is there any plans to fix this travesty? just rename it EGG because that's what it's ground/landed physics are. |

Lol. The main problem is once it does get on it's side (however, could be RDV tard or landing, rolling, getting stuck) Then there is nothing you can do to move.
So all that those thruster and reverse thrusters won't even move you along the ground when you're on the side. You just sit there despite 100% of control input. That's fail |

it gets put 45 degrees to it's side, so you can thrust it along the ground until it collides with w/e.. even on level ground it still has a tendiecy to roll to the left.
it sickening that the myron lands so solid but stands ZERO chance vs Forge gun, the grimness at least stands a %5 chance vs forge gun, that is if it doesnt roll over before take off. |

No what I'm saying is if it gets stuck Totally on one side. Then there is literally zero things you can do, it like refuses to move under any controls.
Try it sometime, its fun! |

That's nasty, what's even nastier is when you get a squadmate try to roll you back upright with an LAV just to have both of you die in a fireball due to explosive paint. |

Actually just had this happen yesterday. After the third RDV disaster calling in from typically safe spots, this was the first ship that 'lived'.
Except it was upside down. Managed to get in a LAV, and turn it over, except as gently as I was doing this the moment before it rolled on it's little egg belly to an upright position it spontaneously took 95% damage. Then one guy across the map with a laser rifle finished it off. Lol. I was already inside turning on reppers :( |

Yeah, when it happened to me I got stuck on a edge of a roof, so I said to my squadmate "if you get an LAV and nudge me I can roll off" he obliged but he hit me too hard, end result was BOOM!!!!! :( |

From experience I knew not to try that, so I maintained contact and slowly pushed the ship down a slight hill to roll it.
I guess there was too much friction at some point and sparked the explosive paint though. |

appearenlty not many of you have done DS surgeary, just get a LAV and nudge it, again YOU GET A LAV, its your UP ISK right their and most people will blow it up as me, Screwston (that 1 was a tank though) gbh and sevral others have learned the hard way of the pilot guiding it in... doesn`t work out well for us :(
a little better landing gear is in arrange though yea.
1 time my DS crashed landed behind the eneamys fihsbowl and quick reaction with eject and repait tools saved my caldari ship, but it was sideways, so we reanacted Black hawk down and after a few minutes we lost and they hacked, then we rescecured it, did DS surgery and flew off giving butt hurt again.....then the FG came along *shutters* it toor down what ever pride we had from the moment before as our majestic eagle crashed and burned inot peices  |

That's gallentean design for you. They probably didn't even consider static landing gear as that would've screwed up the exterior design.
I've only ever rolled one dropship. Since then I try to jump in before it tilts too much to the side and immediately take off to stabilize the DS. But be careful not to apply too much thrust as the RDV may take a minute to actually leave.
Forgeguns aren't much of an issue. Yesterday I tanked three consecutive forgegunshots with my Grimsnes. And earlier that day I survived a hit from a railgun hit that dealt about 5500 ehp in one shot. What it lacks in landing gear it more than makes up for in tanking ability.
Looking forward to May 9th. |
