The controls are perfectly fine, sans front-turret control. |

If you can borrow one from a friend I encourage you to try ir yourself. The turret cannot be aimed in first person but is fixed to the ship. In third you can aim down about 60 degrees. Not right or left. The problem though is that the camera, tied to your turret aiming dot, is constantly and forcibly reset upward. If you want to aim down you both have to shoot at target you cannot see through your own ship but also must maintain a steady semi pressure down on the control sticm to hold scope in place. Impossible to hold still |

I'm not in it for the rewards, sorry. I don't care about the WP. And aircraft, as I stated, are not built to be flying tanks. That's what tanks are for. I had a shield booster and an armour repper, and dual resistance plates on mine and it took a lot of firepower. No CRU though, that's probably why no one was spawning. So I made a new one with a CRU. But I speed tanked it instead, and I've been dodging so many missiles it's almost funny :p Doesn't need HP if you can avoid getting hit. I will have to try the turret controls, though. I'll get to it.
Sure you can fly around all day and maybe not get killed but what are you contributing then |

That's the thing about why they shouldn't be made of 1-ply TP |

This is an exaggeration, simple. For the last time, they are not meant to be tanks. They are MEANT to be fragile. They are MEANT to be easy to kill, but HARD to hit with a good pilot
I'm not so sure they're "Meant" to be anything. There's what they are now, and then there's what they should be to increase game balance, variety, and fun.
A DS cannot preform a single function if there exist weapons in the game which obliterate it instantly the moment it stops moving (and in many cases while it's moving). |

Agno`
I think hovering is fine. No need to make it easy mode. PS heavier and slower ships are easier to hover. I notice a huge difference between ADS vs others |

Isn't there also a bug with people not being able to spawn in to DS half the time, and sometimes not at all if it's flying too high? |
