umm so yeah how about them. maybe they see some love in the near future? what are your plans CCP? Thanks for you consideration.

I hated being shot by redline rail gun tanks so much, that I became one myself... Now I realise how fun it is to kill dropships

I'm kidding, I have become totally anti tank, but you can't kill tanks in a drop ship if they are redlined, so I use a railgun tank now. I know gameplay will eventually evolve into this rock, paper, scissors gameplay when we all skill up, but yeah, I think less damage and more 'bump' on dropships are needed. I love being shot off course by different weapons, It's hilarious what the flay lock does to dropships. I think forges and rails should have the same, but greater, bumping effect on dropships.

Kill yourself.

By that I mean your character, before anyone jumps on me. You'll have more fun speccing into something else and coming back later.

There are countless threads where pilots like me and many others have asked for clear answers as to the future for Dropships, and have put forth many suggestions for improvements, but as far as the past 6 months have indicated, CCP isn't really listening to our complaints and feedback. Making a thread like this asking that they tell us what their plans are will ultimately do nothing unfortunately, i wish it did, but this has been attempted countless amounts of times in other threads to no avail.

im taking the Andy Dufresne approach. Those who have watched Shawshank Redemption will know what im talking about.

that's cool. ill still keep making these kinda posts

As will I, but I'm just saying.. it doesn't seem like CCP is really caring right now, as much as i'd want them to, being that i am a fully spec'ed ds pilot.

Dropships are great, you just need a gunner who tells you where you have to fly (because sometimes you see nothing)
You can also kill tanks with dropships, but don't get hit by them :D

when used correctly they're fine. putting it up above the battle like a pinata is not fine.

Why the hell would you resurrect a one month dead thread to post a youtube video?

Please biomass.

1. please don't bring up really old threads.

again look at the date..... its from a awhile ago. You don't have to tell me they are fine or that im not using them correctly. Im quite skilled with them and I, along with other good pilots would tell you that one assault forgeguner has the ability to shut down any effective dropship play. Same with redline tanks

Swarms are in a good place vs drops for the most part.

YOU CANT TAKE THE SKY FROM ME!

I'm a leaf on the wind

Thats my Prometheus fitting:

2x AT-1 Fragmented Missile Launcher

1x Light Converse Shield Booster
1x Militia Afterburner

1x 60mm Reinforced Polycrystalline Plates
1x Energized Nanite Plating
1x Light Efficient Armor Repair Unit

I'm very happy with that fitting, price is 520.075 ISK.
You should never fly a dropship without an afterburner.

on the python/ads, I really think you don't need one. they can accelerate quite quickly.

mhh yes you are right, but the logistics are really slow :/
