"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.

Fiasco Llana SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 256	Posted - 2013.05.18 14:58:00 - [1] - Quote I think so. No dropship should have a gun that the pilot can shoot in the air. It's insanely OP V.S. tanks. 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.

Skihids The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 1371	Posted - 2013.05.18 15:03:00 - [5] - Quote DUST does't need troop transport. The sole challenge in the game is how to put maximum DPS on your target. As such pounding you with missiles is fair whether it's the pilot or his two side gunners. It's also fair to hit you with a jeep on the ground. Players are using the game assets creatively to solve the only problem we have, how to kill you.

As someone who can consistently outrun swarms in an ADS, I'll just say this, swarms won't do jackshit against fighters, they won't even be able to hit them.

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**.

What sort of hardeners where you running and did you even activate your reppers? What turret was the pilot using?

Yeah, that means the gunners seat. Not a fully automatic death cannon that can take out anything in miliseconds.
Cody Sietz The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 118	Posted - 2013.05.18 15:49:00 - [24] - Quote Hmmm, I seem to remember being shot out of the sky when I was only transporting troops. Even when I was red line flying to leard the controls, some guy with a railgun tank or a forge gunner would come aand shoot me outta the sky. Edit:also, in the book templar 1, the dropships have 3 under mounted guns.
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 3082	Posted - 2013.05.18 15:57:00 - [25] - Quote I literally can't fly, but I run a tank on one of my alts. And I think whoever built that tank is an idiot. There are a few possible explanations: 1. It was an armour tank, and the Dropship was an all-missile fitting with both side guns manned, and everyone was hitting the tank all at once. And the driver forgot/failed to keep his resists up. 2. It was a really, REALLY well-fitted Dropship with all 3 guns hitting the tank at once, AND the tank was badly fitted. 3. The tank was fitted so badly you have no business claiming it's not a Militia tank. 4. You're lying and it was a Militia tank. 5. You didn't realise there was a Forge Gunner shooting you at the same time. You DO NOT get Dropships killing tanks that easily. You certainly don't get high-tier tanks that die like you described even against Assault Dropships. Also, if you're a competent tanker, you should know how to tilt the tank and get an angle to fire up, or switch into the top gun which can aim up, and knock the Dropship into a position where you can hit it. They're not only really fragile, but also lighter than other Dropships, and therefore more vulnerable to being shaken about and pushed into targeting range. Maybe try not soloing against a 3-person squad?

Alan-Ibn-Xuan Al-Alasabe Planetary Response Organisation 302	Posted - 2013.05.18 15:59:00 - [27] - Quote I'm gonna go ahead and call BS on OP's assessment of events. I've done enough flying in an assault DS with proto turret to know that no HAV is going down in five seconds to that thing, not even with all three turrets firing. Either you're making stuff up or you were under fire from multiple sources.
Caeli SineDeo Imperfects Negative-Feedback 480	Posted - 2013.05.18 16:01:00 - [28] - Quote Sad thing is CCP will listen to this idiot. Assault dropships take more like 50+ seconds to kill a tank if all shots are placed well and if tank is built well.
Skihids The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 1376	Posted - 2013.05.18 16:02:00 - [29] - Quote We are talking about a small missile turret that someone can fit on a LAV here... The XT-1 Accelerated Missile Launcher has a direct damage of 455 and a fire interval of 1.6 seconds. So in five seconds it can do a maximum damage of 1,365 HP. If your tank had that little eHP it deserved to die. The XT-1 Cycled Missile Launcher is a little harder to figure. It is listed as 250.2 HP firing as a single burst wit a 0.4s interval. Based on experience I know it has a three missile burst, and let's give each of those three missiles the full 250.2 HP. That gives us 750.6 HP per burst. The burst itself takes enough time that it can get only two bursts off in five seconds. That gives it 1,500 in five seconds. Again, if your super tank died to that it sucks.
DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 3101	Posted - 2013.05.18 16:03:00 - [30] - Quote You don't even need the forward turret, just hover in your logi ship above them and let your gunner go to town. Just tears here, nothing to see folks.
