Ayures0 259	Posted - 2012.07.13 22:50:00 - [1] - Quote I know it's for transport, but I feel kinda useless when I'm in a dropship and not on a turret. I have a gun, I can see people, why not let me take a few shots at them?

A sniper can shoot the passengers out of the dropship.
Proxius Tau Algintal Core Gallente Federation 2	Posted - 2012.07.14 00:25:00 - [5] - Quote Yes, shooting from Passenger seats of all vehicles, LAV & Dropship. Perhaps to Limit access from the Drop Ship - Front two spots enclosed (protected from Snipers) - Middle two spots turrets. - Back two spots open for shooting. Perhaps have different Fitting Modules Air Support Dropship with 4 Seats (2 Turrets ad 2 open Spots for Snipers ETC) Troop Transport with 6 of 8 seats etc. The LAV Needs the passenger seat to be able to shoot!
Nadroj Isk Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 1	Posted - 2012.07.14 00:44:00 - [6] - Quote Like
EVICER 63	Posted - 2012.07.14 01:07:00 - [7] - Quote That would be better if your allowed the guy riding"shotgun"in the LAV to shoot.
OwnD07 BetaMax. 6	Posted - 2012.07.14 02:23:00 - [8] - Quote I agree that shooting from other positions besides the turrets (Shotgun on the LAV, open seats on the Dropship) would be useful, but I think that the ability to do so should be unlocked as a skill and as an upgrade for the vehicles themselves. Perhaps the default would be the way they are now, but with upgrades, it would be possible to expand the other seats with some sort of dedicated firing port that gives a bit more cover and the ability to fire out of them. Perhaps you could transform the LAV into some sort of troop carrier with expanded capacity and the ability to have troops fire out? Or make an entirely new vehicle type dedicated to this sort of play, as a sort of bridge between the LAV and the HAV? I dunno. But I think the possiblity would be an interesting twist on the gameplay.
Raynor Ragna 266	Posted - 2012.07.14 04:37:00 - [9] - Quote They actually show you shooting from the dropship in one of the first Dust514 videos.

Would like to see this but, I mean in the Battlefield games you can shoot from a heli as a passenger while ur gunners are firing away, doesn't matter either way would be a nice addition down the road.
carl von oppenheimer Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 158	Posted - 2012.07.14 06:47:00 - [12] - Quote Well having a drop ship full of forge gunners would certainly make life interesting for tank pilots.

zekina zek D3LTA FORC3 Orion Empire 108	Posted - 2012.07.14 11:24:00 - [14] - Quote there needs to be at least a heavy machine gun guy on each side and 2 logistics guys inside with remote repair tools fixing the dropship as the gunners and hmgs mow everything down.
kevin longclaw 0	Posted - 2012.07.14 22:34:00 - [15] - Quote I totally agree , we need to be able to shoot from the dropship.
Exterminatus In Extremis Black Thorne Militia 8	Posted - 2012.07.15 00:30:00 - [16] - Quote perhaps each position could be able to press a button that opens/closes a door that protects them from snipers, but when open, allows them to shoot out.

Indeed, perhaps that will finally put a sour taste in those pesky Sagaris tanks Exterminatus In Extremis wrote: perhaps each position could be able to press a button that opens/closes a door that protects them from snipers, but when open, allows them to shoot out. Currently the doors open/close when you land/takeoff (based on height) and as been pointed out previously in this thread -aswell as my own personal experience -the current doors don't protect vs snipers. But I agree somekind of blast door would be nice. Although you can't look out, perhaps that means you have to communicate better with the ones who can...? More teamwork CCP!
H arpoon WarRavens 26	Posted - 2012.07.15 02:17:00 - [18] - Quote The LAV only has 3 positions...and only 2 of them can actually do anything. It'd be nice to be able to do things other than use it as a means of transport.
