Because if dropship pilots have to lose their ISK AND die they would all ragequit.

Let's run back to the- okay it killed everyone. Alright respawn in AV. Okay, everyone wait until the hardeners are down aaaan- **** some infantry got me. Respawn. ****! They fielded a second HAV. Where are you guys? They are camping the drop uplink? Okay. Just focus fire on that HAV. HIS HARDENERS ARE DOWN! YEAH! HE'S AT 20% ARMOR! HE... ran away faster than we could ever sprint. Okay. J-just... I don't know anymore."
Tactics.

"Ambushes"? You mean managing to box a HAV into an area he can't easily drive away from? If the HAV pilot isn't an idiot he won't get into areas he will die in. I've killed a few HAVs who got stuck on a random corner or something.

DUST Fiend wrote:So if hes not around objectives preventing the hack, what exactly is the issue? Because his presence on the battlefield prevents movement of your team and boxes you neatly into the objective so that his team can rain down MD and PLC rounds until you either A. ) Get cloned or B.) Leave the objective vacant due to massive spawn-in-insta-deaths.

DUST Fiend wrote:So why is there only one AV shooting him if your whole team is boxed in? AV being the FG, PLC, and swarms. All require a second to "lock". PLC and FG has a charge up time. Swarms have a genuine lock on timer. During this time you are vulnerable to the aforementioned pelting of MD, PLC, and core locus spam. You could field 4 - 6 AV; doesn't matter if they die within a second of getting a round off at the HAV.
Let's pretend you do scare the HAV away. What if they field two HAVs? Now you are extra ****** because they can cycle out when they are damaged. Risk aversion in it's most pure form.

I just wanted to know why dropships are special. I want them to explode in the air, and then watch the burning wreckage fall to the ground and explode again. And I want the wreckage to stay there, forever ingrained on that map. Then I want to be able to buy roses from the market for 10,000 AUR, at which point I can activate them like a piece of equipment and place them next to the charred wreckage.
The best part is that "Kiss From a Rose" automatically plays in the background as you place the flowers on the ground.
I don't think this is unreasonable. Why is this not already in game? CCP FIX YOUR GAME!
