So,
I understand why CCP upped the collision damage, but what I don't understand is why did they break themaneuvering and the impact physics. As an AVID phase 2 dropship pilot, I am completely and utterly disappointed in how the dropships handle now, as well as the absolute ridiculous cost spike... I have to play 2 or 3 games just to afford one fitting now.
Ridiculous.
Not as mad about the costs because I know they're crazy, but really irritated at the physics engine overhaul. It was hard as hell to outrun a swarm launcher before, now it's just impossible... |

The dropship costs aren't that bad since everything in the game is expensive now (even the drop suits) but piloting dropships now is impossible. |

Yeah, costs definitely jumped too much. Massive barrier to new players, that's for sure. You really do have to go through three or more matches just to field one, and that leaves you little to no money to spend on other things. Makes piloting well-nigh worthless IMO. |

The bar for piloting just got higher. Learn to use them and Im sure they'll be worth the price. Its actually not that bad.. And its damn fun to fly. |

Did you fly dropships much during Phase 2?
I played Dropships on a regular, I'd like to think myself pretty well known for being a team-killing dropship pilot (have gone 30-0 with 1 dropship)
It's almost unfieldable.. seeing as one dropship will cost you 2-300k isk for the hull alone, and what is it now.. 50-60k a turret?
It's something that's going to make me not want to fly dropships whatsoever.. Yeah
Yeah the flying part will take some getting used to, but I think if I tilt a futuristic dropship forward and give it some push, you'd think it'd respond in under 3 seconds with some lateral movement... |

I agree. Although the new flight physics seem fun and exciting, no one will be able to enjoy it because the price is just too high. It takes 2-4 matches just to buy a single ship. No one is going to spend the time and money to buy and fit a drop ship and just have it blown up the first 20 seconds because they dont have any experience flying it.
Now, there are 2 solutions that I can think of at this moment.
1. Have some sort of free space for the player just to try out their assets. This way, a player can figure how a gun works or how the drop ship works before they just die and lose it before they even get to try it. This could work well with the gladiator arena idea.
2. Just lower your prices. They are just way to high. If I were to die in my normal deposing that I created 5 times, I would have lost all profit from the contract. This forces players to default to the pre defined free suits. Which forces players to go into a pre defined role. Which if I'm not mistaken, was what ccp was trying to avoid. Although I still think that the prices of high quality things should be high. I just think that you guys overshot it bigtime. |

And enjoy getting shot down. Once a swarm launcher hits might as well bail because the inability to recover the craft in time before the second volley. Also weak spots are back too so trying to 'run' away only makes the damage worse. |

I agree with the price concern the price for militia drop ship is to dam high
The new physics are awsome provides a whole new challenge though the controls could use some tweaking i still havent found the brakes
