Id like to have a discussion about the viability of the dropship. I know there are a lot of fans of flying in this game. However, due to the missile nerf and the glass hull it has many pilots don't fly them. Not to mention the sheer agony of trying to get newberries to jump out of your ship when hovered over a capture point.
Personally, flying is one of the most rewarding things in this game but find myself not wanting to fly it for many reasons. As a community what are your thoughts.
Is it worth flying?
Not in pub matches except for the keeping the flying skills up.
Corp matches, how do they fair?
I can't say, haven't flown one in a corp match, im still training but i can see the value in it.
Is it worth going all out as some do with tanks?
Difficult to say really, but my initial answer is no, its going to get blown up by 30 militia swarms anyway.
just a few questions. Overall i carry a positive attitude towards dropships just need some CCP love.

Nice to hear some positive information coming. I can see the role of that as an ariel tank killer but outside of that? |

yes that is a pivitol roll of the dropship however, lack of knowledge astounds me in pub matches. Most newberies dont have a clue how to jump out of them even though it shows you just as you get in. I really like the idea of a mobile cru just frustrates me to have a full ship and no one jumps out when i land next to an objective. |
