Now I don't know how many other people this has happened to, but I am sick and tired of these little hobos running around and nabbing teammates dropships. I flew down to hack an objective only to return to my ship to see the pilot seat of my 100,000isk dropship. Not only had he stolen my expensive machine but he HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS DOING and proceeded to bash it into every object around us in an attempt to fly away, thus destroying it. So, here is my point: if you did not buy the vehicle, regardless of what it is, DO NOT TAKE IT unless there is NOBODY around to claim it, that was MY money, MY strategy, and because of one player we lost the objective since he killed all five people on board when it went down, and I was in a scout outfit that was taken to 1% health by the crash and then cut down my a HMG. This is a team game people, if you are a thief like this when the game comes out of beta I can guarantee you that you will be immediately be banned from whatever sorry clan you join.

while i sympathize with you, i come from a position that as a pilot, you're in charge of your vehicle and getting out is taking on that risk...

especially considering the implementation of friendly fire and spies, any number of things can happen and its up to you to watch out for #1.

ive had a few tanks stolen......buh bye 350k.....

Dont leave your keys in your dropship

Anyone else think a pop up menu to control who's in your vehicle is a good idea?

This.

No one is going to be banned for spying or stealing. Kicked from corp, yes. But not banned because CCP encourages it.

if your the pilot don't leave your ship. Have one of the other 5 people that were in the ship plant. It does suck you lost that ship, but now it should be lesson learned.

There is a difference between not actively discouraging something and actively encouraging something. CCP let you do it, but don't encourage you to be aholes. You do that as a community (EvE that is).

You're right. They let us because it brings great PR for CCP.

Goonswarm Ice Interdiction
Burn Jita
Hulkageddon (five years running)
Eve Bank Heist
Fall of Band of Brothers Alliance
The elections for the Council of Stellar Management

etc.

And that's just for starters.

To clarify, I meant the clan leader would ban you from the clan, as opposed to CCP banning you from the game

CCP dont return stuff becouse they were mean to you it's not world of warcraft.

HAHA!!

They don't even help you when you get scammed by a simple Jita contract.

CCP: "Sorry, tough luck. Learn better next time"

You're right. They let us because it brings great PR for CCP.

But really Drop pilots dont jump out of your ship you are not a 1 man army.
if someone attacks your ship while hacking you are the best skilled to defend it.
you may have to take off in a hurry or even leave your man behind.
now if that's you out there then you just screwed everyone to play hero.
realty its a drop ship you DROP a guy to hack.
then do a quick pick up if you can.
if i was in that ship i would have taken off too not going let everyone die so a pilot can play hero.
only problem was your guy couldn't fly.
use your men you got 2 guys on guns 4 just sitting there picking there noses.
drop a guy cover him them pick him up.
hell drop 2
and dont pick up players that dont turn there comm on.

Okay, people seem to be making inaccurate assumptions here so here is the rundown on what happened: I was flying down to objective B in my Myron dropship, I got out and started hacking objective B since the two other people on board were spamming the missiles (I have no mic), right before that happened two others jumped on board as they had just gotten out of a heavy fight with about 2% health and needed to heal for a second (I'm assuming) however my whole mission plan was to hack the objective an d nobody else was making a move to it. The area is free of enemies so I get to it, hack B, and on my return I look up in outrage as some loner darts in and starts up my ship. I furiously run at it as I fire two shots into it and get on board as the moron smashes the ship up into the crane, down into a drop-container, sideways into a building and then just as I think he has it under control, right into a tower, blowing us all to hell. In all 4-5 people died because some loner decided to take us for a joy ride and the objective was re-taken before I even re-spawned.

Why did you get out at all. If your in a dropship fling gunning the enemy don't come done to hack something . Esspecially the driver of the vehicle. Plus u abbondened the 2 gunners and left them to die.

Again, my MO was the objective B, I never wanted ANYONE on my ship to begin with, and like I also said, they weren't interested in doing anything but spamming the missiles. Idk where you have been but if the pilot doesn't get out while the passengers are covering from the missiles NOBODY gets out because they don't want to lose their missiles or some s***.

because of one player we lost the objective since he killed all five people on board when it went down, and I was in a scout outfit that was taken to 1% health by the crash and then cut down my a HMG. This is a team game people,

Stop right there.
you said that there were 5 in your ship not 2 plus the guy who took it minus you thats a full load buddy.

you got the dust version of Noob BS syndrome.

99% of all new eve players login and start training a battleship with out any idea on how to fit it, fly it, or even pvp at all.
don't cry when you lose an expensive ship you wouldn't have lost it if you realty did know what you were doing.
just because you can make it go up and down, don't mean a thing and it don't mean your ready for a bigger one.

you said:

im sorry dude, but i wouldnt want you piloting dropships on my team. ever. your simply not doing it right.

