It was in the lastest patch, the most noticable thing is the lack of pulses, before you would get a speed boost then you would seem to slow down then you would get another speed boost and so on. Now it's just one continuous slow burn |

It was better the way it was before and you had a noticeable increase as well |

The way it was before was too good, an instant "Get Out of Jail Free" card. I've both flied afterburner dropships and attempted taking them down, so no bias here. The current state does seem to be an overcorrection though. |

cannot tell the difference between AB on or off now... another awesome job CCP.. real fukn nice.
dropships is mothballed again- absolutely no reason to fly it now.
correction: you get to see the wind blowing past you still as you fly at normal speed |

It was the only real advantage dropships had, yes it was incredibly annoying when you were trying to shoot them down but it was part of the challenge, you had to time it so he couldn't use afterburners and try to get in a position so even if a your swarms didn't hit your team mates did. |

Yea, its pretty stupid.
The one thing hardly anyone was complaining about and they nerf it.
Even if it was aimed at tanks, tanks have a seperate module, ground vehicles have Nitrous and air vehicles have Afterburners.
So, why CCP? Why?
Why nerf dropships which clearly needed a buff?
Please, CCP, I'd really like to hear your answer to this, I bet its hilarious. |

So when they buff dropships back to being 50% as effective as they were, people will rejoice and be content with the latest "buff"? Presumably ignoring the fact that they are still worthless vehicles. Well, worthless at the cost of a million a piece.

I want to like piloting I really do. I find the flying bricks endearing, to bad CCP doesn't. I am kind of thankful I did not waste to much SP, only got to vehicle 2. Though part of me is tempted to do it anyway (last thing I get of course) just in case they make things fun to fly.
Why field any kind of dropship during any match (pub or corp) being so weak? They offer no advantage that the LAV and HAV can't be used together to achieve. Suppression fire from the tank while using the LAV to get a small group from point A to B. Both cheaper and "easier" to operate.
If Trion made the driving system of Defiance like CCP made for Dust I am going to be very upset. |

Maps are too small and dropships too vulnerable right now to be truly useful, their only use right now is for getting snipers to high points, spotting enemy movement, hunting down snipers if you have a gunner and AV isn't that bad and providing a tempting target to get the enemy to switch to AV |
