The current method works a little better and most things that fall from space to solid land end up wrecked

if we can do it then i think dust 514 would have a better way to get weapons to the ground?

AND required about 3 years of number crunching just to get the trajectory right for a good landing.

your forgetting eve is "Set more than 21,000 years in the future", and we're in 2012. so if eve is "21,000 years in the future", they would have surpassed quantum computers meaning a landing something would have been done in a nano second.

Man lm not awake yet...l read this as Tanks with Diapers.

The vehicle delivery system will be people controlled meaning you'll rely on someone to make sure you get your vehicle

no it would be computer operated.

It will have to be oked by Eve players

why because the drop ship that brings down a tank isn't controlled by a eve player?

where do the drop ships come from?

conservation of energy......energy cannot be created or destroyed and the weight of a tank would create a giant shockwave even with dampeners it would force the energy outside but can u use them on tanks? i think the logic is flawed if so

Oh yes! Using tanks as space projectiles!
Forget about planetary bombardment by an EVE player. Just toss those tanks out of the Battle Barge!

you call in a tank it gets dropped from a ship. the tank itself is within a unit with first and second booster. the tank hits max velocity first booster kicks in, later the second boost kicks in, then the dampers kicks in at the end for the landing.

doesnt that mean it is still being dropped off by a dropship? or r u saying they glide?

He's saying they are shot from space in a 2 stage rocket. Kinda sound like the moon landing to me.

So far we don't even know if any of the in-game assets actually drop from orbit, and not the MCC, where we already know the RDVs come from. I would personally assume that the weapon installations at least are deployed directly from the War Barge, but we haven't had that confirmed. Also, the idea behind the RDVs is that they all cloak while carrying assets, so that up until they make their final approach, the enemy has no idea that you're bringing in said asset. The flaming object falling from the sky would kind of be a dead giveaway.

they would be drop out of a cargo bay on a ship

that may cause damage to the tank itself or those would have to be some seriously badass thrusters and also idk why dropships have to be dropped off :P during gameplay it makes sense but i see one too many steps in it
