As it stands there's a LAV, HAV, and "Dropship" which is technically a medium aircraft of some non attack variety.
Would you like to see some heavy aircraft, and if so what would you like it to do? Lets not be too ridiculous here. |

Perhaps a large dropship that can pick up and move an hav or a dozen dropsuits. Like a C-130 vtol. No AC-130 though, that would just suck to be on other team against.
Not needed till we have much larger maps. |

I'm imaging some lumbering behemoth that would make it easy to hit and hard to move.
perhaps a drone bay and a CRU built in.
I mention this because I see an icon for heavy air vehicles on the map legend.

maybe the heavy aircraft could provide a small AOE buff zone for ground troops. like a bubble shield repair around it |

I imagine they wouldn't be called dropships but lumped in with LAV/(MAV?)/HAVs |

Im picturing an aircraft capable of picking up heavies, (think like a missile on a wing) and the heavy is capable of shooting his weapon down into the battle. Forges- HMG's- Plasma Cannons?, all the while a logi in a bay can heal the heavies as they absorb bullets and rain death.

Heavy aircraft would be super hard to implement and balance properly. BATTLEFIELD 3 still struggles to balance their aerial combat and they have been making FPS's for over 10 years. Let CCP just focus on the simple stuff and iron out the current game play. I don't see any new vehicles on the horizon just yet |

Nope, there are also command nodes and defense relays. Or is it the other way around? Either way, there's plenty we haven't seen in the pipe. |

It had never occurred to me before that the light air vehicle may be a lot more fun, zipping around in a tiny one man craft would be rad. |

I'm pretty sure the heavy airships are going to be gunships, light airships will be fighters.

Gunships are obviously going to be the heavy unit.
But has anyone played ace combat? There was a mission in one of the games where we had to literally fight a giant flying aircraft carrier. It was so bad ads. A scenario like this would work great on a gas planet. Needless to say by then fighters and gunships would be in game. Drop ships would ferry mercs to it to blow the engines or something while fighter a act as a screen for the deposits and shoot engines from the outside |

Hows about an RDV that has 4 turrets, like the one in the concept art thread wolf posted awhile back. Being able to carry vehilces to where you want them would already be a huge bonus to having one.
It would fly in, then land and let you fly it. Plus 4 others can manage the 4 turrets, and it also be able to carry 4 other mercs aswell. plus a vehicle. |

Those heavy air vehicles could also be applying to giant drones in PVE modes. |

WARNING Slightly off topic.
I look forward to all the new types of Aircraft but I have a theory about fighters and bombers.
Last year at Fanfest they showed a graph with five pillars on the page and in this video the interviewer (wrongly I believe) said that that might mean that Dust 514 would go to PC, but the CCP staff said that they were five different IPs that CCP owns, obviously EVE, Dust and WOD that leaves two more pillars without announced IP's.
I think one of those ideas is another cross platform game, i.e. a fighter/bomber game in which you play a pilot in both EVE and DUST, imagine that! You launch from a carrier up in space dogfight with the opposing fleets fighters, then at the command from your wing leader you cross the atmosphere threshold and scream into combat in lower atmosphere operations supporting the ground pounders in DUST with air strikes and/or further dogfighting support.
Now I know what you're gonna say:
- All the many Balancing issues.
- Lack of a market for flight sims.
- Technologys simply not there.
- Nightmare of three games crossing over as opposed to two, which is a monumental task.
BUT
If anyone can make it work CCP can.
I have faith, *Puts on tin-foil hat* (Shh they're listening!) |

EVE and DUST are basically the same intellectual property.

Yeah but, Bad-ass fighter pilots, playing volley-ball on the beach saying "you can be my wing man anytime." Think about it.
Plus they aren't quite the same IP they are separate games set in the same world but they require separate copyrights.
This is the video in which they talk about it sorry should have linked in the previous post. |
