Shouper of BHD Better Hide R Die 87	Posted - 2013.05.07 04:06:00 - [1] - Quote I thought us pilots can talk here and where we have trouble we can seek advice then go to feedback, I thought it would be a good idea since we can keep short term/ people who have done little play tie from the feedback section and to verify their thoughts incase they missed something, and pilot related topic (as in aerial pilot, not driver) please express and I`ll respond actively along with other dedicated pilots, also if you need help flying a DS, learning strategy's and how to spec correctly in a DS go ahead and ask, if I get a lot of reply's asking for that sort of help I`ll make a training thread about piloting. so to the mighty Python,(and Incumbus) it really does its work when using the proto cycled missile launchers, the accelerator are fine but the cycled are the best turret choice, its also simple to spec into. when I fire on infantry they are all like "RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY" (+1 to the first guy/girl to get the reference in this paragraph) its also effective against tanks even more so since your not relying no gunners, they can be better but only if you have them. The Cycled missile launcher also helps practice your aiming and gives you time to get used to the A DS (Assault DS). I`ve destroyed 2 tanks, 4 tank kill assists (should have been mine...) and 2 DS kills, 1 was A2A and the first person view works very well in A2A, but I advice third person view in A2G (note, the camera is a bit different), and I got 20ish infantry kills so far, a pilot can have a reasonable KDR in the long wait till the deserved WP gain... coming soon. I feel sorry for gallante pilots since Nanofiber armor modules were taken way (allowed less speed reduction while giving you HP), so they are stuck with speed reducer HP modules. In addition the STD and ADV logi DS got a "heavier feel" so the gallante guys are in a really bad position, its saddening. something to note is the flight ceiling for A DSes is broken so enjoy the escape route, and use it sicne the market is also broken, the DS is 2x the cost its should be in this build. skills are reasonable to get, my skill sheet isn`t perfect in my eyes but I got my mandatory and more from 7.6 mill SP.

Skihids The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 1245	Posted - 2013.05.07 04:24:00 - [4] - Quote I've already got a Dropship Flight School thread in the Rookie Taining section. I am in the process of rewriting it for Uprising and should be posting the update this weekend, but the section on flight physics and initial training is still valid. So far I prefer the Fragmented ML, but I haven't played enough to make up my mind yet. I have noticed that the ADS pilot doesn't tend to give his gunners a steady ship to aim from because they are busy trying to get shots of their own.

I haven't tried that 1 out but sure will, doubt I will care to try rail guns but blasters sure. yea the A DS is very unstable, but in a few days I think we will get the hang of it.
gbghg L.O.T.I.S. RISE of LEGION 1455	Posted - 2013.05.07 11:06:00 - [6] - Quote I tried a railgun fit, just used a random rail turret, proto compressed I think. Didn't like it, reticule is too hard to aim with. Proto cycled missiles are what I'm using tight now though I plan to try a blaster and fragmented missile fit at done point. Also I read the flight ceiling at 500 metres, can someone else confirm this?
steadyhand amarr The Red Apple 475	Posted - 2013.05.07 11:11:00 - [7] - Quote You guys seem to be having a far easer time flying the dam things too iv seen some of u pull off insanse stunts in them :-P
gbghg L.O.T.I.S. RISE of LEGION 1455	Posted - 2013.05.07 11:13:00 - [8] - Quote New flight ceiling, our safety margin just increased massively
Tiluvo Digital Mercs 62	Posted - 2013.05.07 11:14:00 - [9] - Quote Is there really a DS pilot saying the flight ceiling is too high!? As a foot logi, I don't care how high you go; as long as you're not in range to shoot me.
A'Real Fury D.A.R.K L.E.G.I.O.N D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 49	Posted - 2013.05.07 11:15:00 - [10] - Quote Hi, I have been a Logi since open beta, when I started playing Dust, but I haven't respec'd my sp from Uprising yet. I have about 8.4 mil, and if I wanted to go into Dropships particularly the one with the pilot gun what skills should I select, to what level and which racial variant is best? Thanks for your assistance.

K9 Wez The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 12	Posted - 2013.05.07 11:23:00 - [11] - Quote 20ish kills with the ADS huh? Video proof or it didn't happen!
Knight SoIaire Better Hide R Die 273	Posted - 2013.05.07 11:24:00 - [12] - Quote I dont think you can go as far into the enemy redline on Skirm, need someone to confirm this, never really tried it last build because there was not much point.
Medic 1879 The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 220	Posted - 2013.05.07 11:30:00 - [13] - Quote You guys get wp for anything other than kills and assists yet?
gbghg L.O.T.I.S. RISE of LEGION 1455	Posted - 2013.05.07 12:19:00 - [14] - Quote Nope dropship rewards are as they were in chromosome. The redline seems to be the same now for bith infantry and ships, can't confirm because I haven't tested it out on foot, and it's 2.5 mil sp just to unlock the assault ship, 6 mil sp and I've not invested enough for me to be comfortable with my skills.
Jammer JAMS Department of Defence Planetary Response Force Eternal Syndicate 2	Posted - 2013.05.07 12:26:00 - [15] - Quote To be Honest about a lot of things I have played eve since 2007 This patch was quite a let down There is a lot of shiny new things in this patch here is a list of things done right and wrong please add to it people so CPP get the message Things done right. 6 person squad Voice on all channels Shiny new colors Working on Re balance Things to fix New spawn Menu should have used same keys X to select default and x to start like always Re Balance is messed up you have Nerfed all the weapons way to much there should have been some done to Laser, Sniper, Maybe a little less damage on a heavy and Forge Gun The suit fittings are all messed up now as far as PG/ CPU You have taken away what we had before and not replaced it with skills Changing all the skills was a bad Idea now most people have chosen skills that do not relate or work The HUD does not work well can't see who needs a medic Medics needles don't work anymore Nano-hive is useless now Way to little ammo Logistics can't re-spec to a use full medic A lot of the default suit fitting are fit wrong and don't give you what is needed to be a default player in that role Players are getting stuck, Map is freezing. When you die get rid of the screen that shows you who killed you you want to see what is going on. You have messed with the core of what DUST was. All you had to do was some balancing and new shinny stuff. There is probably a lot that I have not seen yet so please add to it people. In a nice way to get it fixed a list of what you like and what needs to be fixed Jammer JAMS

Thanks for your assistance. We are still working all that out and I'll have hard numbers for you later tonight if you can wait. I favor shield tanking for speed and agility and therefore fly Caldari, but you can decide for yourself. Like any profession you should try it before you sink all your points into it. Buy a militia ship and follow my Flight School guide to learn the basics of flying. You will want to use militia ships for training regardless of what you can fly, even I still play with them on occasion because they are cheap. I have yet to check out all the maps, but it seems that they have all been flattened to the point that your spawn is vulnerable to turret installations. Therefore I am now recommending you spawn with the starter anti-armor fit and take them all out before you call in your bird. You only have to get the ones on your side if you are going to stay in your red zone. Hop in a free LAV and kill them quickly while they are still neutral. Nobody guards them in public matches and they are liable to get hacked at any time so they must go first. You can send your ship back to inventory now, so feel free to put it away if you get redlined and the enemy fire makes practice difficult.

Well that sucks.

Thanks for your assistance. I was a dropship pilot from Jan. 22 to now, and I think I lost like 10m ISK in ADS's last night... Soooo if you haven't been a dropship pilot before, be prepared to lose a heck of a lot more.
