I dont really see what all the griping is about. dropship pilots havent gotten payed since open beta, i can understand thats frustrating however with good gunners and support from the ground dropships become one of the most useful tools in this game. I spent a good 3mil SP to get into my assault dropship today, and i am not disappointed. The only thing i think it could use is a little more shield (i fly caldari) as the current price tag for mine is 1.2 mil and it has less shields than a myron. Otherwise its a nice ship that fits its role well.
The flight controls are different but you have to understand that in the long run they are alot better. The dropship is much more maneuverable and can accelerate much faster due to the engines finally being able to thrust behind you, i think that all of us pilots can agree that is alot better than pointing your nose at the ground to go forward quickly! Sure it might be difficult to get use to, i know i was having some trouble my first few games. It took me back to the first time i tried to fly a dropship (crashed into a building 45 seconds in) I had a good chuckle and started to practice flying again like i did when i was first learning to fly.
Infact the only thing that i really have a problem with is the camera, the larger field of view is nice and we did need it, however it is really disorienting sometimes. I know that i am going to get use to this but i wouldnt mind having an option to have the camera closer like in the old build.
Logi dropships are not meant to be fighting, thats why there is logi and assault. Im sure you can figure out what role the LOGI dropship is meant to be used for :)
Dedicated Pilots are a rare breed in this universe. Its up to us to assist CCP into building a dropship thats fun, useful, and rewarding to both pilots and ground troops. Most of what you have said in this thread is just moaning and carrying on and not understanding why they did what they did. Pilots mostly fly because they love flying or they love dropships, please help us to give good feedback and discussion to CCP's ears and eyes, not just Well yet again.....WTF. |
