Hey fellow mercs.
I am currently trying to figure out this whole dropship thing, I am a big fan of flying but i am finding it super difficult to afford to do this. its a job nobody really seems to take and yet it is the most expensive one and doesnt compensate at all. I kinda wish there was an insurance style thing like in eve.
Anywho I know this is still beta and what not but I just want to get some help from fellow mercs on which way to go.
My last game I set up my gorgon with as much armor and shields as i can stuff into its little trunk. Im flying around dodging swarm missiles landing in my safe zone to heal, repeat. about 5 minitues in One shot while making a turn. still said i had quarter armour, i hit the armour repair, but i was burnign and went down.
So i quickly by another and say hmmm, lucky shot. I make sure to keep my speed up and start making my rounds again. 30 seconds in. forge gun to the groin.
so i say **** this. go to the back of the lvl, call another dropship with the idea of just practising in the safe zone to try to get even better at flying. and I mean as far in the back as you can go behind my buildings. 40 seconds
forge gun
So this is my frustration, it seems to be soooo easy to take down the most expensive thing. but hey maybe i suck at it.
so should i be going Myron with shield tanking? or can you use the gallente ships and armour tank?
should i be waiting until i can afford the better ones so they dont die so quick?
am i not understanding a fundemental part of flying? I thought it was supposed to take skill to shoot these down with a forge gun.
Love the game, would really like some help.
Last question, what are the best weapons to have on the drop ships?

Hey guys!
thanks for all the replys and I have read and reread the flight training guide by Skihids over and over :).
It helped alot, until i read the end of the topics when you guys talk about how its useless to fly now :( thought i was just missing something.
Anyway so about shield tanking vs armour tanking. Might be useless to fly right now but i want to starting skilling in one of those directions. What are your guys thoughts?
Skihids you only had shield tanking on your page, sadly i already skilled into gallete :/ should i switch now or is armour tanking viable?
PS..
I played alot of Leauge of legends before this game, i want to give a high five to the amazing community in Dust 514. if anybody plays lol you know it is the worst community a game has ever had.
good job :) |
