Drop ships should not be able to lands on roofs cause the last game i was in the attacking team had drop ships on the roofs camping the respawn areas killing making it impossible to respawn

Or you could spawn with swarm launcher and shoot it a couple times.

getting sick of people who whine about people on the roofs of the towers. adds to the realism. ccp please add more towers to set up forward bases to spawn at.

you sir, for complaining about the towers, get a -1 and a penalty of 10 internets.

well im glad to finly see a thread abut this ied say one fix cud be dropship guns go offline if thars no pilot
i love flying my dropship let me say it again i FLY my dropship

This is soooo fun, especially with upgraded missile launchers. I started doing it the second day of the 2.0 patch because I needed to save my 100,000 ISK ship because I was low on money. You really can't see **** from up there, only the red arrows above people's heads, so it takes some skill to be able to kill people. I dont really do it too much, because I was never really like to sit still in FPS games, so I usually just fly my ship around if I call it down.

But, dont complain about this, because I have easily been taken out of there by forge guns and even snipers shooting me off the turret.

please, show me a video where some guy takes a apache, lands it on the roof of a sfyscraper, and then switches seats into the gunners position and proceeds to just rain down hell.

its not a big problem for myself, because i tend to run with a forge gune, but it is a imbalance in the gameplay, since the door guns have huge splash, can kill assault suits in 1/2 hits, and have infinite ammo, futhermore, find me a video of somene getting a tank air lifted onto the top of a building...it just doesn't happen, calling in a ground vehicle on the roof of a building should bring up a warning saying that its a unacceptable drop point, and the drop ship on buildings need to also be fixxed,


stating it's not a problem, or stating that its "realistic" is just foolish, and a copout, because you can't actually bring any real argument to the table.

More often than not, I'll be at the end of a missile scope while rollin' in my HAV. I understand that dropships should be able to evade fire by staying out of the tanks FoV, but... isn't camping in a ship so far out that you can only tell where people are with indicators a bit excessive? I was just in a match where there were three dropships doing this. Was driving into the center of the map and all I saw were streams of missiles crossing each other going into the ground. It's getting out of hand.

Track the trajectory of the missle back to the ship, and shoot it down. If any body makes an effort, they can easily take those ships down.

If I was a sniper I would love these, I would be popping those gunners out of their turrets all day.

See though, I'm in a tank and can't aim that high, and no one else is gonna save me because of the lack of communication. If by chance some forge gunner sees the trajectory, yea, it's easy pickings for him, but that's not always the case.

The thing is... this kind of camping is rediculous. I'm pretty sure that it'll happen less when militia vehicles are gone, but until then... yea, this is an issue :v

it's not an exploit as the swarm launcher missiles hit the building not the ship. This is because the track the missles take not an exploit. I can hit them with swarms if they are hanging off edge easy. If not FORGE GUN.

Last round I was upset about the dearth of good sniping posts on the map. This round... I kinda feel sorry for the chumps that walk under my scope.

It seems a lot of would-be dropship pilots don't know how to get the dropship up that high, which is why more isn't being done about it. In a non pick-up match it would seem that any well-formed team would have a dropship or two on overwatch.

Well, this is a pain, I have noticed it's not happening anywhere near as much as most people have cottoned on to how to stop it. What's worse is a well piloted dropship and good gunners sweeping the battlefield.

Whats the difference between a piloted dropship with a gunner flying at the height of the towers, and a Drop-ship on top of the tower with no pilot just a gunner?

Answer The drop-ship ON the tower is a sitting duck and cannot easily get away if you fire at it.

It really confuses me as to how people see the dropships up there and instead of Saying to themselves "what tactic can i employ to counteract their tactic?" They start whining that its unfair they can do it in the first place.

Look if i can do it you can too. And if we can do it anyone can do it. And if anyone can do it, there's sure as heck a way to counteract it.

The most amusing argument ive read against this tactic is that its not realistic... Really? REALLY?

You are playing a Mercenary that is Immortal through the use of cloning hopping between alien worlds to fight proxy wars for other people that like you are also immortal via cloning but unlike you cannot survive on a planets surface and are permanently remanded to hermetically sealed space pods with the exception of their personal quarters on a space station. Your weapons include Nuclear powered handheld Laser cannons and Mass launchers whose ammunition can be replenished by nano machines.

But landing a drop-ship on a tower breaks the realism of the game for you...?

Just wait till they implement the Orbital Strikes...
