My grimmnes has 2 25% hardeners and best 60mm armor and armor repairer. I was being hit by massive amounts of swarms, so I started my amer rep and tried to land my soon dead ds safely on some pipes and looked like I should have died. One of my passengers repaired me to full armor and tried te take off, but my I wasn't moving. My engines/thrusters seamed to be working fine. I tried wo call in another ds to ram my 1st one free but a random tank shot it down be4 I could attempt to free it. |

I've noticed that if the armour hits 0 HP, you are done, regardless of your ability to repair that armour. I've tried that a few times.
I would rather that the Drop ship had the common decency to just blow up like any other vehicle when the armour hits 0 HP, killing everyone on board, THEN crash to the ground as a burning wreck. |

We may be getting the physics wrong in Dust.
Maybe it's not the vehicles themselves that explode but rather the ground that makes them go up in flames. But the ground can only "attack" them if they have no armour left.
The funny thing is that I sometimes get hit down to 0 armour while the armour rep is running. It doesn't stop so I can actually sometimes hit the ground with 50% restored armour even though the dropship is disabled. |

Exactly. For now I see it as "The ship is getting better, but the engines are done for" |

I just assume the flight controls get destroyed after 0 armor... And appreciate the bailout time. I think they should have structure buffer before system failures, like they do in eve, but don't terribly mind how it's working right now. |

Next time that happens, I'll just use my disabled dropship with full HP as bait for tanks so I can coordinate an attack on them. |
