Those who tell you otherwise simply dont grasp what the game actually is, and instead grasp at concept. Troop transport in DUST is a side effect of dropships, not their primary purpose.
I suppose that makes sense why CCP would attach this to DS' "Able to traverse the battlefield virtually unimpeded, the dropship is the perfect way to get infantry into and out of hotspots".
Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty hipster!

I think he was trolling.
Doesn't matter, I was being serious. CCP has never really seemed to grasp this game, only the concept of it.

I think he was trolling. Doesn't matter, I was being serious. CCP has never really seemed to grasp this game, only the concept of it. Descriptions are irrelevant, only the reality of in game assets and tactics matter, which rarely if ever favor troop transport save the initial drop at match start. Dropships are too fragile and / or slow to extract troops, maps too small to justify wasting time playing taxi, along with far too many options for allies to spawn where needed. Standard dropships are still a joke vs dedicated AV, and only see use as disposable elevators and suicide coffins for those lacking the required skill to best properly flown ships.
It's like you think I was disagreeing with you.
