...will just add to what has already been said. If you are on the fence regarding specing into DS, read the warnings in this tread carefully. I got out with the respec and don't regret leaving.
I was in a game recently where multiple DS were shot down b/c someone called in a rail tank on top of one of the buildings. Millions of isk just going down in flames...and one of them had a moble cru...clone after clone dead.
For me the game is a little better now that I don't end the games in a loss isk wise and have to deal with the DS frustrations. I also seem to help my squad more with hacks, kills, etc... |

I honestly have only had a good fight thus so far with you in our dropship battles, haven't really seen anyone else up to par on our level but yes, I agree... a tournament of pilots would be interesting. |

Hmm I see 2 methods for doing this, we can either q sync through an in game chat channel or someone can try to arrange a PC battle, which seems unlikely and impractical in the extreme. Alternatively we could just wait for the arena mode to finally arrive and just shoot each other when we run into each other in pubs. |

Thanks for indulging me in that, it was fun, despite the fact that we could probably have lasted an entire skirmish match like that. Most of the dog fights I have ate unsatisfactory, the pilots are either inexperienced or bad, have terrible fits, (and this is the annoying one) have a strange tendency to fly into things and either be killed by the collision or left in such a state that they couldn't offer any fight. |

(BTW IF YOU WANT TO LEARN TO FLY ILL TEACH YOU FREE OF CHARGE JUST ASK) (BRING YOUR OWN VIPERS FOR THE CLASS) First of all I am dropships king. Second of all as you said dropships are severly broken currently. I am actually working on a ton of vehicle feedback and may have a chance to talk to CCP Blam. It would be nice to get your input. I got a few vehicle experts on a board with me who want to improve both vehicle gameplay and AV. |

I'm still awaiting my respec, and in the meantime I'm using my extensive Vehicle Upgrade skills to run a roadkilling LLAV.
The dropship is a hole in be sky into which ISK is poured. It's going to take six months minimum to fix, and more likely a year or more. The are the fixes to the ship itself to make them survivable and sustainable, then fixes to the game to make them relevant. That's a huge effort when CCP's resources are being directed to the myriad base game breaking bugs. |

I havn`t lost a 1 vs 1 or a 1 vs 2 or a 1 vs3 but I have lost 1/2 + rail tanks or Assault FG vs me battles, those are the only A2As I`ve lost so I'll jump into this 'best pilot' pissing contest :D
but I have to say, the best Pilots are the RDV, their A2G sucks but they always win A2A *shutters* he was shot down, then he turned towards me with a crazed look in his eye, if he had a mouth I know he would say "you coming down with me HAHAHHA" *rocks back and forth in corner* he was dead.... he was dead.... |

I got out with the respec and don't regret leaving. Gave up on them several game builds ago and I do regret it. Flying was fun but the hard realities of isk and buggy (really bad at the time) flight mechanics after their golden age forced me out.
Sometime after the introduction of PvE or an exploration game mode will get me back into them. |

Is there a place to learn other than a heated battle? Anyway if Dropships are as hard to pilot as they were in beta I could actually use the help learning them. |

I have been pondering speccing into Dropships to give a go at Assault flying. Being a fan of choppers in BF3 I enjoy the freedom of aerial vehicles and thoroughly enjoy that aspect of the game. With that said, i know the assault dropships have their pros and cons and would appreciate a quick reference guide, or skill plan, for the aspiring dropship pilot. I am awaiting a respec and have zero knowledge on what works and what doesnt regarding mods and turrets. I know how to fly and figured out the controls quickly due to past experience. Any input you can provide would be appreciated. A complete skill point allocation guide would be ideal.. but understand if that is asking too much.
Thanks in advance. The simple answer is don't. They're a waste so sp and ISK, who's only actual intended role is actually fulfilled better by the free LAV's running around, which just to add insult to injury, have better survivability too. But if your really determined to pursue this madness here goes.

I recommend you only focus on shields or armour skills to start with , depending on your race choice.
Thanks for the info! I plan on giving assault dropships a go before I quit this game entirely :)
Do you think 9 million SP will cover this build? |

Honestly this is the truth.
You don't have to give up all hope for piloting, just take a pragmatic approach and wait a year or two for CCP to fix them and give them a tactical or strategic purpose in the game.
Dumping all your SP into flying at this point is a sure fire way to become bitter and discouraged. |

Corp bs, PC bs, **** head ego driven baddie directors, **** gameplay and lag have all got me bitter and disgruntled enough to leave. Kinda waiting for the next game to come out.
