I just wasted 200k on a dropship just to have it blow up because it wouldnt fly straight. It flew sideways than crashed. WTF fix these controls. The current ones are stupid. |

Working as intended.
Due to their abuse last build the controls and object collision have been changed greatly.
Pilot suits and skills that increase pilot control are most likely coming SOONtm. |

I hope so, its just annoying when you tell it to do womething and it does something totally different. |

They're not broken, they just require practice now.
Complaining about dropship controls is like me complaining about sniping controls just because I'm bad at it. I suck at sniping, but I don't think the way sniping works should be changed to make me better at it. |

It doesn't, it does exactly what you tell it to. The problem is, you're telling it to do the wrong thing. |

flying in this game is one of my favorite things to do. The only issue i have is landing gear. Don't want to take damage just to land to try and pick someone up. especially in hot areas where you need to get in and out quickly.
Also maybe a seat saver or something? Don't want to jump out to repair my shields just to have someone else get in and crash my expensive piece of equipment right before I can finish |

Yes, ownership should be preserved if we have to pay for vehicles. Maybe a refund for the unit could be issued post-game for vehicles destroyed while/directly after being piloted by another player? |

Try not flying sideways and avoiding the ground. Works like a kitten. |

Too good in the last build, too terrible now. Is anyone else getting a chuckle out of this? I wouldn't worry too much we'll see something different in later beta builds. |

except the part if you get hit by one volley of missles you get knocked sideways and crash. So no matter whether you're dropship can take 5 hits or one you still crash |

I agree with this.
There should at least be a virtual reality training of some sort for dropships. Right now it takes the use of several dropships totalling in like half a million ISK in cost just to practice and get the hang of the controls. |

The difficulty of piloting the dropsuit is great but I will agree wih the OP that the current controls are "stupid" and need to be completly rethought in my opinion. And that goes for tanks and lavs as well |

I really enjoy the dropships. But here are my gripes with them:
1. I have no visual indication of speed, inclination and rate of ascent.
This makes hovering - such as just before a landing - more difficult than it should be. The camera as it is is simply not enough indication of these factors.
2. Missile impact impulse is erratic.
Even my Viper-fit can tank a few volleys of swarm missiles if I'm not hovering at a standstill. The damage is not much of a problem. But sometimes even a single stray missile can flip the dropship so badly that it's completely out of control. Most of the time the effect isn't as bad and it's a nice effect, but other times the ship just completely flips on it's head from a single missile. |

I've used nothing but a dropship about 90% of my matches so basicly almost all the time I use a drop ship and I get the whole bounce from being hit but I have only be flipped ONCE and I get hit all the time :P while laughing at the low damage it does and I agree with how some sit on towers with them but the controls seem fine with me hell I can fly better than in last build if you ask me and as for landing and collision I don't got a problem with either one also but I think some of that comes from the damage reduction that I have it seems to effect the collision as well and if you turn it around just right you can land at a pretty fast pace and take off just as fast and i've noticed that if you hover just off the ground without landing they can still get in so I overall think they are fine and shouldn't be changed just cause someone can't use them right from the start and don't want to learn but thats how I feel  |
