I have a related request: Don't allow the dropships to simply park on top of a really high tower where the vehicle weapons can't get to them. I got killed numerous times from someone parked up on the perch and just shooting down. Nobody could reach them. I think a "lock on" type weapon would help this. I don't really play the heavy character much, so maybe it just needs to be at a higher level to accomplish this goal. |

Ummm, if a player could get there in the first place, then a second, third, heck even a fourth player can get there. Additionally, You are still vulnerable sitting up there. I have died to counter-snipers, tanks, and missile turrets while sitting on top of a tower... This is all in addition to enemy dropships dropping in to say hello.
Fair enough. I was just saying that in traveling as a ground squad, it would be nice if one of the players could help protect a whole squad with a gun that could reach that threat and knock out the ship, not just one player that can respawn in the ship again. |

You do know swarm launchers have lock-on, right? And they're a light weapon, even scout dropsuits can carry them.
No I didn't. I'm new to the whole EVE universe thing and I found the system a bit overwhelming, but I love it. I spent most of my learning curve with the skill system as opposed to weaponry. I thought all of the vehicle weapons were heavy except for the AV grenades. Thanks for the help. |

Yes SL can lock on and take out the dropship sitting up there, however, I can longer use it to take out the sniper on the tower. The other part of this is that the Dropship will disappear soon anyway unless someone is in it. I (and others) parked a dropship on top of these towers and switched over to dropships guns. Worked surprisingly well after the firing arc limits in the previous build.
Ok, so if there are two of you shooting and one gets picked off by a sniper, can't you respawn in the ship? I'm still learning the game. |
