Please CCP Cmdr Wang

Consider doing something for the dropships aiming and hp as well.

Personally I would like the dropship to have a neutral hovering position when you let go of the left trigger so instead of the ship slightly moving its just still, that would do worlds for the aiming capabilities imo.

If they implement this, it needs to be something that can be toggled on and off with a binding on the controller. The skilled pilots out there would rage if this was a mandatory feature.

How long would it take you all to program in 25 WP per spawn on MCRU with some kind of cooldown (like remote reps have) or just straight 10 points per spawn with no cooldown? It's been over a year, and you sit here saying you want more engaging vehicle combat, yet you continuously leave us dropship pilots in the dark.

Nah it wouldn't effect the "skilled" players since you'll have to let go of the left trigger for the neutral hovering to take place. Any DS pilot knows right now if you let go of the left trigger there is no telling where you will end up.

So....why the hell did you guys suddenly thought tankers need cpu reduction on pg upgrades. We need PG.
I have vehicle engineering on level 5, 621k sp in total. Level 5 was completely unnecessary....

Please stop changing the damn descriptions of stuff without giving us a refund. This is the second time i got punished by YOUR errors CCP. First with the shield extenders and now with the PG.

Please change the skill so it gives +5% pg for every level. We tankers need the PG.

Going to say this is a bad Idea CCP. Reasons to follow.

First off this will only in the end boost armor vehicles. This will make armor the king of vehicles. Why do I say this. They can skip fitting plates that only give them 3128. But this new 25% buff will actually kind of cover that allowing them to use reppers that give them a total of 6210 hp back.

Looking at shield we have only 2185 for the best extender. The best booster only gives 1640 back on shield HP. The Passive regen is a joke. The passive regen boosting modules are a joke.

You are lowering the powergrid and cpu on vehicles because you want to restrict fittings so people have to make more of a choice.

So what you should be doing is boosting modules and reworking them. This will make you strong in what you fit. Make tanking vehicles easier. This is where the problem lies is the modules.

You also need to make passive regen better. So the modules where not a joke.

I would definitely like an explanation as to why dropships aren't involved in this.....

I am a dropship pilot. please please for the love of CCP and all that is dusty also give dropships some hp! 1,491,420 isk to get shot down by 1 shot from a tank?! and forges can 2 shot us. either that or make the dropships more maneuverable because i dont think i can keep up with this....

WeGÇÖve also resolved an issue where players were able to exploit Armored Assault Pack HAVs because of their large PG reserve to out-tank other players in battle. These fits have been changed to reduce PG and CPU, as well as swap out the Heavy Armor repair on the Creodron Breach HAV for a light Armor Repair unit. Planned for today's hotfix.


CCP Blam!

Exploit?!?!?! If PG was an issue, you should have pulled the pack from the market long ago and reissued it with a different version. The original versions would have been lost via attrition. This bait and switch is not cool, CCP. I bought at least 5 of those Armor Packs over a month ago that are now worthless... Light repper, seriously?!?!?! The AUR tanks are better then the Armor ones... And I can get 66 AUR tanks for what I paid for 40 of the Armor Pack ones.

+1 For some Dropship love. If Swarms are being given a buff in damage, we are going to need it.

I love that you're addressing this and being forthcoming with us, but it's getting pretty ridiculous that you just continuously ignore us when even such a tiny simple change like this would help us tremendously.

Oh...and no added survivability to dropships?

O.o

You guys freaking hate us, don't you? That has to be it.

Sooooo AV weapons are getting a buff and my python (which costs a million ISK total btw) is getting no HP buff (which it really should seeing how dropships are the singlemost vulnerable vehicle due to the fact that everyone can see us), but free militia LAV's (which don't require a penny of sp or ISK) are?

something is very wrong in that decision making process. my only conclusion is that you have something planned for us dropships, either that or you've decided that dropships shouldn't be a viable role. Or your expecting us to adapt to the usual SNAFU situation we pilots found ourselves in and carry on as normal. Now frankly I've only been flying since January and I've had enough of that, imagine how many of the closed beta pilots feel.

The changes in uprising such as raising of the flight ceiling and new handling were a step in the right direction so thank you for that, but dropships are still missing some very basic and neccasary things like a lock on warning system and countermeasures.
