Get a job, hippie.

whats the problem here? my python is roughly 1.2m and i crash that thing like its the 4th of july some times due to the same problems and im also a tanker/lav driver >.> how the freak are you out of cash? i'm still roughly 250m isk and i haven't moved much with my suicidal nose dives in the python, or the loss of a few 500-800k isk tanks ._. or better yet 200-300k suits i use, and no i have no eve account and my corp dose nothing to help with cash they beg for it.

By now its obvious that CCP couldnt give a **** (Poop) less about RDV's spawning inside or driving right through out dropships.

Well guess what. When I hit zero ISK if this role isn't sustainable (By virtue of RDV's alone!) then I'm done. It's one thing to be killed by other players.

Its one thing to be killed by user error

But if mother ****ing meteors fell from the sky and cost infantry players 1.5 million ISk per game, 20x a day.
Do you think any of them would give a **** about playing this game? Funds are quickly running out, along with my patience.

The fact that something totally unavoidable loses you that much ISK and isn't even concerned with you or another player is an embarrassing oversight in game design.


Try this guys. Play Dust for a few hours. Roll a dice. If it lands on 4, 5 or, 6 you just lost 1.5 million ISK. See how long you can keep that up before you say WTF this game is kinda stupid and peace out.

your wallet, check it.

to friendly blueberry pilots literally ramming their milita Vipers into my 1.1 mil dropship..

I did, but i still have no moneys

I put five mill In? its all I can spare

Weird its showing i have 100K, I wasn't saying 5 mil wasn't enough xD

I swear I'm not trolling either, It literally says i have 252K now after i just finished a pub match.

Okay first of all, in no way am i going to beg for ISK from players and promote the notion that they NEED TO DONATE to me, but recently i have been plauged with the shittiest luck when flying my proto-python fit, with examples ranging from invisible enemy RDV's, random instant explosions, to friendly blueberry pilots literally ramming their milita Vipers into my 1.1 mil dropship. All of these factors combined basically have drained any amount of ISK i once had, and i have now become furious that even though you can be a great pilot, there's absolutely no way to make money if you just run into 1-2 bad games.

Now, the counter-response to this would be that i shouldn't fly in mostly every game. But it takes around 10 matches of me doing a mediocre ground job (All the SP i have is skilled into ds so i have to use militia fits) to earn 1 dropship. Where if i simply call in 1 ADS and keep it alive for the whole match (There are times i go literally days without losing 1 ADS), i can make about 250K per match, which hikes my ISK payout about double that if i were on ground.

That being said, there's clearly a way that DS pilots can make money if they are smart, talented, and lucky enough, however that luck only lasts so long, and each mistake either by blueberry friendlies, or CCP RDV's drains 1 mil from my wallet each time. If there are any members who wouldn't mind donating any amount of ISK to this veteran DS pilot, i would more than appreciate it, the amount of negligence that CCP has shown dropships is really taking a toll on my wallet, but i won't let it completely bog me down.

Im sorry i know DS are under-powered at the moment.
But im in no position of donating at the moment. Before i started using basic heavy and standard Forge-gun i was running a 250HP & 150k Scout suit....you see where im going with this right....

Why not try your Corp? i mean if you are a veteran DS pilot and a good one im sure they are willing to help.

My most agonizing crash:

It was chromosome Manus Peak.
We were mopping up as usual but the team got wise. They pulled a proto forge on me and just as I came round a skyscraper he popped me the final time. I was going full forward velocity. I got my gunners out but I remained because my armor repair module was so very close to finishing it's cool down. I was slowly and cruelly might I add approaching the ground (but I was going very fast forward so I traveled the whole map cross section). Just as the last blip on the cool down meter finished, I blew up before I even hit the ground from armor burn. It was the cruelest yet most intense crash I have been in.

For more tales of adventure, insert 500,000 ISK into Serimos and fellow Condors.

haha I gave sinboto simmons 5mill lol I wasn't paying attention.

My most terrible crash? I took off immediately after the RDV let go of my python. It seems the python's acceleration is too quick and I "crashed" upwards into that same RDV as it was leaving. Instant destruction.

Basically, 700k isk poofed in around 3 seconds. Maybe 10 if you're counting the time during which it's still attached to the RDV.

I'm still trying to recover my wallet from my...time....with dropships....
