Can we get a fix for this soon...
Yes I am talking about the giant towers surrounding the map. At first I thought it was some sort of turret shooting at me from a distance but now I realize people are actually glitching dropships on top of the map and barraging infantry with missiles from all the way up there all game.

Since it can't be reached by flying at normal levels doesn't that make it a glitch? I believe that's the spot on the map where the kids complaining about not having M+KB support go to get cheap kills, because they are useless when using a DS3.

I would rather use the turrets on the dropship laying down cover for the team then use it to squish other players. If they make it so the piolet has to be in the dropship to be able to power the turrets then it will result in 2 people in the dropship shooting from the tower's. And that would solve what exactly? For starters, it would require a commitment to teamwork between the two instead of just letting everyone do it. And since there wouldn't be anything in it for the Pilot SP-wise... And at the very least it gets one more person off the field of play for their side. Of course, you would also have to be unable to spawn LAVs and Tanks up there too, or you're just trading the problem of one hard to reach turret for another that's an even smaller target. I do fight back against tower gunners. I take my Forge Gun to them as best I can. But the ability to do this offers too many advantages due to the game's current limitations. They can be quite difficult to see at all, let alone aim at, due to the bright lights on the tower fronts. In the overview map they blend almost perfectly with the towers in the top down view, though this is somewhat countered because you can see a constant spray of missiles. If parked sufficiently back can avoid being marked altogether. Worst of all, if you're not close enough to the tower they're perched on they are completely invisible, as in do not load to be seen. "Get your own and knock it down" isn't always viable either since they will generally have plenty of time to shoot you before you can get to them. If you want to fly up and shoot it down, then that requires a pilot and a gunner, two people to their one. And with the current state of communication being so hit or miss, simply communicating what needs done can be impossible. |

How is this a glitch?
If its a problem, get into a dropship and go take care of the problem yourself. |

Thats kind of like saying helicopters fly to high can we get a fix for this!
If a dropship can fly it means it can get place's that you cant on foot. Why not pull out a swarm launcher or a drop ship even a forge gun and shoot it. even ramming it with your drop ship gets the job done.
If this was a glitch then by all means fix it but somewhat it feels like the dropship is ment to be able to fly. |

The only problem with it is people are doing it for free. Remove the militia dropships and tanks.
Also, render distance needs to be boosted so you can actually see them up there from the ground and to be able to snipe them. |

It really takes away that everything is payed for feeling. Militia Lav's and tanks are alright, but having the option to just fly in a disposable ship makes the battle seem cheap. |

That's idiotic. Just because someone isn't sitting in the driver seat of a car doesn't mean the car is turned off.
But really, this isn't hard to counter if you just take the time to fly up there and deal with it. |

get into a car, speed down a highway, then jump out. The car is still on and it's still driving, but it's slowly slowing down to a cruse /or a stop. It will not turn off until the battery dies. |

It's just a cheap tactic I can get my ship and crash into them but I'd rather try to get it fixed so I don't have to bother with the scrub from above |

No, hovering requires the pilot interaction to actually maintain the altitude. However when a dropship is sitting on a hard surface, it doesn't just suddenly shut down all its systems and go into Sleep Mode.
Besides, Missile Launchers don't use any power to fire. EVE experience ftw. |

Look man having a pilot in the ship to power the weapons will most likely do away with the scrub camping in his nest cuz a pilot more than likely wont just sit in one place |

I agree it is a cheap tactic but its a tactic that works....
Just think of it as early practice of when the EVE players start to drop BIGGER missiles down on top of you.
A little dropship or a MASSIVE battleship you decide......... |

Sure I got a little mad because it felt like it came out of nowhere, but it is by no means a cheap tactic.
Everyone can do it, so go counter it.

Step 1: Get a militia heavy suit
Step 2: Invest a small amount of SP to use Forge Guns
Step 3: Buy a Forge Gun and equip it to the Heavy Suit
Step 4: Suit up and blow the ship up |

Basically this thread's tldr is "People are doing things that are causing my team to get blown up. I don't want to actually go stop them from doing this, so just don't let them do it at all."
Welcome to the sandbox people, CCP loves when people do dirty underhanded **** to win. Complain all you want, they'll just sit back, laugh, and tell you to adapt. |

100% Right. We've got auto-rotating helicopter blades to prevent total failures -- i'm surprised that a dropship, sometimes worth more than all of its occupants, automatically crashes when the pilot bails.
It would also give the pilot the opportunity to slide back into a gunner position while the ship hovers so that they can help lay down support fire & a bad ass hacking opportunity. Drop from a dropship onto a stationary drop ship, hack it from the top, then drop in to pilot it or use the weapons. Set it up low to the ground between different points for some platformer style jumping to get to hard to reach locations to launch an assault from. |
