use blasters as most the av will be militia so easy to survive the more you practice the more steady you get. |

Judge Rhadamanthus wrote:Remember that just like learning to fly, people have to learn to gun. It's not the same as on the ground. The ship moves, the turret moves. Gunning is like trying to hold a bowl of cake mix still while someone else stirs it (try it). By that I mean they line up a shot and facto in your speed, then suddenly you change speed.
Good gunners (also a great pilot) like Richie up there a few comments above are helped by also being pilots. When gunning he knows when the pilot has found a safe spot, or is lineing him up or when a swarm bump is incoming.
People have to learn to gun. Give them some time and lea-way. Unless they start spamming bulltets as soon as they sit down. Hate that (there is a gunning video on the way to try address this
Why thank you +1 for you my good fellow! |

Your making me doubt my choice for caldari now :P
I wouldnt bother with dmg mods for ds go for as much hp as possible thts what i do and it seems to work also i try to keep my fitting cost down i my cheapest fit is around 600k w/ a neutron blaster on my python |

Right now its isnt possible to get the proper numbers outside of battles however if you you que sync a oms/dom battle on the Asia server with a friend at around 5-7pm gmt . you can land your ads and aim your turret a your friends lav and get the efficiency ratings and distance, with this you can tell how effective the weapon at each range.
personally i use a scattered neutron blaster despite the stabilized having more range as i don't feel it worth the extra isk for the ion or the extra range being much more beneficial. |

Fire of Prometheus wrote:I actually learned this when I joined a squad and their was already a pilot in the squad so I just decided to man the turret in his dropship ....trust me I'm not a gunner, I usually snipe if I'm not flying, but the pilot and I racked up a combined total of over 1500 WP in one ambush...I had around 920 WP and most of the pilots WP were vehicle kill assists.....had the most fun in that match
That's pennies and dimeS to what me and judge can get i think a while back with another gunner eagle eye we got a orbi in just 1 or 2 minutes with alL three of us in the ADS! |

But judge is totally right the best gunners tend to be pilot as not only do they understand the ds mechanic but also tend to have the turret skill aswell. |

I'll update post 1 with a new link when it's up. Any comments, good or bad are welcome. Ah nice, ill look forward to it. I've kind of got it down... my main problem is doing a tight turn and forgetting about that massive building to the next of me...
You will slowly get a better idea of each map's building locations.I recommend playing ambush as you play lots of maps in a short time. |

Waylander87 wrote:Waylander87 wrote:Firstly, a massive thank you for these videos! Best tutorials I've found so far, especially the controller animation. And to read that you do that by hand is even more impressive. Thanks for taking the time to do it.
Questions from a new pilot who is mostly upside down seconds after takeoff:
1) Your ship has cross-hairs; is this because its an assault ship? I'm trying to fly in the militia scrub ship since its cheaper and it doesn't have cross-hairs, but they look like a good reference point. Just wanted to check it wasn't a setting I'd missed.
2) Your ship seems very responsive. Again, is the responsiveness of your ship due to it being non-militia?
3) Any skills you'd recommend? Thinking of setting up an alt as a pure pilot. NB: Just watched the second video to the end, and answered my own questions. Must remember to watch first and ask questions after in future... 3) is still valid mind...
Two things:
the main skills to get are proto turrets i recommend missile for newbies blaster come later and getting complex mods for your ds or ads.
so lvl 4 pg upgrade -very useful
lvl 2 cpu upgrade
lvl 5 missile turrets
lvl 5 shield upgrades
i would recommend dooing it in that order aswell w/ lvl 4 pg upgrade and lvl 3 boosters and extenders the primary goal
also i would also specing into shield tanks to run in ambush only to gain isk.- although it may be better to have another alt for that. |

Roldrage wrote:Are logi dropships worth it? I'm thinking about using the Eryx.
They handle like a tank w/ only 1k extra shields and cost 3 times the price so its up to you weather its a worthy trade-off however if they introduce more wp for pilots ,i imagine they could prove very productive if ccp gives us a buff aswell another thing to mention is if your considering piloting i would try using them in ambush as there's non of them pesky rail-gun snipers.
If you would like to try em out don't hesitate to contact me ingame or judge im sure he would love to help you out. |

Roofer Madness wrote:Hello. I would like a little help with my fit please. I am trying to be an anti-av / infantry kiling machine. I've got a million points in drop ships and here is my fit so far.
Incubus Assault
ST-1 accelerated missle (main)
ST-1 cycled missle
ST-1 cycled missle
militia shield extender
militia shield regulator
60mm nanofibre plates X2
Energized Nanite Plating
Light Polarized Armor Repair
So with this I get
1080 shield
2924 armor
13.29 shield recharge
-19.00 movement penalty
14.58 armor damage resistance
Any suggestions on what to spend the next million or so SP on?
I would recommend to get rid of one of the 60mm plates and upgrade the other one to complex also get rid of the nanite plating and replace your empty low slots with armour hardners so skill those up after upgrading that, I would focous on get armour upgrade to lvl 5 and getting proto missiles the latter of the two being the most important. |

howard sanchez wrote:Talk to me about the logistics dropship on board CRU.
Ive been flying the Prometheus for about a week and I have, on numerous occasions, been in an active squad, aloft and flying low over the battlefield, only to have squad mates looking for a spawn point tell me that they don't see my dropship as a selectable spawn location
Who can see the logi dropship as a spawn point? Are there limitations? ( I know a pilot must be in the vehicle but can the who.e team use it?) is there an operational ceiling (altitude) limit?
Great thread. Praying for Gallente flight viability in the future
I believe there is a bug t the moment that only allow people to spawn in you ds if they are perma dead (cannot be revived)
you might want to try that next time. |

Mr Giberty Flibt wrote:Well that's just it this guy isn't an uberchar. He only has 3.6 mill sp and 17mil isk. I was wondering if I should try out dropships on an alt to learn how to fly the and find out which I like more.... Rather than going into several skills that I don't realise are complete crap. I am going to assume that there will NEVER be a respec so I don't want to make mistakes. So I guess I will make the alt then keep it for further tests later.... Man I hate it when I'm upset I can't decide, but then when I explain the issue the choice is obvious.... 
Make a alt skill into Shield/armour upgrades dont start using a ADS until you have at least 1 mil invest into shield/armour upgrade tree 2 mill prefered
First get survivability then go for dmg (turrets)
Aim for lvl 3 in shield upgrades and shield extension then i would go for lvl 4 vehicle engineering to get power diagnostics. |
