I have yet to hear a response this year about what you propose to do with dropships. It's very frustrating.

I take issue withthis threads title, it assumes CCP cared in the first place.

waiting for a response about this, seeing as I've invested time, aurum, SP .. primarily into dropships to aid my corp members but have to rely on other methods to help them as dropships are only good for elevating yourself within a certain window, before you get shot down like a pheasant during hunting season.

Can we please not ever mention that word again? Thank you.

You don't understand how upset I am to have had to turn in my pilots license. The only viable way to play DS right now is to either constantly hoof it on ground to make up for ship losses, be part of a corp that doesn't mind you wasting their ISK, and flying an ADS.

I think the ADS is just ridiculous in terms of the DS philosophy anyways. It's the cheap way to give us an aerial attack vehicle without actually giving us an aerial attack vehicle. Having 4 passenger slots instead of 2 ensures that the already underwhelming logi ships get pushed even further down the totem pole, since you can still act as a troop transport (while getting there quicker to boot)

With whispers of Bomber Dropships in the works, it is abundantly clear that CCP has completely disconnected from the idea of fitting them into proper roles and has instead adopted the idea of using them as placeholders for things that should have their own models, flight mechanics, and skill trees.

don't undock it if you can't afford to lose it.

This isn't EVE. It's an FPS. That's like saying "Don't wear proto gear if you're afraid of dying".
