DUST Search - Since when did Dropship get renamed into......

Why would I use the Dropship as a Dropship?

I try to pick people up and I get one of the follow:

- Nobody gets in
- I get hit by swarms and either flip or smash into a wall/mountain
- I get blown up by a Forge Gun in two hits
- People may get in

Then when I try to drop people off at the correct objective

- Nobody gets out because they're mongs. (All blue dots are.)
- I get hit by swarms and either flip or smash into a wall/mountain
- I get blown up by a Forge Gun in two hits

So right now, theres a reason Dropships don't act like Dropships.

- People complaining constantly about AV not being strong enough then gunning down a Dropship with a Forge Gun priced at 8,800 ISK (WHICH IS PRETTY ****, CONSIDERING MY SHIP IS 300K. GG) It's strong enough as it is and if anything needs a nerf)
- Swarms are stupidly powerful not for destroying a ship with damage, but by flipping it, stupid amounts of times
- No reward, my gunners are usually top 3 when we're flying around and because of that, I get major warpoints from assists, why would I pick idiots up who wouldn't even get outta the ship if I don't even get points for trying to ferry them about?

Honestly, I can't wait for the Gunships to come out, you're all gonna whine so much.

Yea its in the code, they're basically Dropships that dominate a whole game whilst the other team tries to av it down with swarms.

Please remember that when DS is outrunning swarms it is not dominating any single place but only giving some sporadic fire support.

All you have to do, is find an area with several enemy, keep moving in a circular pattern, around that area of the map, kill all the opponents, then move on to next area of map with enemy infantry. The "inside gunner" will have a decent shot at most infantry MOST of the time. The "outside gunner" is just screwed, lol. I've seen it done a number of times. The perimeter of the circle for the ship, doesn't have to be all that big.

This is my first comment on the matter but what kerosiini say as is 100% accurate! Yes you COULD live forever doing this particular maneuver but you would be doing absolutely nothing for your team. A good pilot will do a combination of strafing runs and circling... NOW IF ONLY THEY WOULD FIX THE SEVERE LAG WHEN FLYING A DROPSHIP!!!!!!!

The Polish Hammer Doomheim 373	Posted - 2012.10.16 23:15:00 - [16] - Quote Because it's a rarity to see a Dropship being used as...well...a Dropship. It's more profitable to use it as a gunship. Therefore, people are using them as a gunship. I've had a few good runs on a Dropship before and i've had bad runs too.

Btw, it IS always so weird how the enemy team seems to have at least twice the amount of brain cells as your team- even if you win.
