they just either went overboard nerfing them (which they did need a nerf they were waaay to easy to fly last build, it was basiaclly a hover tank) or they havent added the things that will stabilize them yet (pilot suit, propulsion) props to op for trying and suceeding some wtih them and you have every right to brag- a pilot who doesn't brag is just some guy.

the friendly fire effecting their physics is disturbing because then we just get grief by ppl who hate pilots but I'm sure they will work it out if not no ones gonna be flying dropships and despite what ragers claim CCP is not that stupid to just leave them like they are open to being grief by non enemy fire, the code was just not completed I'm guessing they didn't code in friendly fire vs non or idk but no one should scream about a sky is falling.. they want dropships to be in game but currently as they are it's not feasible really to risk them at such a high cost.

that said i dont have the isk right now to learn 2 fly them but I will be back once they get them worked out.. i'm having alot of fun on the ground anyway witnessing my first orbital strike was cool

I shot at some guy flying on my team. I was way out in the open, running towards him, and he took off. I put a few bullets in it to tell him to pick me up.

Then I watched him do a lazy half loop into a pipe and almost crush me with the burning wreck.

CCP philosophy: cars in the future have no traction control or 4wd, aircraft in the future explode if you sneeze on them, all vehicles shake almost until they disintegrate if they crash into anything, like for example if a bee hits the windscreen.

I liked them. think of barrel rolls and back flips as things that will break swarm locks. I also had no trouble with people spawning in and jumping out or shooting people with the turrets. I did eventually get shot down but it was a hell of fun flying around trying not to flip over do you mean the ship or the guy from top gun? sry guys full of bad jokes today waiting for the server no offense to anyone not only that but this stupid forum the way it jumps up and down as you type with that laggy save draft thing drives me insane

I will push that sob a remind him I WILL ENGAGE WHEN I'M GDAM GOOD AND READY!!!

I had to relearn gunning its different now but i got it down. So if any of you dropship pilots want a good gunner Add me on the contacts i will for sure gun for ya! ok goose just don't die on me when we eject
