They don't need the Devs' love. They need your love. They're quite effective when put to the purpose they were designed for: troop transport and covering fire while the mercs you unloaded recover from their landing. They are not gunships. They are not fighters. Stop forcing them into that role. Its painful to watch. If you have a CRU fitted, take your mercs to a half-way decent LZ so they can take an objective. If you need to get the point across, land. Most of us don't want to be sitting ducks and will get out on our own accord at that point.

Just my two cents. Not sure what its worth, but there it is.

Edit: After reading another thread regarding dropships, I realize not all mercs have any sense. This is one that will get out if you take me to an objective.

funny, have you specked into DS latley 0! 0! 0! WP for that idea that clearly came from an infrantry that can`t even call in a starter fit LAV, btw the 0 had zero exageration, also I got 18 rep lock ons from a DS to tank today (he wasn`t really moving...but made a total of 21 lock ons now) yet no SP for that, going in as a gunship since its fun and the only way to gain SP as of now? only vehicle kill assists, your better of in a tank, and the DS is a team role so it doesn`t go fo KDR (if it does a good job then they EARNED IT) it goes around doing work for their team and should be gaining a little more SP then a logi bro! if CCP wants stats on how the DS is being used we pilots use 40%ISH for transport (most of that is campers on rooftops) 40% gunships (experienced pilots trying to gain what ever SP they can) and 20% other (triaging is the main group of that) note thosoe all are ISHES, as in 'giver ah take', if CCP wants them to be used the way they are soppused to then tell us their will be or is a balance or they will do it, heres there easy simple and logical (for both haves) statments:

we are working to balance DropShips out. (they can +1 and say not in this build)

we are soon to announce something. (maybe they were hinting at fanfest but that wasn`t a public messege).

we don`t plan on 'balancing' the DS.

the DS is balanced in the troop transport condition but the WP is based off of distance/time from pick up to deploy and we saw no point to adding ti sooner.

There are players that can't call in a starter LAV? Follow up: You mad, bro?
