Dropships are clearly going to become absolutely mandatory. Getting people from A to B quicly will be vital. Not only that but having dropships scout the map for enemy intel. Where are their tanks? Which way are they coming from? Can we position ourselves in a vantage point on their route? Do they have dropships spying on our side and last but not least, sweet baby Jesus, dropship dogfights.

actually we're going to get fighters and maybe gunships, so the sky's will become very unsafe for dropships. I definitely want countermeasures and points for actually doing a dropships job, otherwise most pilots will just switch over to other aircraft. |

Surely you don't mean to say that the sky's are safe for dropships now. :P
I'm not that foolish, but at the minute we can run away and hide from AV users, but we get enemies that can go faster than us, can do way more damage than we can, and can follow us everywhere, things are going to get very nasty for dropship pilots. |

Fronting the full cost of this role will never pay off.
I see it as a matter of pride that I have never asked for corp money to fund my dropships and remain independent in funding them, but I can't see that being viable in the future. I'm afraid that they might end up like the transport helicopters in bf3, used to gain an early advantage then utterly ignored unless a sniper wants to get to a good vantage spot. |
