Adun Red Brutor Vanguard Minmatar Republic 57	Posted - 2012.07.01 12:37:00 - [1] - Quote It was lame in planetside the first place I saw it years ago and still is IMO. Your telling me an airship ramming into the ground does not blow up? There is collision control in the game correct?

The hit detection was just buffed up from being bouncy ball vehicles to tanks that take 2000 points of damage from hitting a rock.

What percentage of shields and armor is that on a top tier flyer?

Torkada Alamstrada Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 184	Posted - 2012.07.01 13:44:00 - [5] - Quote I am all for clever strategies. However, a dropship that can take four rounds at point blank range from a mass driver and continually scrape back and forth over the roof, banging into the side upcroppings, and murder ten or twelve people that way, is a bit much. At some point the darn things should blow up. Conversely, I am absolutely fine with ground vehicles being able to ram people, buildings, and other vehicles without exploding. It's just that drop ships already have the advantage of heavy weaponry and are designed to transport people, not be the apex predator of the battlefield. Heck, I'm less worried about high level tanks with missile launchers than I am about a dropship landing on top of me repeatedly. That being said, maybe this will change when fielding a drop ship is an expensive tactical decision and losing it is serious business. Right now any joker with a militia dropship can dominate the rooftops and doesn't even need a crew.
Ender Storm Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 50	Posted - 2012.07.01 16:27:00 - [6] - Quote they should enhance the damage model. A dropship that crashes and survives should not only lose "health", but become progresivelly more dificult to fly and keep up in the air. Controls should suffer, jets would get off line, eventually it would not even be able to lift off . People abuse because it can be abused, health isnt enough of a penalty for a last resort technique.

Skytt Syysch Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 235	Posted - 2012.07.07 22:34:00 - [9] - Quote They're going to increase the grinding and impact damage a dropship receives when bouncing and skidding around on the ground. It was brought up in the IRC channel last night I think it was, and they said it should be much more dangerous after the change is implemented.

Corvus Ravensong Skyel Industries Subspace Exploration Agency 179	Posted - 2012.07.09 02:45:00 - [11] - Quote oh it definately hurts to drop on someone and splat em (unless you slowly land on them- in which case they realy deserve it) But when the turret gunners suck and the choice is to smack the ground and splat the swarmer or forge gun user and MAYBE die, vs trying to fly away and getting shot down for sure, I'm going to try to show those retards in back that they aren't my ONLY line of defense.
