ok lets face it the handling of the dropships is garbage .. why is this , inertia . (wiki it) ok its 2013 and every i mean every aircraft out there has whats called an air brake (prop planes use a flap mechanisim , jets have a thrust diverter ) . dropships get going in them and in order to stop you damn near gotta put yourself nose completely up exposing you to fire or you have to fly around super slow so you can put your self where you want to be . in a discussion with kane spero and a few others back a week or so ago i brought up .... retro thrust. tie it to a unused button or the upward downward thrust button when you hit it it provides braking . now picture this , you have a fully loaded myrodon ok you want to be at letter A , at the moment its fly there either slow as can be exposing yourself to swarms my forge and whatever have you or go balls to the wall and pray . now flying top speed , you want your guys to be able to hit the ground running full bore throttle get to close to the letter activate retro slow down enough to land dump them out take off . even just for evasive manuvers make it a little more survivable .... just a thought

KOBLAKA1 Opus Arcana 90	Posted - 2013.06.26 21:15:00 - [6] - Quote i like the how acceleration/deceleration works in general but it only applies vertically so to stop fast you almost have to do a backflip which is a design flaw imo. brakes ftw lol

KOBLAKA1 Opus Arcana Covert Intervention 115	Posted - 2013.06.28 13:01:00 - [11] - Quote Faced off against 2vs1 in aerial combat yesterday, would have been awesome to pull a Maverick and airbrak watch them fly by, then light them up. (It was a stalemate for those that care, ended up getting forge gunned. The kicker was one of the DS pilots landed to try and kill me on the ground. He and his door gunner get out of his caldari ADS. I kill the pilot and make his buddy run away lol. His buddy got smart and flew off in the ADS as I was hacking. Moral of the story? Noone expects the pilot of a DS to be heavily specced into HMGs lol)
