yeah that's not broken at all, I've noticed people tend to leave battles once they lose a dropship, is there some kinda bug that allows them not to loose the vehicle if they leave battle? |

20 seconds.
However somone brought to my attention there is possibly a bug making it impossible for me to fly, X axis sensitivity is throttled to 100%
Which may explain why I rolled one before lift off the other day that I stole. |

I bought one to play with and practiced over home base at the beginning of the match. If you are careful, it is easy enough to maintain control. Just don't mix buttons. Granted in the middle of a firefight, your first flight might be a bit... perilous. |

their is a bug that does that but only if you was disconnected from the battle but if you leave some have seen and tried to use this but it won't work unless you are dced while still in it
I've also seen a bug where you can't take off but the sensitivity bug your talking about I have yet to see |

thats true first time hurt but the whole careful I am not I've mastered it to the point I can fly under the pipes while at max speed while not hitting pipes or even the ground it almost feels like the old controls improved to me now I can fly like it a extension of my hand |

I was a pro dropship pilot before the patch. I cant maintain x-axis (or y-axis) stability at all in this build I mean doing a barrel roll is not fun when you dont want to do it. Bumping the stricks the wrong way almost always leads to total control loss/stalling.
Now I have seen other pilots that where doing the things I was doing in the previous patch and they do not have the wobbles at all. This further suspects the bug is affecting some people and missing with others. |

I meant be gentle until it was mastered. I haven't mastered it as I only flew the one time - I save my piloting for Eve  |

^ This
I take off after a few seconds crash or lose control as soon as i try and move and crash shortly afterwards, and with the current price can't afford to waste 20 of them practising. What was wrong with the old controls? Flying the DS were sooooo much fun last build, I have no issue with the cost if the things worked as before.

no they just don't know how to ground pound..
a downed pilot who can't fight outside of his dropship is just some guy |

So far I think the longest lived dropship I've had is a Grimsnes which lasted 3 or so deployments. But more often it's just the 1 match it'll last. I'm not so concerned about their durability but I think they are on occasion overly sensitive to being hit. Worst I've had yet was having a swarm volley hit me while in near level flight with decent forward velocity at low altitude - went from slight pitch down to inverted (at a guess more than a 90 degree change in orientation in that one moment) with that swarm hit and cratered about a second later.
Pretty sure they're going to keep me close to impoverished this build, they're just too much fun to fly :D |

Since I started bringing my dropships into the fight I've never had one last more than a single match. If you've found a way to get kills and still avoid swarms I'd love to hear it. All anyone can say is "outrun them", but if you're going full tilt then not only can your gunners not hit anything, but swarms often seem to catch up to you anyway. |

I'll tell you soon, almost ready to undock my ship for some test flights, then I'll be bringing it to the battlefield. I was a mean dropship pilot the past 2 builds, if I can get the hang of these stupid controls you should be seeing me in the skies a lot more. It's a mixed blessing, since I won't be racking up over 15-20 kills per match anymore lol, but I'll be harassing the **** out of tanks and objectives ;) |

lol tanks don't scare me I tend to go pick them off as for one I stay out of reach for them and two I can take more than 1 hit from a tank unless he has the best of the best on his tank but even then I can still survive a few hits easy I had one game well my 2 gunners did so well in a skirmish map that the enemy had 19 clone reserves down from 150 and even 1 game where I took out a poor sap with a shield tank and got a armor tank and my gunners normally have a field day with me piloting |

I'd pay to see that. I'm fairly sure most of you are either talking out your asses or are flying around the edges of the map all game... |

nope if your the only guy with a swarm launcher the drop ship just circles so missles hardly catch up to it. try it. missile speed needs a buff or be a little bit more intelligent at getting to the target. if the dropship feels threatened they just fly off. at the moment a dropship with 1 pilot 1 gunner can easily circle 2 swarm heavies. the dropship missiles/splash dmg will take out both heavy before the dropship get into hull if the pilot isnt dumb. i don't have a lot of points in swarm launcher atm though. |
