I know that a few players would like to see dropships added to every match. I think this feature needs to remain as part of CW only, as the present system of single play matches is also a useful system.

CW is for in my opinion, extended game play when you want a cool battle.

There are other matches when you just want to play a quick game and only have a limited amount of time. If you only have 10 minutes to game in before you leave, getting into a match with 20 minutes remaining is a no-go, and you won't be very popular leaving the game with 3 Mechs still ready to drop.

Both systems are valid and belong here in MWO. The game is still developing and we have a chance to build it. We now have CW complete with it's bugs (horrid wait times and opponent-less matches). You want drop ships, come up with map idea's for CW. BE DESCRIPTIVE.

I remember when there were only 4 basic maps. Now look at it. Over a dozen!

Stop trying to find ways that seem like a good idea but are not.

Design buildings, landscapes, or other map features and submit them. You want drop ship matches for River City, then suggested an expanded river city map for CW. Those drop ships are armed people, and one flyover can cripple or completely cream a group of Mechs on a map sized to River City or one of the smaller maps.

The suggestion would be to get rid of River City then so you could have what you want and every small map there is. No! That is not the answer. River City and the other smaller maps have their place, and they are working just fine. You want drop ship maps, then there is CW and think about what you think would be an ideal CW map. I've already suggested a large Volcano styled map here on the forums for a CW map.

Be creative. Most of the items they have in MWO are just fine (minus the bugs). Figure out how to get rid of the bugs. Come up with neat ideas for places that are not in game yet. And enjoy the game.

A single dropship should drop the mechs at the beginning even in standard battles. It's more immersive.

I'd like a drop ship or drop ships to deposit the teams on a map in the quick matches. Like SirSlaughter said, it is more immersive.

We have the animation now, so a weaponless* drop ship at the start of the match would be fun.

Yeeeah the dropship dropoff added into the normal game modes would do a lot to make the game as a whole feel more BT-ish.
