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.

I was thinking to adapt and improvise, CCP implements a self destruct module that detonates with with a large impact to your outter shell. In other words being crushed by dropships, ran over by a lav or crushed by a tank. Just a random thought that came across my mind. Any thoughts?

Use remote explosives, if a dropship is really bothering you, lay a few down, and wait, maybe even shoot em with yer rifle to bug em to come over, then when they get near you Boom, either take yerself out or move a bit. Same can be done with LAVs, but if a dropship is really buggin you, just swarm em, takes like 4 shots, and if they miss you crushin, they have to go back up and circle around, perfect time for a pew pew. I usually just get around a light pole and circle it and keep it between me and the pilots ship. As for lav or tanks i simply move out the way. Was just thinking of an easier way to make it stop. Not really complaining about getting crushed I try to avoid it at all costs

I mean your going to die anyway whether you get squashed or explode. l at least if I get exploded the guy that tried to squash me gets it too. I agree with the running your dropship into the ground doing more damage or armor damage. I mean in comparison to real life if you ran a dropship into the ground there would be massive damamge. I understand physics in games can only do so much. Even still if it done more damage what more can you do when you were killed by the squasher.

I occasionally just shoot at them with my AR and watch them fly away when they realize hey this guy is doing damage to me with an AR. I was just thinking outside the box. As you don't always see the dropship coming. At least I don't. If they done away with the militia vehicles people wouldn't be doing this as much because when you lose your dropship you lose ISK. I honestly feel that doing away with militia vehicles would put a stop to a lot of the nonsense. That's a different thread all together though.

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. 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.
