Dropships are supposed to be for transporting troops not to do serious damage thats why I think there should be a new air vehicle that can be like a jet and helicopter for attacking. The vehicle should have air to air or air to ground missles. So if you want to destroy some tanks you can equip air to ground missles. But to make it fair there should be weapons that can lock on to the it and you have a limited number of flares so you have to buy more. I think that would make the air combat more exciting for the pilot rather than just transporting in a dropship. What do you think players |

well i admit i would like to be able to fight using something like little fighters. But then again i am not a pilot.
What i can say is, that it might induce some problems, Dropships are right now hard to hit with SL and Forge guns (unless the pilots an idiot and stops moving) so fighters might be the living nightmare for infantry (harder to hit, bomb dropping nightmares straight out of Hell's underbed) when they equip air to ground missiles. Can't say anything against choppers as long as they fly slower than Dropships (which would make them useless because any idiot like me would be able to take em down with SL's) |

I'm sick of this opinion that people keep spewing out. All Vehicles are modular, I can make a fit that dose what ever i want and if it's trash then that falls on me. wether it's a DS thats a flying brick with a cru or a load out ment to wreak infantry.

Well, actually, all we have full confirmation on is Fighters. We certainly hope they other ones you mentioned are on the table, but we don't know if they will be, yet. |

In old dev video, from fanfest I think, they mention using webs to slow down dropships. It said they were hard to kill otherwise, requiring a team of webber and av.
So, it's not that dropships are overpowered, it's that their counter is coming SOON. Once we have that counter faster aircraft may be viable.
Missiles are a Caldari specialty, Minmatar and Khanid also. Aircraft will probably have as wide a weapon range as ground vehicles. Personally, I think forward firing blasters would be fun, blasters seem easier to aim when you are also driving then when somebody else is changing direction while you are aiming. |

There will be different types added bro. If you notice on the icon screen during loading, it lists (light, medium and heavy land vehicles) now light and heavy are LAV and HAV with medium yet to come. The same for air vehicles (light, medium and heavy). Now being there is only one type of air vehicle right now (dropship) there's two more types of air vehicle to come, and pretty soon I rekon or they wouldn't have added said vehicle icons. |

I really loved flying the Raptor in UT2k4 and really hope for something like it in Dust.
Small ones that are single pilot, highly mobile but low tank. Big ones with pilot and gunner, etc.
Can't imagine they'd be cheap. |

The rdv uses the medium icon, so heavy aircraft must be larger. |
