I can confirm I get 0 sp for spawns with cru might as well uninstall it.

i got pretty ok at flying the new ones my biggest problem is slowing them down or stopping.. also can we get the red zone/out of bounds back on radar ffs

Um....so I've been a dropship pilot in the past two builds....what...the hell...is with these new controls? >_<

I get that you don't want people squishing with Dropships, I can respect that. But....it's like flying a ******** weather balloon that refuses to listen >_<

I have no idea how to make the damn thing go straight, or left, or right, without doing a full flip. I spent a full minute just trying to make the damn thing accelerate forward, only to finally bump my nose against the ground and go from full shields and armor to dead......I get that you want players to have "skill" to pilot the things, but you shouldn't have to be a dropship charmer to get the god damn things to listen.

So, add these absurd "controls" to the fact that dropships are pretty easy to kill, then couple that with this HUGE up in cost...and I'm curious just where Dropships fit in right now. I'm guessing DS pilots STILL don't get too many skill points at all, though I can't tell cuz I can't seem to get the god forsaken thing off the ground without it just exploding on its own.

I'm not looking to be a lone wolf DS pilot. I just want to drop people off and provide a good platform for my gunners....but, there's literally no reason to dump the insane amount of SP and ISK into these poor poor mockeries....I dunno. Maybe some of you guys have some tips for flying these things, but as it stands, it's at least three times less enjoyable to fly than it was last build...well, to crash anyways, since that's all I can seem to do anymore >_<

That's like changing vehicles controls to BF3. Accelerate & Brake please :D
I've done half a mil on drop ships. The biggest problem for me is that they seem to "hook" on objects when you land. Makes taking off seem like someone should film it & send it to "you've been framed"

i dont have any problem with the new controls....

You know Ive noticed that as well seems like they're magnetizied to buildings.

I call it the floating bath tub now.

I haven't seen a single DS in the sky since the reset. I doubt that's what CCP intended, but who knows. The game is less rich without them, less tactical and somewhat boring.

I'm thinking dropships will eventually be made somewhat useful. I do find it strange that people hate get smashed with a ds, but aren't bothered when run down by a speeding lav.

Granted I've never been able to dodge more then one swarm set either
