Juno Tristan Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 107	Posted - 2014.10.20 14:53:00 - [1] - Quote So I've been dying a lot in dropships these days and 9 out of 10 times I've 'Committed Suicide' as opposed the the swarm launcher/forge that downed me appearing in the kill feed I'm not bailing out as lol starter fit, so I was wondering what cause of death shows up in CCPs stats

Juno Tristan Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 107	Posted - 2014.10.20 15:27:00 - [7] - Quote Well my point was do they see that a swarm/forge killed me (useful data) or that I died of an unknown source (poor data)?

Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 3756	Posted - 2014.10.20 17:17:00 - [13] - Quote it shows up as a suicide for the same reason that it shows up as a suicide when your LAV is shot by a tank railgun. It ahh... ahem ... had six remote explosives strapped to the bumper. Your dropships hit the ground it counts as a collision kill, just like the RE is your own equipment, hence it's counted as a suicide because the only roadkill awarded to another player is when a dropsuit gets run over or crushed by a vehicle. hilariously your crashing dropship DOES count for this if the wreck lands on someone. I still think the jihad jeep secondary explosions should award the tank driver a kill. I also think it should award me -50 warpoints when I giggle and shoot an enemy RE under a blueberry who's hacking a point deliberately. But that's the way the code happens. EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.

So follow up, does it show what caused the most damage to a Dropship? Swarm/floor impact etc
Nothing Certain Bioshock Rejects 1241	Posted - 2014.10.20 21:50:00 - [17] - Quote I find this an interesting thread. I almost never get credit for a kill on a dropship and I assumed everyone bailed. If they are dying from suicide or road kill then not only don't get points for the kill the data is screwed and skewed. Because, that's why.

Juno Tristan Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 120	Posted - 2014.10.26 11:04:00 - [19] - Quote So of the 20+ ADS deaths i've had this week i would say the split is 70% 'Suicides' 10% (Died) 10% Swarm Launchers 5% Forge 5% Rail of which the real cause of death would be 60% swarms 15% Forge 10% Rail 10% Kamikaze pilots 5% my piloting 'skills' From my not so extensive research I think the reason swarms do not show up so much as the cause of death is that I'm dropping altitude to gain speed and avoid the swarms. This brings me closer to the ground so when that final volley gets me I hit the ground before i blow up and therefore I 'Suicide'

Really? Logis huh? I guess you not being a pilot you wouldn't know that the suit inside the cockpit matters. Lets take a look at what logis need to skill into: Logi suit scanners rep tools uplinks hives armor repair armor plates armor buff shield extenders (depending on the logi, rechargers and regulators) shield buff Core upgrades dropsuit engineering dropsuit electronics light weapon grenades I'm probably missing a few, but lets take a look at what pilots need for their dropsuit dropsuit uplinks hives armor repair armor plates armor buff shield extenders shield buff Core upgrades dropsuit engineering dropsuit electronics depending on the suit, codebreakers are a must (min scout makes a good pilot suit for speed hacks, gotta care about the objective at some point) Precision enhancers Range amplifiers light weapon (long range weaponry helps our rendering) sidearm weapons grenades (fluxes) Now let's check what we need for the ADS Shield fitting OP (admittedly, not that big an issue, wish it was TBH) Armor fitting OP Armor repair efficiency Armor plates/reps Armor movement reduction (forget the name) Shield modules Shield passive regen charge (again,forget the name, but it reduces shield recharge time) Python ROF Incubus ROF dropship skill ADS skill itself the AB skill (still forgot the name) Core grid management if you're a fan of hardeners, engine core calibration is good Vehicle engineering small turret operation missile turret operation missile turret proficiency (admitted, only lvl 3 needed) missile turret fitting OP (in a theory, you can run the best python fit with maxed out fitting OP) Missile reload speed (most important skill infact) rail turret operation rail turret reload speed rail turret ammo capacity (it runs out rather quickly without) You'll probably say something like your ground suit is taking other roles from other suits. Half true, but allow me a few questions before you say something along those lines Can the logi suit grow wings and fly to throw links on the high ground, then rain unholy hell upon the enemy ground troops with his rifle, while still flying? If he can, I'll be retiring. Can the Amarr scout you'd use to scan survive an HMG burst? I'd wager no. Can the Min scout you'd use to hack a point throw a 2 ton flying machine in front of a point to cover his hack? perhaps, but it'd take a heck of a lot longer without an ADS. Can a properly fitted pilot suit, if shot down, survive a barrage from any rifle without the help of armor plates and shield extenders? Hell no, as it is, my pilot suit has the protection of a great value condom. I skilled into all my ground skills to compliment my ADS and work in tandem with her, along with the others which are there in the event I'm downed and need to defend myself. You skilled into your minmando to work in tandem with your swarms, how is my skill tree any different? And on the you can't kill vehicles unless they're parked, this must explain why I was shot down multiple times by swarms while flying at 120 meters a second, because I was parked there.

I understand your heart was in the right place, and I might have welcomed the swarm buff had they not nerfed dropships so hard but right now dropships have pretty much lost their role. Do you find the engagements fun now? Because honestly when swarms hit me or I even hear them I leave, probably before they get any wp. Master Skyshark rider Kaalaka dakka tamer
