Regardless of CPMness, I really really REALLY wanted to be a dedicated dropship pilot
Unfortunately, it was literally bad for my health.
Like. Yea.
Soooooo, guess that will never happen, because why give respec's in FPS games when you constantly screw everything up every patch?
That's just silly. |

Then there is the silent majority, people I never see on the forums but see in the game, and they give my AV abilities a real run for their money.
Lmao, that's because you're using standard AV, about the only AV that's currently balanced against dropships.
I swear..... |

The only Fired AV weapon really out of tune however I feel awful for every pilot who has to face the proto forge gun of any variety because of the alpha and subsequent shots deal so much damage that many slow vehicles that get fired on DO not have time to react. Where as with swarms majority of the time it is not too late to react and avoid subsequent hits. When being attacked by the forge gun you're either lucky and the guy shooting you is desperate and not planning his kill zone properly or you turn on your defenses and hope to get out of the kill zone quickly enough.
Yet that same dropship that's flying away from swarms is being completely useless to his team.
The fact they even made an Assault and now Bomber variants show that CCP is taking the lazy way out. Instead of giving us proper air vehicles, they're just tacking on more placeholders. The dropship is clearly not designed to assault things, yet that's what we've been reduced to. Instead of giving us gunships or actual new assets, just slap bandaids on the amputated area.
I AV enemy dropships with my own because it's way more fun and far more effective, and costs me about 1/20th the cost.
While forges are certainly an issue (I kill assaults with militia forge when I'm too lazy to call in my ship to ram them), railguns are the true culprit.
I hate that I was forced out of my favorite way to play DUST thanks to half assed balancing and a years worth of dropship abuse. But you know, lets add an anti air HAV, since dropships are so overpowered..... |

Honestly they just need to do something with railguns, give forge guns fall off damage and tweak back their optimal a tad, give DS's maybe 10% more HP and fitting capacity (or higher tier variants, same goes for other vehicles on that end), some WPs and an actual purpose as a troop transport.
You don't know how badly dropships have ruined dust for me
Seriously.
It's all I wanted to do. Now I have to play boring ass infantry again, and it just doesn't keep me coming back.
I'm a bit of a masochist, but even I had to say enough was too much

I love EVE, and EVE players are cool, but CCP needs to realize that you can't do this "No respec" business in an FPS, not without plenty of tutorials and places to test out all paths before you actually sink your SP into them.
FPS is a whole different beast, and considering DUST is currently just a lobby shooter, we need it. We wouldn't have to worry about FoTM if CCP wouldn't nerf and buff things so wildly and randomly |
