So I thought barrel rolls were extinct when ccp put in the flight ceiling but mess around with a fuel injector and you can pull some cool moves off. Ive been able to do barrel rolls, immelmanns, and flips(both front and backwards).

I am really starting to enjoy doing ridiculous things in dropships. Some blue dot stole my dropship because theirs got hit by the RDV, so I pushed them off their sniping position with my next one, dropping the nose at just the last second to catch them as I flew overhead.
Then, under fire, I parked my dropship on top of an enemy ship, while it was flying. Best exploitation of blind spot ever.
ETA: Btw, I'm off to practice flips after reading that. |

I wish I could fly dropships 
Whenever I lift off, an eve ship crashes down on to the planet, scares a huge flock of birds, birds fly into a passing bolas, the bolas pilot freaks out, and I end up crashing into said bolas. |

For some 'safe' practice, head out into the deep Aerial unit zone with plenty of open space and have fun, then proceed to loose the drop-ship spectacularly over the battlefield ;3 |

I can fly them ok, it's the landings that always turn into flaming wrecks. |

I think people buy dropships just to ram dropships. I was in a match with a awesome pilot.... I didn't have a turrent so watched the map with the overview. I see a dropship hurtling towards ours.... I bale then see them both falling to the ground together... |

This happens more than you think, although it is rarely successful. |

I have been sand surfing with my dropshit. I fly in close to the ground and my gunners shoot the troops. I lost 1.2 million ISk in a single game trying this out. But it was hella fun.  |

Tips & Tricks with the Afterburner! :
1. When you're on the ground on a relatively flat and open area, .. activate the afterburner and pull back on the left analog, whilst
thrusting upwards simultaneously .. this will make your dropship take off while doing a backflip at super fast speed , doing a speedy loop while heading straight toward the ground (and if you do it right) you'll pull up inches from crashing and zip off at super high speed.
2. On the four point map with the warehouses and 'tabletop' in the centre,.. go to either end of the northern end of the road.. get up at a high altitude, dive down, fly south along the road at a fast pace under the tabletop, and as soon as you clear it, do what I stated in tip 1 (above) ... now, granted you don't hit the little crane hook on the left and you're aligned as straight as possible, you'll do a backflip and fly back under the tabletop again, hopefully crushing red dots in the process as you do a low fly by and whack them on the head. (i've only done this successfully once but once i've only been flying my Myrons and as sure as hell not risking those! (about 600,000 ISK per fit! -sadface- )
3. If you do the 'barrel roll' technique, by activating the afterburner and carry out the barrel roll as soon as you activate the afterburner, ... yeah it LOOKS cool, but you're just probably going to crash into a mountain.
4. During those lovely skirmish matches where your team is redlining the other team, all the pesky installations are taken out and there are no real ground-to-air threats on the field, give sniper-crushing a go! Fly into their red-zone, (usually under their MCC and see how many unaware snipers you can crush before you zip out of their because the red clock of doom is going to count down to 0.
5. If you're having trouble stabilizing your dropship with the afterburner (or without, even) I highly recommend for all you rookie pilots to invest in a 'nanofiber' chassis, as it will make you more stable.
happy flying! |

Best ive ever done successfully was a 3 for one squash. Landed my dropship into a dropship only sniper nest. Made for a great red painted belly when I parked ontop of the three snipers in the nest. Felt so good I went and crushed assults and heavies though the three snipers were chasing me with there dropship.
And people thought the last build was the end for dropship squashing hahaha im still going aswell as everyone was during the vehicle spam build |

Is it okay if I save this for when we get signatures? I think it perfectly sums up most aspiring pilots. |

I really wish they'd take that stupid flight ceiling back off. Those idiots players had no business complaining about dropships on towers in the first place, and now that we're getting indirect-fire plasma launchers, even if you could park one on a building, it would be easy to blow it up regardless. We don't need a flight ceiling like that anymore. |
