Currently, I don't see dropships being able to contribute to the team in the way they were originally intended to: Constant transport.
What if, hear me out, what if there was a game mode where uplinks couldn't be used, and there were no CRUs deployed in the field, and there are several points, however, you cannot spawn at a captured point.
What if mobile CRUs could only be fit to dropships in this game mode?
Hmmmm.

Or make a dropship that doesn't have any turrets, but in return is given massive HP, for the purpose of troop transport/CRUs.

TBH there was talk about a month ago that uplinks are the biggest problem with this game and especially after taking a break from Dust to play Destiny this month, I'd have to wholeheartedly agree.
Uplinks on rooftops. Uplinks on null cannons that can't be OB'd. Uplinks flown in by MLT dropships that are VERY difficult to remove or nigh impossible.
To be honest, there needs to be a vertical height limit to where an uplink can be placed. There's gotta be a way to stop this **** from happening.
One of the better ideas I heard was that if you place an uplink, that uplink will disappear if you die or change suits.

You don't have to fit guns on a normal dropship and you can get over 5k Hp. Dropship are fine, fit an afterburner and you can get out of there really fast. |

No. They can already get similar Hp to a tank. why do they need anymore? If you arent fitting them for tanking stuff if you're picking up and droping off you are doing it wrong. |

yet every match dropships are continually moving troops. if you are talking about moving random blue dots of course not, they stay in your ship, they spaz out and shoot guns everywhere but kill nothing. did i mention some of them just stay in your ship? they won't jump out over an objective, even if you hover directly over it and speak on team coms gtfo. also there's a few downy ones that if you drop uplinks they'll take your ship and do absolutely nothing because it's not a ads, they just take it because they're downy. it's only worth transporting squad mates. |

the problem is just throwaway militia drop ships as elevators to high points and being able to deploy equipment where you shouldnt.
if theres no ladder. it should count as out of bounds/redline and destroy the equipment and kill you after a few seconds.
make everything accesible by ladders, stairs or jumping if you want to be able to drop an uplink.
hell add elevators even which songs from eves jukebox playing.
then dropships will be useful for moving around quickly when people realize they cant just glitch a node into the nullcannon and be ob immune. thank god they moved the objective on fracture road in 1.9
it was the worst thing in this game by far.
also if they had a more reliable method of landing with armor that slides down over the people inside to protect them so they dont get shot out of the seats. then itd be cool.
not sure why people cant shoot from the back and just take off the turrets.
or give them a little metal covering that slides up then they can be safe until it slides up and they can exit.

I certainly agree. More warpoints for av and survivability for dropships. Its called winning.
Next time you see me, bring more friends.

High HP dropships with MCRUs that you an skill up for faster spawns. I think mobile supply depots would be cool too.

Hmmmm.
What if you could only use an uplink if a mobile CRU was within 100 meters of it?
Dropships become meaningful when maps encompass more than a 600m diameter.
EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.

Like scouts getting cloaked I'm sure if we still had the whole DEV team working on DUST then we might of actually seen jet packs for the assault class or a new class altogether. That ain't gonna happen though. |
