Did you re-skill after losing a few? :P

If by few you mean over 50 top tier ships.....then yea......



I made it worse because I was determined to learn as quickly as I could to be useful in Planetary Conquest, but between prototype AV, top tier tanks, RDVs, crippling PC lag, and the general state of dropships, not to mention my masochistic determination to be logistics support....it all wound up with me experiencing all the worst that DUST had to offer, repeatedly, in a very short period of time.

Now I'm sitting here wondering what's going to happen to my build in 1.4/1.5 and hating how my experience trying to become a dedicated logistics dropship pilot almost made me throw away near 5 years of love for this game.

It's infuriating.

Lololol yes, we have many stories about insane dogfights & epic failures haha.

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.

why do you think this is the place to beg?

wtf do we owe you? you are expected to fund yourself, or find a corp to support you.

no one cares that you want to fly all the time. there is no requirement to field expensive vehicles every match, you do so at your own peril. Fly crap until 1.5. I know it sucks but that's your option. Dont come here begging.

You probably fly ppl up to the MCC to snipe glitch, if thats the case enjoy your brokeness.

Are you broke again Serimos?

This video makes me wish i had a recorder for my PS3, because I'd be able to seriously make the longest montage ever of RDV's destroying dropships lol

Like I said, no exaggeration. 500 million isk down from RDVs just like that. my montage would easily be several hours long.

Lol Blackout0 is broke too, and I was told by the old alliance that you were a good pilot. They need to give Dropships a buff they go down to forges way too quickly making them profitable difficult. I'll give you a mil next time I see you in topmen.pub channel.

Good DS pilot. Hire him, pay him well, and he'll make a difference in your PC battles.

Thanks man, and yeah, back when seven was apart of the alliance, him and I we're pretty much the premier dropship pilots for the alliance, now it's me and a few others who are, but I have even run into blackout a couple times in pub matches and had dogfights with him hah, got him twice in 1 game and he got me once, but he's also a skilled tanker as well, no doubt though that he's broke too since he shares the pain of all proto dropship pilots.

Some STB guy who jumped in our squad gave him a mil so at least he got a jump start. I was in a game with Blackout waiting for him to land so I could when he saw one of his friends assault DS and then they engaged in a fire fight when the enemy DS began to lose he rammed Blackout0 head on, wonder if that was you. They should remove RDV's a free LAV can destroy a mil ISK dropship, when you recall a vehicle it is transported to the warbarge they should transport the vehicle to you via materialization not RDV, when I run tanks the RDV Announces to the other team Tank switch to AV.

Serimos i haven't been playing dust recently and have lost all of my flight skills i have tried and tried but now im just a noob
pilot again due to flying a helicopter in BF3 that i have become so used t the helicopter controls that im now terrible

but in my prime as a pilot i was never hit by an RDV after 1.2 and i would gladly use my time to relearn how to
fly a dropship again and teach you how to dodge RDV's 101 if your willing to learn
because dropships have it so bad every match a bird stays in the air is a win for the community

also a question that needs asking first do you run an afterburner?
because that could largely contribute to my survival because i have a afterburner and a jovian powerplant on my python
but that alone isn't enough to dodge RDV's you need to know your surroundings and pay close attention.

so i can help you out if you want although i will need to learn how to fly again lol (just basically get used to the controls again)
