i just got my ERYX WOOT WOOT TIME TO DROP SHIP SPAM 200k ISK WORTH DROPSHIPS!

And hell yea im still going to risk my dropship and try to CRUSH you.

Attention Gunners! Lots of kills in my dropship! Cmon down to Meta 7 Missle Launchers! :D

I think that a Swarm Launcher can solve a lot of problems in those cases!

When they fix the draw distance the control over the towers is going to be as much of a metagame as holding down a point objective. You'll be able to see EVERYONE''s dropship and tank in play so it's vital to have those advantages for victory.

Oh. My. God. The keyboard warriors.. they're everywhere! SAVE US! LMAO

I read through the first 8 pages and there are two very obvious groups on this thread. Group A) Those that understand the sandbox. Group B) Those that don't have a clue what the sandbox is, and don't honestly give two *****. The sandbox is all about innovation, and finding uses for the tools provided. Be that to lend a hand to a new player, and show them how things work, or to exploit the newbies and take from them what little they have earned so far. It's all about outsmarting your opponent, throwing them a curveball that they can't possibly hit on the first swing; maybe the only swing they'll get.

People are saying that if CCP didn't intend for dropships to land on the towers and shoot down, then it must be an exploit, and as such, they must get rid of it, because it's damaging some poor child's KD/R.

Point: If CCP didn't intend for it to happen, and it happened, they are most likely proud of the player base for discovering new and unusual uses for the tools they have provided in game.

I absolutely HATE being blown to **** every time somebody camps a dropship up there. However, I think it's amazing that somebody figured it out, and the fact that it can be countered means it is a completely viable strategy. People ***** and moan about campers - you know, turn a corner, and wind up staring down the barrel of a shotgun - but does that mean they should make it so if you stand still longer than 15 seconds, you die?

This stupid "nerf Them, buff Me" mentality is far to widespread in this game.

The only real problem surrounding the dropship camping, is the render distance. That is a known issue, and it's being worked on. I will be very disappointed with CCP if we see slanted roofs on those towers, or a lower flight ceiling.

P.S. I cannot express how much I LOVE to see players use the word "scrub" do describe somebody beating them. "Oh my gawd, that guy shot me! Damn scrub! get good!" says the currently dead player. I say +1 to the "scrub".

I had a similar problem to this. Someone had camped with a viper on top of the large square shelter by B, and was constantly shooting at B spawn. Now, I tried to take him out with swarms (along with someone else) but he just killed and killed.

Although may some defend this as a valid tactic, this makes the game no fun for the opposing team, and will lose CCP players. In the end, CCP wants a decent playerbase and for those players to have fun. If there are exploits that result in unfair and frustrating gameplay, they *need* to fix it.

Granted, this is only closed beta, but at least for final release I'd like to see spawn points more protected. Points which spring to mind are A, B and C spawn points.
