Thicker shields/armor, hardeners, high damage weaponry, speed, the list goes on and on dude.

You've got upwards of 5000 EHP, are completely immune to 70% of the weapons in the game, loaded to bear with a weapon that can kill me in two shots... and if I somehow manage to take down your dropship that gives you all of that, you can always just bail out and go after me on foot where I will almost certainly be at a disadvantage because I'm running AV.

That is why I get 275+ WP for destroying your Dropship.

I wasn't aware you were CCP's statistical analyst.

I find it mildly entertaining that so far no. Pilot has justified a refusal to Aeon's request beyond "KD doesn't matter", "I lose the ISK anyways", "I usually die either way" or "I earned it isn't a valid reason".

Sadly none of the the formers are actual arguments and the latter is contradictory.

These are the three lines Y'all should pay attention to.

This should change because this is how it is in game. Therefore this is a weird exception.



Aeon is not wrong in this case.

Interesting justification. Has nothing to do with the argument itself (for example -- would not, by your logic, this apply to ground vehicles?) but still interesting.

If the engines and power are knocked out -- then how would anyone open the doors?

If the armor is 0, wouldn't people inside the dropship be taking damage from explosions when other swarms/forges hit?

See, I can make up 'real world reasons' all day too. Game balance - which translates to fairness, fun, and player population - dictates otherwise.

Aeon made a good argument. Doesn't mean he is right, but so far he has yet to be challenged reasonably. So, rebut it with actual factual information OR logical rationale (or both.)
