Besides with the ceiling as high as it is you can fly up out of range easily and hide your shiny toy in the sky

I swear to god everyone that pilots a vehicle in this game is near constantly calling for infantry to rendered useless against them
Anti vehicle stuff exists, deal with it, and you dont see real world pilots going "Waaaah, RPGS designed in the 70s are still a threat to us, tell the enemy commander he needs to nerf his soldiers weapons so we cant be shot down"

All ground vehicles are getting a hp sp that and i quote" there more fun to use" buff but dropships get nothing yet again!!

i fly a prometheus and against a proto forge gun its practically paper

Amen brother, prometheus handles like a turd and gets blown up like its a piece of paper. Just BOOM down I go.

Someone was talking about "window of opertunity" or something like that and I call BS, I tried AV to see how hard it really was to blow up dropships. Honestly it was the easiest thing ever did, I wrecked dozens and feel bad abut it because I know what it's like.

So tell me, how big is a 5 second window to an AV soldier?

One day we'll look back on thisand llaugh, telling noobs about the olds days when tanks were lavs and lava were unkillable.

Lmao I'm hoping this is finally a good step in the right direction. All i can say is +1 for the original CCP getting their asses on the problem and fixing it the best way possible, complete replacement.

Millions of sp spent to be able to fly the higher tier ships, millions of isk spent to purchase ships and to deck said ships with the higher tier mods, yet zero profit for providing a mobile CRU. Pilots need to get SP, WP, and ISK for doing their jobs. They need said rewards for having their ship spawned on, for kills acquired by on board mercs, for kills acquired by mercs within say....5 seconds after ship departure, for mercs who....drop.....from the dropship, for successful capture of a point upon departure from the dropship, and for destruction of a structure upon departure from the dropship.

Dropship Feedback Yeah, what he said, because good luck finding any posts from the guy that actually works on the damn things.

Dropship Feedback I understand that those people aren't associated with dropships, CCP Blam was originally in charge of that. But seeing that he hasn't replied to any post in 2 months, and how many aren't commenting on his abscense, it's quite clear that he may have been fired. So I'm just looking for any response i can get from any CCP member as to what at all is in store for dropships. And that link you gave me was a topic by ironwolf, a CPM, not CCP Wang. And while that topic may be okay, this one is 13 pages long and basically contains a shtload of good ideas and improvements, And I'm just wanting whoever is now in charge (since we don't even know who is) of dropships, to have a look at this.

Gabriella Grey XERCORE E X T E R M I N A T U S 7	Posted - 2013.07.17 17:23:00 - [251] - Quote I understand that, and Yes it was created by a CPM but it you look a bit in the forums its in one of the threads that CCP Wang post that CCP will be discussing on ways to make Dust more enjoyable. I am all for a better dropship gaming experience for Dust, but so many are making a huge fuss about things with a lack of information on the work process. From what I understand is on another recent post, before you had posted earlier, there was talk of a dev blog and a few other things concerning vehicles in general. So just have patience. So far I think they have done a good job as Forge Gunners cant 1 shot you from their red zone etc. with the fall of range of the weapons etc. that is a huge improvement if you ask me, so just be patient., despite us dropship pilots who have been here since chromosome, when we use to fly egg shells.

But i just literally scanned all the pages of that feedback and CCP Wang literally never commented on any of it, and reading a lot of his other posts, he seems to represent the ideas of other CCP members but can't quite comment on anything personally himself. And i am also up-to-date with the recent dev blogs, including the roadmap for these monthly updates, however that roadmap is cut up into such generalities it's impossible to even know what vehicles they are even planning to help balance, and i think that the community deserves a little more clarification than that.
KING SALASI MAJOR DISTRIBUTION 130	Posted - 2013.07.17 18:08:00 - [253] - Quote No matter what CCP does this game will never be balanced. Just make it an all vehicle game. Foot soldiers are not needed turn into a mini EVE.

As a vehicle extremist i would support this 100%, but at the same time the likelihood that anything like that would happen is next to none :P

As a ADS and Logi dropship pilot user, HAV user, and sniper (all on different alts), I think that my best bet at some balanced gameplay is to just play another game until this game gets its tires back on track. There are plenty of games to play until Dust 514 reaches a point where it will be legendary (I'm an optimist about it becoming a great game, just not an optimist about the time its going to take to get there). Just AFK and get your SP for the week, play something else when you are capped out. Trust me when I say at least a solid 10% (at least) are doing quite the same thing.

Thanks for the bump, CCP needs to realize that dropship pilots have been completely left out for a long time now, and im seriously hoping for them to finally address these issues.

Again a great point about how vulnrable a dropship is to proto forge guns, even when we are using completely proto fitted modules, they take out literally 90% of my shield in my ADS Python, and then can easily land 1 more shot, even when i activate my afterburner. Redline railtank campers are also a big problem plaguing Dust that i hope they will find the common sense to fix in these upcoming patches.
