They're re introducing the flight cap.
And making them slower
And weaker
And more expensive. |

I saw multiple threads earlier thanking CCP for reducing prices today. Could be trolls, but I'm posting from my phone at work and can't check on it myself. |

Price has dropped a bit. ~150-200k off for my build. So now it's only 4 games I have to play in MLT gear instead of 5, to fund one dropship.
Which wouldn't be so bad. I usually average 3-4 games or so per dropship lost. Except I average 60-80k ISK per game flying my DS. I average ~180-200k ISK in MLT assault gear spamming LAVs and grenades.
Fix that, and you'll see a lot less complaining about dropships. |

My apologies to whoever lost their Gunnlogi to my Assault DS. If you hadn't tried to rail me I wouldn't have targeted you. |

Too little, too late.
Dropships still have no mission beyond gunship and they are still PC pi+Ķatas.
I'll come back to them once CCP Blam introduces AV countermeasures, reverses the gun camera, improves the thrust to weight ratio, and starts handing out WP's. |

What exactly are you doing that's getting you almost 400k in a dropship?

God knows, I average 80-150k providing kill a load of turrets and vehicles. I've gotten over 200k once or twice I'm my best matches though. |

This sounds more like what I've seen. I've had a match or two where people dropped in lots of weak tanks, and no infantry brought out AV, so I got lots of kills. Still barely broke 200k. |

We really need more aerial vehicles than just dropships. We need true gunships that are meant to bring destruction. Hell why not let us bring in frigates or destroyers from eve, I'm sure they could maneuver just fine if they make the map area large enough. |

I don't think you get just how large frigates and destroyers are. A 747 is 70.6 meters long. Frigates are roughly 80 meters long.
Here is a little reference for just how big a 747 is. |

If you are using a gallente dropship have you tried running 15% shield resistance a 45 damage control two efficient armor reps and a armor hardener. I think you even have room for a 15% armor hardner I've ran a setup like this on a Aur dropship and I did ok i lost my dropship to careless flying thought. |

Honestly, I'm having not quite so much problems in my dropships with players who have mics and are willing to work with me. Flying my normal CRU dropship, I can generally hover around certain points as my gunners wreck every moving infantry in site.
If it starts getting hot I bug out for a few, or find some new targets who aren't sitting and waiting for me to come near.
Though this still has issues because one a few things still happen occassionally.
1) The other team is smart and knows they can lock onto me from the entire map away with their swarm launchers, and refuse to stop spamming missiles until I am more than dead
2) They know the Rail Gun will decimate my dropship into oblivion with only a few shots, and know that I'm far to slow, and far to big to get away
3) They know they have a tank fitted with a rail gun which will do the job of #2
4) The really smart ones know taking ANY placed weapon will do the job.... |
