I know the game is small and forums smaller still
But I noticed us three are pretty much the only pilots always on this forum. Who are the other pilots you see in games often? |

I too am a rail, forge magnet! But by far the most deadly anti dropship weapon is any other pilot willing to crash his militia dropship into you.

I stopped flying when missiles where nerfed. The cost vs. reward just isn't there now. |

Also why do missiles seem impossibly to aim from a moving vehicle. They seem to stray off in random directions (Not) where aimed. |

Small missile turrets were nerf hammered by dramatically reducing both the damage and splash radius.
This effectively converted the AOE weapon into a direct hit weapon and made it nearly useless on a dropship. |

Forge Guns are a real problem for dropships as they are currently balanced against the HAV's.
Any medium vehicle is going to suffer proportionally more than a heavy vehicle, and the dropship with its huge hitbox, extreme exposure, and pitiful acceleration (absent an AB), compounds the problem. |

I think I hit the flight ceiling, flying along then all of a sudden I crashed into something and started to drop.
That, or maybe its a type of New Eden bird that can cloak its self. |

This about sums up the FG deal. I should take that quote and make it my signature on the forums. |

This effectively converted the AOE weapon into a direct hit weapon and made it nearly useless on a dropship. I feel like this may have changed recently.
A corp mate and I were forge-sniping on one of the sky-scrapers on Biomass and we had to ride his dropship up to the building.
On the ride there I hopped into his gunner seat and took some potshots at a neutral installation for free points. He was running with two missile turrets but they were both dead-on accurate when I fired them.
Is there a version of the missile turret that's got a major boost to accuracy? Or did they stealth-buff them? |

I also have a nice little armor dropship with about 3k hp that dies pretty easily anything more then 1 forge shot and I'm in deep kitten wish the things had more CPU.... maybe I should take off that mobile CRU till we get points for having it...... |

the forward and backward motion of the dropship throws them in weird directions I do not know if lateral changes effect it though. anyways you have to be perfectly still while they are fireing otherwise they will go was off course blasters are better cause you can sort of spray and pray with them. fyi I hate all small turrets can I have a large blaster as a main weapon on my dropship? |

Well, we were moving in from the spawn when I started taking shots and they were going right where I pointed them.
Maybe if you just go slow enough...? |

I would fly my dropships (I always have 10 fairly beefy ships on hand) but I usually just hop in with blueberries, and blueberries get dropships killed, sooooo
I also don't play very much these days, highly annoyed with the state of Beta right now after 11 months now.
As for the OP (lol), the breach forge gun is pretty beast against dropships. I can tank through most forge gun shots though, no fairy flight for this guy |

I pilot dropships often, even though i hate how fragile they are, I still find flying around 30ft above a tank blasting the kitten out of it with my missile turrets, the most hilarious thing to watch in third person flight. |

I've learned you don't even need to shoot dropships down because 90% of the time these flying impact explosives kill themselves |