Check your math and what I said: 2 people on my ship, plus me that's 3, two freeloaders run up that's 5, I'm out so that is 4, the thief runs in that is 5, I return that is six, we lift off, he smashes around, two or three people managed to bail before the final impact (one or two of the freeloaders bailed onto a roof, that is 4-5 DEATHS, not passengers. I have been an on/off dropship pilot for over a month, I get about 50,000 sp on average per game (that's after several games) with an average of 20 kills to 1 death. MY myron is fitted with a light chassis for speed and two advanced repair units. I have been playing Dust since E3 and am not some noob. Regardless of ALL of this talk: we were not under any threat of enemy fire, nobody was doing what needed to be done as so often happens in this game, that left me as the one person to do it, my point is solely that is was an a-hole move of this loner to wait until the very second I left my ship, jump into the pilots seat, fly off n someone else's vehicle he had no business even being near and killing everyone who didn't immediately jump off for dear life. I do know what I am doing and if it were up to me I wold have ordered my passengers off to defend and hack the objectives, unfortunately that is not possible.

lol he fly a troop transport and dont know why people get in.
and uses it as his own 1 man transport

I think I am, from what you have said so far I am sure you would prefer to use your dropships as mobile gunships and nothing else, I prefer to use them as temporary defenses but mainly to get my team to objectives that need personnel to hack and defend while covering from the sky, if my teammates have no interest in doing ANYTHING about the objective two feet from their face then they are clearly doing nothing to help the team in the long run. They are objectives for a reason, when the game comes out of beta they will need to take objectives to win the battles.

no, dropships are not gunships. Fighters/VTOLS are. Dropships are for troop transport to objectives or other strategically important points on the field. Hence the name "Dropship."

If you want to use them as temporary taxis and defenses, fine. Enjoy being poor.

ordering them off is total possible you just dont have a mic and type real slow.
if your not a noob then you would have a mic they dont cost much,
you have become such an expert in this game about team work and tactics by talking to yourself?
you must be a mind reader!

I keep the mic feed on and listen, just like hundreds of others, and no, I don't have the $20 to spare for a mic atm

cool but it is a role that needs a mic think about getting one.

Believe me dude, I have been looking, I am in a tough time now, job market in hawaii sucks, barely making it with one full time job, trying to find a new place, yadda yadda, I've been looking around ebay though

any cheap phone bluetooth works fine. doesnt have to be a gaming one.

That's what I thought and I hooked up my bluetooth but it doesn't work, it works fine for my phone but won;t work with dust. I am pretty great with tech and I tried everything but idk if it is just too old or cheap or what, maybe I'll give it another go

on release gains are going to be reduced to 1/4 of what they are now and consequences for death and noobery will be punished a lot more.....

i recommend really only piloting if your gonna invest the time into it. dont half ass it. if you try to be a jack of all trades at the beginning of launch, you wont do well for yourself.

if you check wikipedia, they have a list of some of the incompatible bluetooth headsets for the PS3. if it works for other games and not Dust, your doing something wrong cause that shouldnt happen.

also, make suer voice chat is on in the options. it is off by default. (did i just hit the nail on the head?)

Got to give him this he is going to try.
I hate noobs that wont even try.
the game will not bend to your playing style.
you must learn to bend to it.
Thats eve.
and we love them for it.
not calling you a noob but i have been ceo of my corp in eve for more that 5 years.
and i have seen all kinds of players.
and alot of them cant take advice.
i have seen this argument before and mostly the drop pilot ends up thinking screw you all i will play how i like and shaft you all because it makes me sp.

I don't like to think that I work that way: (..mostly the drop pilot ends up thinking screw you all i will play how i like and shaft you all because it makes me sp), I have proven to be very efficient working both alone and with a team, but with (until now) no working mic and (still) most people not even having mic feed on it can be very hard. It's a 50/50 chance you get stuck on a team that wouldn't know how to make a cohesive battle plan if their life depended on it.
I always try to work for the win of the team rather than just sp and kdr (thus the objectives instead of battering-ramming people to death) if I was just interested in those they would be MUCH higher. Like I said before, I do what I do and people like it, I dodge rockets, forge bursts and swarm launchers like it's going out of style and I am open to advice but there haven't been any issues so far. This was one incident where some noob came in, jacked a vehicle he really had no business touching and smashed it with the people left inside, all other times this kind of vehicle jacking happened have been at the drop point before I even get in (major rager but at least no excessive damage). I just had to bring this one up because of the amount of damage one inconsiderate and/or ignorant person did.

Thanks, it was actually just the input/output part that I overlooked, some 4 yr old tore apart my good headset a year ago and I haven't dealt with any of that stuff since.

omg, omg i got it right

good for you dude, now you have a mic again

lol no input output is not ingame its the ps3 options not in game
there only 1 option in game on or off
thats why i asked if he tried input output

I stole someone's 300k tank last night from spawn. He began sending me hate messages demanding his tank back, so I trolled him with it and then destroyed it. If you leave a vehicle it's your own fault, unless you got out to repair then that sucks.
