-Dropships are really difficult to pilot. Dropship physics were better in the previous build. This change in dropship physics is an unnecessary nerf; the price increase combined with the finite nature of even militia vehicles was enough to balance, and prevent dropship spam. The changes to the controls are unnecessary, please change them back. To make matters worse, you can't even practice to gain the skills needed to handle the dropships since they're so expansive, and militia ones are finite. Please just change the dropship physics to how they were before, all the other changes I am okay with. It might take 3 uses of a dropship to just practice getting the hang of these ridiculous controls, 3 mlitia dropships cost 455,520 ISK total; this is just to practice with some militia dropships.

I agree with most of the feedback here, but I love the new Skirmish mode, the old skirmish mode was always far too one sided (though it wasnt completely due to the design of the game mode).
-I also liked the idea of different faction dropsuits having different UI's, that would make them all feel very distinct.
-I also like the new maps, but i'm still seeing the same 3 maps over and over again, not tired of them yet mind you, but I will be eventually.


Overall i'm happy with the changes (especially KBM support), i'm just hoping they do some actual Sov battle testing soon.

And to give some perspective on how much the our equipment and vehicles cost:

I dont know how much EVE you've played, but even the most expensive vehicles in DUST are going for chump change compared to how much ISK can be made in EVE. If you get serious about participating in DUST and its merc corporations at release then you'll be getting paid by EVE players, and they'll be paying your corp (and by extension, you) a lot more than what we get for hopping into an instant battle. Also, the more likely circumstance is when you start doing battles with a corp the corp will simply supply the vehicles to the designated pilots in your corp and funds the corp makes in its contracts will go to keep that supply up.

So, suffice it to say, I wouldn't expect many people to use gear above Type-1 that often in standard instant battles, however, the contract fights for EVE corporations will pay more, so that's where the Advanced and Prototype gear be necessary...

an ability to increase zoom in on sniper scopes for greater range. Currently the sniper rifles don't have the range that a sniper rifle should have.

Confirmation that the player pressed square to call medic when downed, like a voice calling for help. This currently isn't much of a problem, but feedback to the player is needed to let them know that he feature works. Perhaps a bleedout timer should appear.

-VOICE CHAT SHOULD BE ON BE DEFAULT!

Disagree.

I appreciate the sentiment of forcing everyone to be sociable, but having played many FPSs I know full well that the result is simply having to mute all of the idiots (basically everyone) at the start of every match.

Voice chat could maybe only be on by default with 'friends', 'corp' etc.

[OTHER CHANGES / FIXES]: (PART 2)
-Because each dropsuit type is manufactured by different corporations from different races, they should therefore have varying HUD graphics and coloring when it comes to their health meter, stamina meter, ammo meter, and minimap. This would really add a sense of variety which would keep the game from getting stale visually.

I support the OP.

also,
where is the killboard etc?

Its interesting that the breach discription says high damage and the tactical says medium damage but it has more damage.

["PRECURSOR" WEAPON FEEDBACK / REQUESTS]: About weapons.

-In general: If each variant is balanced properly, then they should all have the same price in the market because they're fairly equal. For some reason through, all non-regular variants of weapons cost more ISK then the regular one, even when the non-regular ones are inferior. This doesn't make sense to me.

-Assault Rifles

(FEEDBACK) Breach: The breach variant has lower damage per magazine than the regular in by hundreds, and this is true for all grades (standard, advanced, prototype). The breach variant does have better hipfire, but that does not really make up for being short hundreds of points per magazine. The weird thing is, the breach variant actually still cost more than the regular variant. A slightly bigger magazine capacity would solve this.

(REQUEST) New variant: High rate of fire, but low accuracy, and high recoil.

-Sniper Rifles

(REQUEST) CQC Snipe Rifle: A new CQC/mid-range variant would be very useful, basically a much weaker snier rifle that's effective for closer range. Increase fire rate, increase magazine size, make hipfire as good as the assault rifle, remove the sway, but in exchange decrease bullet damage substatally, and decrease zoom. This would really make the use of weapons in this game more various. It wouldn't technically count as a sniper rifle anymore, but share the same weapon skin. I would really love this kind of assault railgun.

-Mass Drivers

(FEEDBACK) In general: Why does Mass "Driver operation" have a prerequisite of "Weaponry level 4. Such a crappy weapon with terrible damage per magazine, and difficult to use... why does such a weapon have such high requirements? It should require only Weaponry level 1, or it really should get a huge buff (6 rounds regular/breach, 8 round for assault). This weapon is likely to be the worst gun type in the game right now; this isn't to say that its unusable since I'm sure there are many people who are good with it, but its the least generally useful. I noticed that sometimes when a mass driver grenade hits, it doesn't regester, or even explode; I understand there are hit detection issue, but since today most (if not all) of the hit detection issues have vanished for me, yet the Mass Driver still seems bugged.

(REQUEST) A new Mass Driver variant: I do appreciate the inclusion of new variants, though I think a charge variant would be nice. has a regular uncharged firing mode that does reduced damage compared to the regular variant, but the more it charges, the greater it travels straight without dropping. Trading damage and rate of fire (because of charge time) in exchange for hitting right where you're pointing too without the drop effect caused by gravity. The charging should not increase damage, simply make the grenades fly straight.

-Scrambler Pistols

(REQUEST) Machine Pistol variant: lower damage, same magazine size, but fully automatic.

(REQUEST) Charge pistol: lower damage than regular ones when not charged, and higher damage when charged.

(REQUEST) 10 round magazine: Trades damage for more rounds per magazine. I know the burst Scrambler pistol has 12 rounds already, but I want a semi-automatic Scrambler Pistol with greater magazine.

*(for when Laser Rifles come) Please please please please please make laser rifles light weapons, and NOT heavy weapons. I don't know if they will be light or heavy weapons, but I just want to say this preemptively. Lasers in an FPS is rare, and to restrict that to only one dropsuit would really limit a player's ability to experience such an interesting exotic weapon since it might conflict with their current suit specialization, and there is a lack of truly interesting and exotic weapons as light weapons.

I like the new dropships. They're more maneuverable, but harder to pilot. Plus you can do barrel rolls in them now.
