Drommy Hood: My universal code for a DS is to never trust anyone but your squad in a Dropship. They'll sit there and wait for your trusted squad mates manning the guns to die and farm WP. Occasionally you get a smart one who knows the queue to get out.
Check out the channel Condor Squad. We hook DS pilots up with legit and tight squads.
Current Squad Setup:
1x Pilot (usually squad leader for obvious reasons)
2x gunners
1x "Skydiver" as we've come to call them. When some one is continuously using a Swarm Launcher or forge, the pilot makes a pass over the suspect and the skydiver (preferably an HMG heavy) bails out and deals with the threat.
But relying on the blues will bring on the blues, as they will be uncoordinated and dismal with respect (most if not all of the time)
Now that sounds like a good idea. Iv not used a fully fitted dropship with my corp yet, as iv wanted to get good before I go ahead and load in the guys and crash them into something. I think I'm past that point though I'm still loosing ships to enemy fire, but only when I'm doing something stupid now that I have a fully fitted DS rather than a milita. I'm totally going to have to try and employ your tactics with the skydiver
It an be quite effective if done properly, another condor squad policy is wipe the map clean of turrets before you call in DS, minimise the AV risk.

Average merc height = 2m (ish)
height of merc with a dropship landed on his head = 0m (ie Dead)
You see all these crazy ground hogs running around in lv's running people over... well why not do it in a dropship? It certainly makes my day when i squish a bunch of scouts that think theyre safe up some mountain lol
While both are fun LAV's don't explode when you miss |

Speakers
High powered module
CPU: 2
PG:1
Prerequisites: none.
Description: This module is attached to the dropsuit using a few wires upon entering the pilot seat of a vehicle, and allows any voice communication from the pilot or driver to be heard in a 5 metre radius around the vehicle through protected speakers.
This module will not only allow you to create the music blasting, boombox, hardcore kittening awesome ride you've always wanted, but by putting SP into Volume Amplification (1x) [SOON^tm], you increase your speakers' output volume by 50% per level.
Variants:
"Madonna" Speakers
Db Amplifying Advanced Speakers
Prototype "Earburst" Speakers
Officer class "Public" Speakers
Microphones not provided.
If this happens I'm going "ride of the valkyries" |

*EDIT*
Neeeeeevermind just saw that it's possible lol Does anyone else play chicken with the ground and only try and hit the dampener a split-second before impact? I'm justifying it by believing that the dampener makes me easier to see and I'd rather be behind a hill before I hit it.
I'm still waiting for the video of a full HMG wielding heavy squad dropping out of the sky and annihilating the enemy team. |

We never get enough players to do it in one match and keep the DS airborne.
But then again if we got a guy with a recorder in the right position and a guy with AV and timed it just right we could get video of a squad of heavies hitting the ground with a flaming dropship falling out of the sky...
Bojo!!! we have to do this it would look awesome! |

Bojo!!! we have to do this it would look awesome! Total PR stunt but I'm down. I have some contacts who might be interested. I do not have a recorder however........I'll look for some one who does. We could make Condor Squad films!
We could make "why you should be a dropship pilot" video's and show off all the cool stuff we can do, could boost the number of dropship pilots in game and we could get some publicity for condor squad as well |

**** I'm not going to be online till tomorrow evening at least, I don't care if I'm not involved in this someone doing this would be enough. But on a side note we can't risk some random berry's messing this up a corp match would probably be best .
And mithridates, I can see that happening a lot. |

Saw it on the recruitment thread but my artistic skills are awesome in imagination but crap in practice. And it wasn't a huge derail it's still DS related. |
