Only now with turrets relegated to secondary weapons the dropship is toothless without coordinated squads large enough to fill it. There is no way to adapt to this absence. We just have to park them and wait for CCP to make flying viable again.

now this is too funny Pirate

you think that dropships haven't needed something done to them since this build came out ? if the answer is no then what game have you been playing for last month or so because every other match it has been at least up til lately mostly dropships in matches blasting everything and all things out the sky . i didn't think by them nerfing the missles they would hit the dropships hard but they have and that in itself means i am happy as can be something has been needed to be done to dropships for the longest time if anything go back to buffing and tweaking tanks id rather see those things than dropships . but im glad they did in fact nerf missles for the fact it balances out the tanks and dropships now . but that being said i think others will go onto using either itty bitty ol pea shooters on tanks now and railguns which to me suck in themselves but thats just me but the pea shooters(blasters) installations now those things pack a punch so ppl will adapt to it .
but their is always next build they they will in fact have some type of LAV ,HAV or dropship OPed in some way shape or form its been the trend now for last 2 builds .

There is no reward mechanics for pilots now. "Balancing" the game would meant nerfing SML after pilots start getting WPs for other stuff. This did not happen, Dropships now are just 700k pointless joyrides, where guys with ARs and snipers are killing your gunners before you can even get in range with your military vehicle mounted prototype weapons. Rockets do nothing, blasters require you to stop directly in front of the enemies, light railguns are a joke. It's "proper balance" only if half of your brains is missing. But at least now scrubs in militia gear will not have to look up at all. So GG, thanks for the nerf. Conclusion: OP doesn't have a clue, but wanted to show DS pilots where it's at. Can't wait for real gunships. This will bring infinite QQ to DUST and I will be there, laughing at the tears. Until waves of whiners nerf them to the ground. The cycle will continue until we reach a true form of sniper-assault-tank, the ultimate redline challenge.

By the time you get your gunships, we will have a few forms of electronic warfare along with a new swarm type launcher :) I for one will have webifiers and ecm in my skill set

Because they posed a threat. Now they're just sad puppies, not even worth putting BFG fit on. I also hope you understand that electronic warfare will go both ways. So the QQ will repeat inevitably.
Governor Odius Doomheim 177	Posted - 2012.11.27 14:12:00 - [8] - Quote I think what we're starting to see is that the intended roles for vehicles is somewhat smaller than we thought initially. Some of us, myself included, are used to thinking of our vehicles as just another dropsuit. A big and expensive one, sure, but still, my dropship was my avatar in matches, I didn't want to be on the ground. It's starting to look like the intended role is actually significantly smaller, however. Just as it's not feasible to run fully prototype 100k dropsuits in pub matches (since you'll lose money with even two deaths, and even one death will see you making less money than you would with a militia suit) it seems it's not intended to be feasible to use high-end vehicles in these matches either. We clearly can't expect them to last more than a game or two, no matter how high-tech, so we need to consider how to make cheaply fit vehicles work. They also took the teeth out of vehicles, and again I think this is somewhat intended. In the case of dropships this was obvious, we're piloting transports we don't need all that damage output. HAVs have lost a bit too, but when skill bonuses get implemented they'll get it back. According to this dev blog a Surya piloted by someone with Marauder V will do double the damage with hybrids. Presumably the same will be true for missiles and the Caldari HAVs. This is plenty enough to make them dangerous, but not retains their poor tracking speed, visibility, and maneuverability so they're still quite able to die. What I suspect we'll see before long is larger vehicles being supported by infantry, and people calling for HAVs to be nerfed again, because their squad of d-bags with ARs can't take on the group that is supported by an HAV.

Its amazing that you didnt harp on about the broken AV so you could keep on using it against nerfed tanks

Dropship have taken a hammering, with more HAV's now using rail turrets they can be 1-2 shot from halfway across the map.
Magpie Raven ZionTCD Legacy Rising 161	Posted - 2012.11.27 16:40:00 - [11] - Quote Just saying with regard to dropships. Right now before they were a little OP. But just remember that dropships are meant to be transport and probably harrassment vehicles for when we get the re4ally large maps. They will be invaluble. They will also become much less powerful when fighters and gunshps are added. They may even need thier own fighter escorts to reach the front line safely. Also when all thats out they may need to be buffed
Noc Tempre Imperfects Negative-Feedback 1170	Posted - 2012.11.27 17:07:00 - [12] - Quote It's hilarious that they left swarm knock in place so staying close to a target is a death wish. In any event dispersion is the only thing that CCP needs crucified for. You literally cannot hit a stationary tank at 50m or a stationary Lav at 30m with more than one missile per volley. Completely broken mechanic. They still have the insane Dps why you get lucky and hit though.

You don't seem to have read any of my posts. Dropships have needed many things since day one. Top of the list was a viable way to earn a living transporting infantry rather than having to act as gunships. Dropships are meant to deliver a shock assault squad on top of an objective. The true dropship buff won't actually touch the ship at all because it's an increase in the size of an organized force in game. I don't need OP turrets when I can land six heavies with HMG's on your head all at once.

Better infantry or with vehicles Its that simple. Words of the wise
