DropShips

DO you think the dropship will get a cool upgrade because so far the protoss has warp it which is effectively better then the shuttles.. imagine reaver+plus colossus drops on workers lol.. but i think the terran should get a cool affect for their transporter
(second function like prism as pylons) maybe it could drop bombs... im rambling so you can comment on it :good:

 

what about bomb dropping for bombardement

 

I think it should come with a drop pod (for an upgrade of course)

 

undetectable dropships would be sort of rigged beside just cloaked is good

 

i think the dropship sould be able 2 use combat units inside (Marines reapers and ghosts ONLY) that attack with normal fire at a decreased rate (harder 2 aim in dropship) so you could put like 6 marines in a dropship and attack like there is 3 but if you put a tank in it it does nothing (how do u fire a tank in a dropship? they got those ground anchors for a reason) that way your dropship could be defended.

 

lets see how much damage would marines do?? around 6? so 6x6 is 36 wow that owns battlecruisers laser lol

 

Yeah if the dropship gets destroyed the units inside are safely ejected (assuming over solid ground of course)

 

How about just a simple upgrade that increases the amount you can carry by 2 or 4.

 

Thats boring.

 

Boring but effective... i think they should get a speed boost.

 

how about the ability to be killed by one mutalisk attack like in the ghost trailer?

 

heh heh its called artistic license

 

Once you get a glave wurm bouncing around in there there's no telling what'll happen.

I like the idea of a bunker-esque Dropship with reduced fire rates. 36 damage per "shot" is nasty if it is 2 shots per second, but if it is spread out over 2-4 seconds it would much more reasonable. Also, against armored enemies, since the shots would still be considered packets of 6 damage, the armor would stop a lot more firepower than it would the whole 36 in one blast. Perhaps, on top of the speed drop, you'd get an accuracy drop, with a chance-to-miss thing going on. All perfectly reasonable.

 

really good sense of balance paragon u get an -F

 

It would be nice to be able to mount different types of weapons on the transport that auto-fire on various ground units. In terms of spead, perhaps the drop ship could have energy, and when it builds up to 150 or so you can launch the drop ship into outer space and make it fly to the specified location much like a nuke. This will effectively be a counter for the warp in the protoss have as well as the nydus worm the zerg have.
This ability should also have a drawn out animation so that the enemy has a chance to destroy the ship. First post =) hope I'm making sense.

 

I like the idea of a speed boost, no energy cost, just a cooldown.

I really liked the drop pod ability! Though, I don't really think people would want to reseach a "just in case" ability. It should come standard with the new "drop ship" [you dont have to research warp in... right???]

 

maybe mount a golitah so its not defenesless

 

You don't have to research to use the Protoss warp in, but you need to upgrade a Gateway which I'm assuming costs resources.

 

id say it shouldnt be possible due to balance issues...imagine u have, say 12 dropships stuffed with tanks, and ur playing a toss..hes sitting around in hes base building shit and suddenly a fucking squadron of dropships come crashing down like "zup"

nah i just dont see it happening, id rather see some sort of drop-pods that u could launch like..emh, drop-pods but would require something like a ghost targeting a specific area with a beacon so that ur enemy get a chance to see whats going on..

yep, thats my 2cent "running over to another post"

 

Heres a picture of it from another forum
