part one of my series on air combat
right now drop ships are just a variant of one simple formula; a pilot, two gunners, and four passengers. What i would like to see are some variants of the formula. Drop ships could be divided into three types: fighter, transport (current form of drop ships), and bombers.
Fighters would excel at air to air combat, be very fast, and be extremely agile. However, fighters would only have one seat, low armor, and could not land without a long strip of land. The fighters would carry a machine gun and air to air misses (like swarm rockets that can actually hit something). In addition, fighters would be near impossible to use against land based targets so they would not be overused.
Transport drop ships are what we have now.
Bombers would slow, high Armour ships with four seats, one pilot, two gunners, and one bombardier. The bomber would fly over targets and drop bombs on them. In addition to explosives the bomber could drop support packs for allies. The gunners could only have AA guns to defend from on coming drop ships. |

...*sigh*...
Go on a Youtube video, click "share", look at the text link that shows up in the text box below "share", and notice the "...youtu.be..". I don't feel like taking a screenshot to prove it to you, so check yourself before accusing me.
If you don't feel like checking, search Youtube for "Dust 514 2009 demo part 1", and skip to 5:36, you will see the fighters.
You make me disappointed right now, I was trying to help you. |

Very.
Why does everyone ask for dropship variants? Why would you fly a transport ship with a few extra guns, when you could fly a fighter specifically designed to take down other fighters, transport ships (dropships) and basically anything that moves? |

A DS can have just as large an impact on the battlefield as a fighter. Also, you assume that a fighter would be shooting fish in a barrel. CCP have a lot of experience balancing. |

I really don't think you get the point- a dropships will -never- be a gunship or a fighter. People should stop asking for variants of them that are like that, as CCP is already working on new vehicle classes such as fighters and gunships.
Also where did I state that dropships won't have as large an impact on the battlefield as a fighter or a gunship? That's right nowhere. And a fighter will most likely beat a dropship, as that's what it was made for whether you like it or not. |
