GOOD LUCK!
If you think this sounds fun, I recommend speccing at least 10 million SP into getting these things anywhere near capable of surviving the first few moments of a game. I think CCP did a good job of making these things attractive to new users. I mean, why would anyone NOT want to play a dropship in Dust 514?
