The thing can already fly. Why have the option to spawn in it and drop down from the atmosphere or MCC or whatever.

This would also make more sense when bombers and fighters come along because when people are engaged in a real land battle it's not like the enemy ships in all their air vehicles to take off a quarter mile away. They fly in from far off, surprising everyone and wrecking things.

I do understand why dropships are brought in by RDV but i think your tright about the fighters when they brought in there has to be a different way to launch them. possible you have to go to a supply depot or an extraction point / MCC and from there your clone is stored safely (no loss of clones)

you are then loaded into a clone that is at the hanger bay on the ground out side the battlezone from where you launch the fighters

Or the fighters are dispatched from a side hatch within the MCC which is accessed via a door in the dropbay that we have access to currently, you can only gain access to the hanger bay if you have a fighter in your inventory this stops players camping the hanger trying to steal aircraft like we have in games like battlefield. the aircraft is then launched out and your ready to go



p.s. I want fighters now please :D

The thing is also that tanks and drop-ships are constructed on demand so its likely the RDV was 'married' to the vehicle before being dropped on demand as part of the factory process.

The real annoyance is how you can't really call anything in without the entire enemy team knowing what it is. I want to call in a dropship to sneak attack the enemy team, but my RDV decides to fly right over the red dots like HEY LOOK WHAT I GOT GUIZE :3

unpiloted, say goodbye after 2 forge gun shots.

maybe 3 if you get inside. Or they could just nuke down the rdv while it hovers around aimlessly. FUN

If I'm in a game where we are redlining them and I have an orbital, I'll wait until someone calls something in and drop it on the RDV as it drops the vehicle off. I usually at least get a kill and I get the bolas as well as whatever it was carrying. I can only imagine how annoy that must be on the other side, damn easy to spot RDVs!

What if you could
A) Deploy it like a regular sucker
or
B) Spawn in it, but have no weapons so if you bail you better find a depot

Dropships have no AI installed.

Recreational destruction vehicles have ai?

Ooooooooo 'added instructions' - fly to general location, smash into nearest object, try to comically land on someone/something/toss what was ordered upside down and a mile away

Dropships still have some work being done on them

What if you could
A) Deploy it like a regular sucker
or
B) Spawn in it, but have no weapons so if you bail you better find a depot

Or C) Have a Pilot Suit (when introduced) set as your favourite.

Sounds like a good advantage for those suits to have, no?

Make a dropsuit part of each vehicle's fitting, that way you're wearing it when you deploy with the vehicle.
