Well done mate this is the first thread i have read that i cant find one enemy dropship to shotdown
1000+ thumbs up
In fact im actually so hapy ill pitch in my own ideas
1. I havent goten to play with th dropship much do to the fact that ccp has no rookie versions and my skills havent bust through the grind wall for a drop ship though i have stolen 1 or 2 cause i was so anxious to fly. But nvm that back to my point dropships have a fairly difficult control interface and im afraid there at risk of being overlooked by new players because ull be spending 200thousand isk plus to learn to fly it plus the grind wall making the first moments potentially unattractive to new flyers. As for this i suggest a rookie drop ship with possible no skill reqs and very cheap to no expense but it will be eriously week. As a cokmparison ill use eves rookie ships and frigates. A rookie ship in eve is trully just for the first few moments of gameplay when ur learning the controls. If u were to try doing anything else well goodluck as a maxed out player will barely be able to get 100dps if theres no tank and if there is tank he could have it all tank but still only survive 3 shots from a newbie rifter which is the next pvp ship in the ship tree if ur training minmitar. The rookie drop ship will be purely for new pilots to get a feal for the controls as it would only have enough stats to survive extremly low rank games which have other players that have no clue as to whats going on. When u get a little higher then that in the ranks good luck getting off the ground.
2.i agree with u on the dropship physics there awsome but if swarm launchers or anything we get hit by ganna bounce us into the ground i wont want to fly. Not saying there shouldnt be some reaction to a hit but it dont need to be so drastic.
3. I love the idea of counter measures though i would have to guess ccp had a couple ideas with ecm and eccm so well just have to wait and see |

Last i check the militia dropships went from costing nothing to costing asmuch as a regular dropship i think this is a bad move as rookies wont be able to afford dropships till they've specialized heavily into a dropsuit which may leave the mechanic out of the game till very late in a players lifespan |

I think a price change may be sufficent though i wouldnt hate a stats change but the price needs to be lowered to around 50,00 isk (my average payout since i currently have extremly low skills and all militia gear by all deffinitions except low experiance im a newb) |

Sofar ive manage to go up down side to side hell even do a moon walk but the only thing i cant figure out yet is the brakes which make hovering very difficult another positive note i have figureout how to land welll enough to squash my vict ims
The controls are defiantly tough to master and may need a secound look at to smooth them out but sofar ive had 3 attmepts at flying and have goten to the point i can doge buildngs and slow down enough for gunners to hi something but this is coming from one of the better pilots in the last build that could survive waves of peototype swarm launchers an still keep it steady enough for gunners to kill ****.
But all aside i cant wait for a dogfight with anouther pilot even if i got no gunners ill give him a hard time |
