WHz DS9899 Doomheim 136	Posted - 2012.11.19 20:32:00 - [1] - Quote I know how to fly them, and I get the thruster part, but how does it keep in the air? The fact that it has no wings confuses the crap out of me..... Give me a non-hateful awsner, and you get a cookie

The fact that it has no wings confuses the crap out of me..... Because sci-fi? I honestly don't know. Looking at things like Galaxies in Planetside 1 for who knows how many years means I just accept it. Just imagine it's kinda like a chopper and you'll be fine.

EriktheHeartless Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 168	Posted - 2012.11.19 20:34:00 - [4] - Quote also this has been asked before.
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 1849	Posted - 2012.11.19 20:38:00 - [5] - Quote Ever notice that the thrusters are always angled at downward to some degree? Pretty sure it's just thrust vectoring vs. gravity.
Jotun Hiem Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 412	Posted - 2012.11.19 20:41:00 - [6] - Quote There's two thrusters on the back.

Moochie Cricket SyNergy Gaming 143	Posted - 2012.11.19 21:04:00 - [10] - Quote Look up videos of the F-35 taking off and landing. It has wings but they dont provide lift or stability when performing VTOL

Sev Alcatraz Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 185	Posted - 2012.11.19 21:16:00 - [11] - Quote I could give you a long winded explanation of the physics behind direct jet propulsion or I can dumb it down. basically you have 2 vertical thrusters located at the front of the ship that gives you your pitch the controllable thrusters at the back give you your yaw and also controls stability
ugg reset ZionTCD Legacy Rising 234	Posted - 2012.11.19 21:42:00 - [12] - Quote go really fast and hit the insta-brick button (L2) and you will see that you're not far off. thrusters provide lift, much like a helicopters blades.

Ludvig Enraga KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 132	Posted - 2012.11.20 04:14:00 - [15] - Quote It's sorta like Harrier IRL, no? VTOL type of technology.
Skihids Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 969	Posted - 2012.11.20 04:17:00 - [16] - Quote They are so ugly that the ground repells them.

Makuta Miserix Better Hide R Die 33	Posted - 2012.11.20 14:44:00 - [22] - Quote I just want to say this while this is here. I bought a Militia Dropship couple of days ago, but it won't leave the ground, period. No matter what button I press it jut sits there like a big waste of metal. I tried with both the Gorgon and Viper, but it didn't matter which one I tried so... Could anyone help me with this?

Could anyone help me with this? you forgot to pay your parking tickets and they booted your dropship.now you have to puchase the dmv skill book and skill up in hostile negotiations with public employees until you hit level 5,then your going to need the ticket paying skillbook and level it to 3,and you will also need the waiting in line skillbook at level 4. then you should be able to lift your dropship off the ground.....or stop eating so many space twinkees and your dropship would be able to lift your big a$$.

I was being quite serious. NOTHING I have seen here or in-game has been helpful.
843 pano 843 Boot Camp 200	Posted - 2012.11.20 17:57:00 - [28] - Quote Makuta, here's a checklist for ya to see what's wrong 1. bring in a ship and be the first to get in it so you are in the drivers seat. You will get the third person view with a bunch of instructions on the screen. 2. Press and hold L1 to engage thrusters. 3. If this does not work then either your L1 button is broken or you have a bug that needs to be looked at. Post your bug report to the proper forum thread and CCP will take a look at it. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps. Thank you for a serious reply, its not my button I was using a new controller so... I know for a fact that no-one but myself was in the Dropship so it must be a bug. Again thank you for a serious answer!
