this is now the MLT dropship in areal pack

so yea no hope of this ever to come in the future..

MLT?

1700 shields on a fast stealth aircraft? That's a bit much isn't it?

militia = MLT

Just what I need, to be sitting on Overwatch for my team and suddenly a bunch of dudes pop out of nowhere behind me and take my Overwatch posistion and move down to the objective i was guarding, steal it and leave. One of the perks of tactical games is the relay of information, having a stealth dropship is a major game breaker in terms of field intelligence.

With like 2 minutes of cloak time and if people can hop on and off while cloaked, thats a VERY LONG time. You are talking about full map domination as you can maneuver multiple teams without any issue and deploy them instantly in flanking and height advantage posistions.

Sorry, cloaked dropships are broke. Please no... Even though they would be cool.

Yeah 2 minutes is a little extreme. Then again, cloak can only interrupt lock on fire and scanners, not dummy fire, but nobody really uses dummy fire on a Dropship. If we implimented Swarm Interruptors (Similar to chaff which breaks a missiles lock on a target and sends it flying out of control) I could see Aerial recon as a viable element to add to the team. You'd probably have to wait for CCP to impliment an updated command structure so Dropships can actually get WP for taxi-ing squads to objectives

how about once the ship has taken shield damage past say 90%? it cannot cloak?

Sounds like a cool idea. But right now with warpoints the way they are there would be no way to earn warpoints in this ship.
Also i would like to see some counter measures for this ship. If equiped as described it could stay cloaked the entire match without a problem.

i kinda of like this idea...


this could be used to locate and destroy enemy snipers and more specifically the thale nubs....and charge nubs...


and all the little nubs who think sniping is a great idea in general...

i just hate snipers!..

...the only thing snipers do is snipe other snipers and when there no snipers to shoot they annoy the heel out of every1 else..all they do is find hiding spots i have never thought existed...on one map its possible to camp and snipe from the ENEMY MCC!
