Give normal dropships a 20% per level of dropship operation damage bonus to blaster turret damage. Rails are good where they are, missiles are good, but blasters should be the weapon of choice for infantry suppression

With that, normal dropships could perform strafing runs and provide cover fire while picking up and dropping off friendlies

Small blasters don't need a damage buff they need an overheat time reduction or less heat per second buildup

I stopped reading after that.

It's like saying that tank were fine in 1.7 or cal logis from 1.1 -> 1.6 . Don't say such stupid things please.

No sarcasm here. Your whole post literally made my stomach turn.

But this little beauty.

I feel that this mentality right here, the feeling that you're anything other than a voice for "us", is fundamentally what is wrong with having a CPM in the first place.

Letting an underfunded, under developed game be influenced so heavily by people with no relevant experience or expertise, is EXACTLY why CCP Hilmar goes quiet or hits the PR spiel whenever DUST is mentioned. It's a joke.

You're a joke.

And just to entertain your idiocy because I have time:

ADS is gone. Done. Logistics ships are gone. Done. All that remains, is a badass basic ship. We'll even say you guys talked extra hard from your house in your bathrobe, and we have PRO DS. *YEEEAAAAHHHH!!!* Alright, life is good. Turrets are working great, I've got some really skilled gunners in their plated heavy suits. All that talking even magically fixed the turret bugs that have plagued DS since the start. Good job guys. We're survivable, we're poopin out people....aannnddd....waaaiiittt for iiiitttttt.....

Our gunners are tearing **** UP. We're constantly communicating, the pilot calling out new targets as they show up, lighting them up with the scanner. The squad leader in the gun is racking up points like crazy as each person dies, more points going towards the orbitals as more squadies spawn in. Singular AV is easily picked off by your superior teamwork, skill, and durability. Even packs of AV find you difficult to pin down as you soar by, hardeners up and afterburner roaring. You laugh at even concentrated railgun fire, knowing that with your superior skill and high durability in your window of attack / retreat, you can out maneuver all but surprise attacks, which you diligently attempt to mitigate through watching your flight lanes.

You are a terror of the sky, difficult to dislodge, racking up points like crazy, turning objectives and stacking up the red bodies. And then AV cries. And cries. And rages. And DS gets the axe. And the whole ******* circle continues.

But I don't blame you for glossing over what would happen when skilled pilots fly them, since you've never been exposed to that environment first hand
