Exactly what you're looking for, already in game. That seems like its a little complicated to try and lay down a remote explosive and try to lure a dropship in and still be far enough away from the RE to detonate without exploding yourself. Thanks for the suggestion though.
As opposed to how you're planning to escape without exploding yourself BY EXPLODING YOURSELF?
I don't see the difference between suicide bombing with REs and suicide bombing with a "suicide bomber app" module.
And I still think it would be better to make collisions with the ground deal armour damage instead of having to strip shields first. It's not like shields are really going to do much to stop a planet when it hits you.
Also, this would be WAY to easy to exploit in other ways that are just as annoying as dropship squishing, if not moreso. |

Laugh when they're dead before you can respawn?
Or get better at avoiding derpships.
Keep in mind the lack of random spawns in the current build, and the fact that it's a bug, and will be fixed. They won't be able to just park themselves on the spot where you're going to spawn and bounce up and down for free kills. |

They won't be able to just park themselves on the spot where you're going to spawn and bounce up and down for free kills. I would like to think that I am somewhat good at avoiding them but as I mentioned before it's not every single time this happens that I see the pilots coming in. Yeah, it's kind of crappy that you have limited spawns and they are to easy for people to camp.
If you don't see them coming, they did a good job of avoiding being seen.
Other than spawn-camping (which, as mentioned, won't be viable in future builds), that means you got outplayed.
if you see them coming and they still kill you, then they were better-fitted for the situation than you were.
If they take damage direct to armour when they hit the ground doing this, then someone rips into them right after they've killed you, they're going to be at a major disadvantage because of the damage they took when they ran you over. if the shields were taking most of the hit, it wouldn't have been as much of a problem, because those regen faster, but armour damage takes more time and effort to recover from. |
