This is just something I am putting out that i beleive is a characteristic of decent Pilots. I welcome all ideas of fellow pilots.
1. Respects the vehicle he/she is flying
2. Fulfills a support role of a Dropship (strategic mobile CRU, tanking)
3. Doesn't suicide bomb unless the other Dropship is being cowardly
This is just the start of my list. This is not saying you must follow these, they are not rules, but they are just nice qualities to have in a pilot. I am open to suggestions like i said earlier, and i will check this post as often as possible.(good ideas will be added to my list) |

dropships are pointless, they dont do **** and i can blow one up in under 20 seconds, they are worthless overpriced pieces of SHlT that ccp thinks are well balanced and good on the battle field... |

I never sucide, especcily in an A2A, I go down fighting, loopy looping my way around missles while giving my gunners their shots at luanching plasma, there was an epic me vs 3 DS the other day, they all went down but as did I when an FG hit me and I changed my volocity into a tower. (volicty, speed with direction).
anyhow, the DS are balanced in damage and HP wise >>BUT<< THEY ARE NOT BALANCED when it comes to WP that a DS can gain, its completly unfare at the time and I hope CCP fixes soon, each updaet they don`t I will bump my balance DS threads and make a new 1. |

They are balanced in HP and getting damaged if you make it a tanking dropship only. unless you have all kinds of armor on it they can go down with starter fit forge guns hitting you once. Not balanced in HP |

my quote on your quote glitched so i undlined your quote here.
I was saying HP wise they are balanced, everything about the DS is understandably ballance but the WP to SP gain, as a logi/ supporting vehicle its soppused to gain lots of WP if used correctly and in all ways usable to doesn`t gain any SP/WP for stuff it should (like transport and triage). |

I would think we are goping extinct, more and more tankers are leaving the HAVs behind, so the pilots are problyu going faster since the DS is inbalanced (or more inbalanced, depending your opinion). what CCP needs to stop ignoring is the fact that DSes don`t get the deserved ammount of SP for their actions, sure its fare on the gunship role but the triage DS and transport DS don`t get anything and they deserve ALOT more. |

I think collision damage is too high. But thats probably because I run a Shield DS. When I scrape off a mountain it shouldn't make me burst into flames 
Also, the invisible walls in the sky need to be removed I keep crashing into them  |

yea the collision is the other thing, a simple love tap means an inferno and you get - WP, also I`ve noticed alot of thoose invo walls on the higher locations were not many infrantry are.
Also I`ll have to show you a speciel thing witht he collision, I`m still practicing but if I can get enough proof of it I can report it back here, but its pretty much a rhino tactic where the other pilot dies while you fly by, I did it once and I think I found out how while doing backflips. |

I disagree with all 3.
1. It's just a tool. If I need to "disrespect" that tool to achieve a larger goal, I'll do it.
2. Mobile CRU is a terrible use of a dropship. If you're playing with corp mates you can pick then up at spawn in a few seconds, and if you're playing with blueberries you don't want them spawning on you anyway. A mobile CRU is a sign of a bad pilot most of the time.
3. See my response to 1. |

Then you aren't a pilot. If you don't pilot a Dropship, and you just quickly use it then you don't even technically pilot it, you just fly it. Also, mobile CRU has it's downpoints but just "picking them up at spawn" isn't always so easy. It is 100% easier to hit a target that is perfectly still than one that is going full speed. Point wise (currently) mobile CRU isn't worth it, but if you are trying to win it changes the tide of the battle. A Dropship is not a tool, the repair tool that my Logi uses is a tool. |

I almost guarantee you I've spent more time flying a dropship than you've probably spent playing Dust 514. If you think picking people up at a spawn isn't a piece of cake, I don't know what to tell you. You fly in, buzz their heads, they hit O and you head out. Takes half a second. Even hard landing is fairly easy, just gotta get your angle right and you can hit the floor surprisingly hard without popping.
We will just have to disagree about whether a drop ship is a "tool" or not. IMO, every piece of gear in the game is a tool. Dropships, repair tools, HAVs, Type II heavy suit, etc, etc. They are all tools. |

landing in safe ground is very easy, but landing in a hotzone is much harder because of turrets and stuff. You aren't taking any risk while in safeground. but a mobile CRU speeds things up a bit more, all we need is a "everybody drop out" signal light or an eject passengers button. |
