first off bugs fix. then when you have time get this mode out!!!

if warthunder can, so can you! if you are skeptical or have no clue how dropship would handle try out warthunder!. after playing warthunder, i know this mode will work in mwo.

there is more of a battle! struggle! and depth to every match. there are plenty of upside to dropship mode which we can discuss but one i want to point out is.

it allows noobs to have a 2nd/3rd/.... chance and have a good feel of the game without getting stomped in 5-10mins.




dropship mode! dropship mode! dropshit mode.

I am disappointed this hasn't made it in yet. It was the mode I was most excited for so I hope it makes it in eventually.

the bare bones game mode shouldnt' be that hard.

Drop ship mode is dead and will be replaced with the Lobby system.

yeh same here! it was the mode i thought would of been in when i started 4~ months ago.

its fun assembling your dropship and figuring out what to deploy first.

i wouldnt mind if they just did it like in the cartoon. basically the mech is in a coffin with a window and they get dropped into battle and it opens up.

I hope each player has a tonnage limit in their "drop ship", or have to bring 1 of each weight class. It would introduce a whole level of meta game/strategy to the game mode. Does everyone start in a scout mech, or are the more valuable late round? Is 4 mediums better than 2 scouts and 2 assaults? Etc...

YEAH!!!! when i think about it, it gets me excited! there is so much potential for strategizing. imo max ton and number of mechs would be better because it allows each players to form their own style, which would also increase the meta that much more!

for example if you pick more heavy mechs, there is a chance you might bring 1 less mechs into battle.

Based on an old ask the devs I thought that too.

But they reference it in the latest AtD35 stating it's coming.

Another poor job communicating their message.

vasces said ton limit OR 1 each weight class.

tbh, if you choose not to play anything else thats fine but you might screw yourself. imo max ton and number of mechs works best. then a player like yourself can stuff as many heavy into your dropship but you still might have extra room for a light........ if you dont want to use that weight thats ok.

im sorry but there would have to be a bay limit as well, else people would bring 6 raven 3ls to a single match

Normally when ton limits are involved, you wouldn't allow someone to drop with 4 heavy mechs.

[Demoned]

my team lol'd their ***** off at me yesterday.

im sure there is a nice maigcal number for max ton in lets say 4 max bays but ahh thats not for me to figure out even thought i have an idea for a good starting point.

Bay limit would be set to 4. All Players get 4 Bays by Default.

yes and no.

yes to: every match you are allowed the use of multiple mechs. there will be a ton and bay limit and no repeats.

no to: everything else, only because i do not want to get into the details of the mode.

in warthunder every match you are allowed multiple planes to use. the game "modes" revolves around a combination of eliminate all targets, capture the base or bases, destroy all ground units,


if dropship mode ever gets in, we can talk about the rest of your idea
