Even with the problems with dropships, there are some very clutch pilots out there dedicated enough to maintain air superiority. Just a couple of days ago, my squad was getting their you know whats handed to them in Manus Peak but a logistics dropship kept us in the game, dropping us off at B while the gunners gave covering fire. This particular ship was fitted with an active scanner, which was a huge help with pointing our targets as they flowed in from their base.
Like tanks, you need infantry support to take out pesky forge gunners and swarmers while keeping control of the maps turrets or just destroying them. But like everything this build, you really have to work for it more. What they really need is a larger PG like all the vehicles, a minor HP buff and better handling or ECM modules to counter missiles. A significant price drop would be helpful too. |

Been checking the older thread, CCPs response was ages ago before uprising. Like the price reduction, they said things would happen and then nothing. Can we at least get an explanation as to why they are like this? |

It's more than a year that dropships pilots tell ccp dropships need love.
I gave up, CCP simply doesen't give a **** about dropships.

needlessly difficult to fly
extremely fragile even when skilled into
not a very clear battlefield purpose
WHY ARE THEY SO HARD TO FLY, IT MAKES NO SENSE |

CCP really needs to update us on the situation here. It's been way too long since we heard anything on the matter, and it's really concerning for us pilots. |

Dropships are too expensive for what they do and they don't do enough for what they cost. I expect a hotfix on wednesday. Thanks. |

Haha, dream on. Dropship improvements have been requested since before open beta, and what do we get? An assault variant, that is still as fragile as the other dropships, if not more.
It's like CCP refuses to award wp for anything but killing. Logi players can't revive properly, active scanners, remote vehicle reppers, counterhacks and mcru's yield no points... What gives? |

I still have fun with Dropships, but I agree, something needs to be done. I still have hope that something big will come and we will have our phase like the LAV drivers before everyone else starts asking for a nerf. lol |

RDVs are stupid and make this game stupid.
I'm tired of them spawning inside of me and costing 1.5 million when I'm playing at my best. There is nothing that stops this and given how frequently I'm in the air, its causing me to go broke. Once I can't afford to fly, I won't be playing dust anymore and reserves are dwindling quickly. |

We've asked for a balanced set of roles for the dropship and all we got was one more useless turret.
We asked again and we are promised a bomber variant.
All CCP knows how to reward is killing. |

Simply give commission for actions from players that have dropped within the last 20 seconds. Then it could fit the role of a "hot dropper" |

It feels like they were added as an afterthought which is a shame cause they're so fun. We need a major buff and a price drop as was promised.The reduction in sp from 8x to 4x was a good start but not enough. I fear ds pilots will become a rare breed after the optional respec.
Assault dropships are very useful, and I know quite a few people that are choosing to respec fully into them. But the Logistics and the Normal are a waste since an assault can do everything except holds two less passengers. |

This could include if they hack an objective you get the bonus like you helped hack half way. |

The ADS is actually quite useful, in something like PC it can mean you have an effective scout/harassment unit while only losing 1 person from the ground squads, my CEO is quite sold on how useful they can be. |

Logi LAV can do the same thing better, with other advantages. |

More. ******* slash them to 25%.
This. Then start buffing them in various ways including more different WP gains for pilots until people start crying that they're OP. Because right now they're so UP, it's just not funny.

I just see Dropships as Anti-sniper platforms, mobile spawn points and a way to get snipers into awesome spots.
Honestly, anyone who doesn't use a dropship to put a bunch of mercs on the high ground is silly. I've seen utterly one sided games from putting spawn points where the other team can't get them above objectives. |

Hot dropper sounds like the after effects of a bad curry

On a serious note the bola that brings your drop ship in is a light Arial vehicle so why cant you dropship that is in the same category take as much damage :/

I woulden't mind if they were actually flyable...I see people hitting buildings, and mountains and everything else, I even tryed myself 3 times, and they are horrible, even worse than a helicopter on GTA....If the flight issues get fixed, I bet these could be really useful. |
