilots a slightly larger redline zone so we can go in an attack for additional time?
