Dropships are fine. If I crash mine it's because I'm dicking around trying to fly under archways, and if it gets shot down it's because I'm sitting still letting my gunners shoot at things. You just need a little more practice and you'll see that the controls work fine. Also, check this out. |

Yeah, I've done that. I've even done emergency landings to repair my burning dropship. This tends to end in a random stealing it, but whatever.
Avenger 245 wrote:How many of flipped their dropships?
Heh, yeah. I've been practicing ground level flight, which means very sharp turns at almost 0 altitude. I've flipped my dropship a couple times doing that.

You can pitch the dropship one side or the other. Why would they limit how far you can pitch the dropship, which is the only way to make barrel rolls impossible? I mean, barrel rolling serves no purpose with a dropship, because of their flight physics, but there's no reason to arbitrarily make it impossible.
Avenger 245 wrote: Has anyone managed to land, pick up people and fly them somewhere?
Yeah, I've done that. You don't actually have to land to pick someone up, btw.

Dropships need to have flight mechanics that reflect their roll on the field. The don't need to be fast since their role entails slowing down and landing then picking up people which leaves a dropship Unable to do maneuvers. Because of that armor would be better for a adropship rather than speed. A dropship does need to be able to flip or barrelroll because there is no point for it to a stable platform
A fast transport can be just as useful as a hardy transport. It's all a matter of how you want to get there. |

It's difficult for you to land. I can do it pretty consistently.
'Course I completely failed when doing it earlier today. Damn you, school! I couldn't play for a week and now I'm rusty! CCP, nerf homework! |

Dropships don't need to be immune from knockaround. Get good, son. |
