Learn to fly better.

Dude..... its a dropship. It drops people off. Use it to do what it was meant to. Just because you cant go all crazy and get scores like 20 and 0 in it doesn't mean its broken, it means that theres another vehicle for another time that will fulfill that role. Heavy assault ships will be a thing eventually, but until then you'll have to get used to your flying LAV dying.

Well it's good to know that there are many corp leaders like you who support DS pilots enough to hire them and supply them money, my corporation does the same thing for me when we are in faction warfare, and eventually planetary conquest, but when even corp leaders recognize the important role that DS pilots have, you would expect that CCP do the same exact thing and reflect an acceptance of DS pilots as vital to the battle, and good ones worthy of monetary gain while playing the game, but pilots have been arguably the most ignored and abused out of any role or class in Dust, every single veteran pilot knows that this is true, and we all have statistics and experiences that back this up. We deserve to be recognized for the important role we play.

Look overall in terms of flying the dropship and losing them has changed rather vastly, Controls are different, if you where very good in chomosome then I apologize but some of your mind set on flying does need to adjust to the newer controls and work from there.

In an overall state of dropship as both pilot and destroyer, I am finding them far more fun than frustrating to fly and a challenge to shoot down now.

This topic needs to stew a bit, people get used to the new controls and figure out what is new and isn't new.

I am very proud to see people wanting to gun in my dropships again and trying to use it help in transporting from spot a to b, their survivability is vastly superior to chromosome's, mistakes far more forgiving as well.

As for warpoints its a bigger than dropship problem it is a game wide problem that calls for its own topic just about.

I secretly cheered on the inside after seeing an assault drop-ship take out a tank.

with my fully speced assault DS played 3 games in a row and a forge 3 shot me from accross the map and I was running away and really high in the air. Maybe the assault f forge wouldn't be so OP if it wasn't so damn accurate at range.

May I point to the fact that you're not obliged to use expensive vehicles in pub matches? Those expensive vehicles are meant for decent squadplay and soon to be Planetary Conquest where it isn't important if you get tons of ISK, but just that you win.
If you want to make a profit go shoot stuff in the starter fits. That'll give you the best ISK/hour ratio.

And do you know what really rubs salt in the wound? The fact that we often get better rewards getting owned on the ground then we do doing our jobs in the air.

The one thing that the trailer folks got right is that in everyone I've seen a dropship, there one spinning out of control just about to crash.

In Dust we just say, "Don't fly."

CCP, we're still here

And we're all very *$(%ed
and very broke.
