Apperantlly the extreme lock range was 'unintended.'
So ultimately at least dropship piloting practice should be a hell lot safer.
Dear God, yes!
I like playing AV SL guy, but man that range is seriously OP. |

i landed nicely to pick someone up flew a few circles round an objective giving my gunner some nice shots and then hovered over the objective nice and stable, i dont see what people are complaining about with the controls
sadly a swarm launcher ended my fun but it was worth the isk to buy it,
as soon as i save up enough isk i will be buying another.
The main challenge is landing on target in a short period of time without a lot of prep work and pre-positioning.
I don't find them hard to fly around.. evading swarm launchers isn't the same, but the real challenge I came across was getting shot down more easily, and picking up other players. |

Yeah, we'll see. Sounds like the FG got a boost, which is the really good tank killer.
The main beef I have with SL is the range against Dropships since they're so easy to target in comparison.
Please work your dev chat skills on the topic of a gunship. ;)
Even if it's a pilot and a gunner with 1 small turret each, and the same PG/CPU/slots as a dropship, I'd be happy. |

FG is anti-infantry from the looks of it.
As for Developer chat they're more concerned as to why the dropship spins out of control at 'random' I told them a few scearios to look into such every so often people spawning or exiting the dropship mid air would cause it to veer off course.
Yeah, I haven't experienced that, but then I rarely took on brave passengers in my testing :)
Definitely need dropships working properly, but gunships fill out the "chopper" role.
FG changes to anti-infantry? Strange. |
