You guys have made Dropships glorified Fighters. We have only ever had Dropships for mass troop transport in this game.. Yet they have been turned into Wet Paper bags for defense and 1-3 shot kills on every dropsuit in the game. How does this even make sense in concept when you are going over the changes? If you want a fighter in the air in DUST... Then release the Gallente Fighter assets that have been sitting around for 4 years as a Jovian technology all race fighter. Or even faction tech. Dropship management is a cruel joke that has been played on the community. They could be a staple in the sky, Strong defensively and competitive in fire fights with mercenaries, Not extremely one sided. Allowing mobile CRU's to move around the map increasing intensity in action and the frequency.. Removing red-line as the only spawnable location after a wipe.. Rewarding players for landing outside an objective that has been taken, picking up a load of team mates and taking them to the next objective. This is what the passionate people who have flown dropships since closed beta enjoy. The people who expanded into dropships for a slayer role is not the players fault. Directly nerfing dropships to effect their playstyle makes next to no sense in a big picture.. You guys really need to sit down as a team at CCP Shanghai. Pull out a giant White board.. And work out the concept of how this IP's assets fit together and what you guys want out of a general concept around racial Dropsuits, Vehicles and modules. Then move forward on that... Flying by the seat of your pants and reacting to the community rather then setting up strong foundations will always shoot your effort in the foot.
