You can already shoot people in a tank without any help.
Why can't I do the same with jeeps and spaceships?
Make the first weapon to be fitted operable just like the tank cannon. I'd much rather shoot rockets on people from the sky than be limited to just crushing them. |

... also the ability to remove turrets? Free up the CPU to fit better tank? |

The idea of giving a dropship pilot a gun to operate has been suggested numourous times and i honestly would like to see it happen after all i would only need 1 small turret thats fixed to the nose of my dropship (wheather being on the underbelly or actually inside the nose dont matter to me but it be fixed to only shoot where my nose is pointed)
This to my knowledge has neather been confirmed or denied by a dev
i've aso begun to think that dropships should have a equipment slot for flares and stuff of the sort (yes emp waves to nock missiles out of the air is what im thinking of).
Something else i think they should implament is a bomber dropship or gunship eather having pilot controlled guns or bombs with very limited team transport capabilities leaving the dropship to be the infantry mover of the airpower and creating more airsuperiority specific crafter or ground superiority specific instead of it all being in 1 and not done profeciently
As for the lav having a driver gun well i couldnt really see that happening without it becoming closer to a hav i do however believe the passanger seat should be able to still use there personal guns especially if the lav is technically a buggy. But this is the first ive heard of more guns being requisted for a lav

LAV with a gun won't be a tank simply because it's small and breaks much more easily.
Dropship bombs would be completely overpowered but so awesome :D |

We still don't have Fighter type aircraft yet, and I imagine boming would be an ability of their's. Also, as per the Future Vision trailer, if you really need to carpet bomb something, you just get a carrier pilot in EVE to fly his fighter drones down to the surface and do it for you. |

Pretty sure some kind of gunship is planned for the game. They said they were going to have 8 types of vehicle at release with two more planned sometime later. So hopefully whatever kind of attack aircraft they wind up adding has some pilot-controlled weapons. |

That into concept that Dropships are transport vessels and LAVs are LIGHT Attack Vehicles so they are LIGHT armed and armoured. |

have a look at the little hologram on the table in your private room, it looks like a design for a small fighter, hopefully that will be coming soon |

Even if they don't add a drover gun for LAV, the passenger sitting shotgun in the LAV should be able to fire his weapon. There's no reason he has to just sit like an idiot waiting to get to his stop before getting out and THEN shooting. Makes no sense... |

For this the controlls have to be changed that you can turn the nose up and down with the RS instead of looking up and down.
The LS could be used to adjust speed like vehicles so L1 and L2 could be used for something better. |

I think all non-pilots should be able to use little motorcycles or unarmed cars or something for getting around, and require LAV's and up to have the skill trained in order to pilot them.
Personally, I'd love to do some GTA style motorcycle stunting during dull times defending in Dust. :) |

Here's a video from the mod Desert Combat showing how a combat dropship could be implemented very well:
http://youtu.be/yaxUC0djeFs
Keep in mind this was with AI bots that weren't designed to handle anti-air threats like this.. so he has impunity.
Essentially, make the turret fixed and shoot at the crosshair.
The Apache in this video has 2 weapons available to him. |

Your idea of flares gives me an idea... Why not a smoke grenade or beacon of some kind to notify dropships of infantry looking for a ride, or extraction? Comms is one thing, but a flare of some kind would make locating the infantry a lot easier, and we have that tech today so why not in the future?
