Annoying yes but it is not against the rules.....it is war so to speak. In other words it should be allowed.

Were any other beta players such as myself annoyed when enemies would get into the dropships and simply fly around crushing people, never firing their weapons at all?

In my opinion, the minimum flying height of the dropships should be just above the heads of our clones.

so nukes are allowed too? great this wrap up things nicly and quickly.

yes its war but its also a game and ment to be fun. nothing fun about people abusing mechanics to there own end.

I understand if one would land on someone occassionally, but when people are using aircraft exclusively for crushing, it gets a bet annoying.

Why should an artificial height limit be placed on the game? That is simply limiting the sandbox.

Look to the future. It won't be as smart to go around Whack-a-Mole on ground troops with your expensive dropships when the entire enemy team is organized and locking on to you. The only reason why people can do this at this stage is the lack of teamwork group support brings.

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.

Greetings,

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.

This is now somewhat of a sore point for me. 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.

You'll never lock on fast enough to completely destroy a dropship before it gets to you, and you have to travel through multiple open landscapes to get to the objectives, so at some point no matter how many of you there are, you are susceptible to being crushed.

What I proposed they should do in another topic is just make it so landing on an enemy is like landing on a teammate: it just pushes the person about to be crushed out of the way.

Also, they need ro severely raise rhe damage from landing the dropship to fast. As it stands now, no damage happens at all when coming down fast at a complete vertical angle. Not that I noticed...

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.
