Post subject:  Dropship Death

I think the way the dropship dies gets a little predictable in the end.
It would be nice to see some variation, like if the engine gets shot and doesn't explode, it accelerates causing the ship to flip over and crash, just something like that.

I'm not sure how much fun it would be for the ship to crash when the engines still have some life left. When the engines take some damage I think most players will take the opportunity to escape from the enemy's fire while they still have some health left.

Having the engine accelerate and making the ship harder to control is a good idea, but not the point where it tips over and crashes.

I think it already does make piloting a little crazy when you get shot, because of the little gas leak, it's like a miniture thruster.

I think if the engine was shot like... 30 Health or something, it would explode in the flaming pillar and shoot the rockets top way into the sky, then you would have about 10 seconds to find some cover, to not get smashed.

I wish the body would explode, and leave a smoking crater in the body afterwards...

Pro-tip: Shoot it differently, like using the harkonnen cannon - uber fun.

Howz About responding to the payload. Say if you had The Punisher's Nuke, hey presto, Nuclear Dropship Anhialation.

A Peep, Flies out with paracute with the odd burn, scar etc.

PS introduce fire extinguishers.

What about the rocket's death?

Even more predictable, it justs falls down, not as exciting as the dropship death.

If you hit it in a different spot it falls differently. :P

I spose cos it's flying is more random it doesn't bother me as much, I'd like to see more gibs from it tho, just the 2 legs is that interesting.
Also, I can only play it single played :cry: I think that makes things more predictable.

On a different note: Data should make the dropship harder to fly, perhaps not as hard as the rocket, but harder.

Make it so the dropship can roll!!! That would be ultimately intense!

I say that the dropship entrywound emissions should have a bit more mass so it flies off in a more pronounced direction.
