Well its gotten to a point where Dropships are beginning to be fun! And congratz to that CCP I mean it.
But i wanna discuss 2 problems that iv found.
Iv dumped every point of my 1.1mil SP into nothing but things for my dropship and this is what iv found:
The new flight mechanics are cool, but that's all they are. i feel slowing the pitch and yaw speed down did nothing but cripple the good pilots . I understand ( or at least i think i do) That CCP wanted to give the Dropship more "Stability" And honestly this helps tons. But at the same time you have made your biggest problem even bigger with the reduced roll speed. Which leads me to my next point.
Swarms.
The damage is better and no one can argue that, dropships aren't popping in 1 1/2 swarms anymore.
But heres the problem. How much they move you.
Honestly its ridiculous how much those little missiles can throw your ship.
Ex: I was flying a very expensive ship that could take quite a few hits from missiles yes? Well i take one swarm in a match the other day. It barely got through my shields into my real defenses of armor. But my ship leans HARD HARD left and sends me towards the ground, i can barely correct but what happens? Another swarm hits me and keeps me tilted seeing as i didn't have a good 5 whole seconds just to shift my ship. Next thing i know im flying sideways towards the ground with no help of recovery not from the damaging part of the swarms but from the pesky and undeniably slow roll speed and the ridiculously high movement of swarms.
Even worse is when you dodge the swarms. Heheheheh i gunned it around 10 building and i have come to a sneaky stop behind this one right here and no one could ever see me (: SIKE. Next thing ya know 1 swarm missile managed to get around, taking out a quarter of my shields, big woop. Wait. **** shit **** o wait! No! walllllllllllll. <--------- that's how much i can get out before that one missile tilts me towards what is my cover from that dam missile, only to be my downfall.
Next thing i know the building that so graciously was my cover from the guy with a t2 forge gun already has become nothing more than a dangerous thing to be around, Hell CCP you might as well mark any tall building that could cover a dropship with unsafe areas because after 10 seconds near one your liable to die.
Do me a favor CCP, and this is my passion, i do nothing but save for another DS atm after i lose one.
Reduce splash/movemnt damage from swarms. <----- i beg of you.
+++++++++++++++
Increase the roll speed back up and tell the bad drivers time to learn.
Thanks guys, comment and tell me what you think!

If your flying tonight again around the same times there could be a chance you run into me on skirmish if skirmish works tonight had to play ambush last night because skirmish was not letting my group in.
Exact same here. But yeah theres a big difference in a viper and a T1 Armor Ship without 1 militia item on it bro (; |

Im excited to see how you sheilds hold up to my Armor. And you better hope i dont set you on fire is all. <--- the downfall of sheilds lol |
