1) Spawning at there fitted mobile
2) Per man dropped

I really would like to see this happen, especially the rep part. |

For a short time, any WP-gaining action the passengers dropped perform, the pilot should get 1/5th the WP or something to that effect.
And spawn-in WP isn't given simply because it's bugged. This was stated long ago, during the Closed Beta that it should be given, but isn't for some reason.
Its a big bug that should be fixed imo, that'd be like being a tank turret support and gaining no points............well you get my drift lol. |

I'm a dropship pilot myself, so I understand your frustration, but I'm pretty sure dropships aren't a super high priority compared to all the other stuff they've got to get working.
True, but for a ship that can turn the tide on skirmish, deploy you at any objective at anytime while giving you air support.
I mean c'mon, it is a hugely needed item in the game that people simply don't want to use and why? because you don't get any WP.
So instead of having a few drop-ships dropping off ppl at A B C D E, you have none and rely on stationary clone reanimation units that can easily be hacked by the enemy.
I think its a big part of the game and would make a big difference in the battlefield, if CCP would fix them to give out points correctly. |

Volgair wrote:War points aside let us look at what the dropship can do and the issues with each.
Remote Rep Vehicle Shield and Armor
Why they are not being used
- No war points
- Terrible interface where the DS is more likely to nose dive your HAV then rep it.
- DS can only perform a logistics roll out of combat not when the combat is happening due to a grossly inadequate tank for the roll. (If an HAV is at risk of being lost it too hot for a DS to linger above it)
What Might Fix it
-More people in match, so a we can have a afford spider tank scenario
-Give DS logistics incentives
-Return the DS PG and CPU to allow for a better tank
Personnel Logistics (Dropping People)
Why they are not being used
- No war points
- Randoms rarely spawn to your CRU due to the current high risk nature of Dropships, which is in turn due to their paper thin tank. (and the fact that most DS pilots are awful and non participant in on voice)
What Might Fix it
- CRU incentives (team respawn)
- A system that allows DS pilots to get a portion of WP gained from Merc's that drop from their ship (until they die or after, say 2 minutes)
High Speed Low Altitude Weapon Platform
Why they are not being used
-The Pilot gets no Kills
-The Pilot does not Warpoint well because the current weapons suit the DS very poorly
What Might Fix it
-Small Blaster- Increased range. Increased Damage or ROF.
-Small Rail- Increased Splash Radius
-Small Missile - Increased Splash Radius, Projectile speed & Accuracy. (Undo what they did mid December)
I totally agree with this post, thanks for the comment and feedback! hopefully the devs will look at this and take it into consideration. The splash damage on missiles are absolutely terrible, for a main line of defense, rails, blasters, missiles.....it's sure got terri bad defense and offense. |

except their blast radius will be nerfed like the others, which kills the current DS turrets. |

This topic keeps getting new threads after this post, if you want these changes put your support here and not throw it all over the forums for the devs to see scattered posts, |
