"A dropship is a fictional transport vehicle featured frequently in science fiction, in particular military science fiction and space opera genres. A dropship is a common fictional spacecraft archetype, generally depicted as designed to DELIVER TROOPS and equipment onto a planetary surface."

The dropship is a two-engine VTOL craft that combines advances in shielded hardware, redundant software protocols, and networked aeronautics into a heavily armored tactical platform capable of insertion and extraction in even the most hostile situations. Its standard five-man carrying capacity, dual hardpoints, and reinforced plating allow it to operate independently in any situation, alternately tracking and engaging enemy targets and ferrying troops into and out of harm's way. The Logistics class is the ultimate troop transport. A vehicle that, thanks to its on-board Clone Reactivation Unit (CRU), redefines the notion of frontline troop insertion.

Dropships are TROOP TRANSPORT. Not tank destroyers. Buddy of mine spawned in a proto tank for me, I go on top of a hill. And then the dropship comes. Takes me out in less than 5 seconds. The tank can't aim up at it, and is too slow to run away. Serious BS CCP. This is coming from a dropship pilot. It's just too overpowered. A pilot should not be able to shoot unless he lands the dropship and switches to the gunner's seat. Leave tank killing to the fighter's and the AV people. Don't give a dropship a gun that can kill anything in miliseconds.

And have you looked at the cost of a full proto-tank? The tankers pay serious bank to get into one of those, and sp. It's a dropship, that's all you're supposed to do, troop transport.

They wrecked with good gunners. Either take the gun away, or make it have no gunners seats. It killed me in 5 seconds. That's like 200 damage per shot or 2500 RPM. Yes, it is overpowered, and guess what? In America there's this thing called freedom of speech. I'm using it now. I don't care if you troll me, I think it's over powered and that's my opinion so kiss my a**.

Yeah, that means the gunners seat. Not a fully automatic death cannon that can take out anything in miliseconds.

Assault dropships take more like 50+ seconds to kill a tank if all shots are placed well and if tank is built well. Oh you're mature, you can call someone an idiot. My feelings are so hurt. I'm going to go cry in a corner. Yeah, I hope they do nerf them. It would be awesome. What you people don't get is that I'm a dropship pilot. I don't want the things to have guns. I use them for what they are for. Pick my troops up, take them to an objective, drop them off, provide recon and enemy locations, or if i have a gunner, fire support. I'm not a fan of one dropship getting 40-50 kills solo. Remove the gun, remove gunners seats, buff it's shields/armor by a sh*tload, and give points for dropping troops off. That would be a real assault dropship.

I did NOT use any repair modules, but the tank had a massive amount of shield. I'll ask my friend when he gets on how much exactly it had because I don't remember.
