I wonder if PGI keeps stats on Dropship kills... If so I would really LOVE to see those.

[sycocys]

I haven't played CW since the DS buff, didn't really see the point of the buff as it was already the MVP for many teams out there.

Ode to Dropship

Now listen to this poem i penned
About a very special friend
His name is feared on every street
But he brings joy to my whole fleet!!

His name is Dropship! and he's great
Better than tendies on my plate
When the bad mechs come to steal my sippy
Dropship cores them and i say: Yippee!

He drops me off with all my friends
On hellebore springs within the Egg
And when bad mechs come to cause a tiff
He shows us all his special gift!

Whoosh! as Dropship swoops on down
Splish! his lasers take 'mechs down
The bad mechs rage, they're in a tizzy
But I sit smug and drink my sippy

Dropship! Dropship! Take me home
To chocolate milk and tendies warm
May Dear Coordinator praise your name
And PGI's: for making this great game!

#ThankYouPGI

I now know why you dropped my 'Mech into the middle of a half dozen spawn camping enemies... You needed to free up weight for more heat sinks.

I forgive you for what you had to do to make sure you were using the best meta build to save us all with.

this has to be one of the best threads to ever grace the MWO forums..... LMFAO..... those drawings though

[Vlad Ward]

NKVA makes great threads when Clan Wolf isn't busy spamming the report button to get them deleted/forum-banned.

How odd. I don't see many IS logos in this "ode" to dropship post. BOTH the Inner Sphere and Clans have them during drops. As an IS player, I've been tanked out by the same looking dropship while in Clan spawn points. I've learned not to hang out there. Maybe the Devs are telling us something?

It's been a while since IS forces have come within striking distance of a Clan dropship. Possibly back when there was a FRR on the CW map.

I will never blame you my dropship. I knew you wanted those extra double heatsinks.

Dropship Dan, with his super laservomit builds has always been at the cutting edge of meta and the future of the game.

Unfortunately, ghost heat keeps DD from truly owning the field, but for those brief Direstar-like moments of ownage, we can only look up to the sky and cry a single tear at his blue angel of death.

I love me some double-D's.

From the field report of Vellron2005:

Planet: Tukayyid
Mission: MFB Defence
Timestamp: 21:43, day 7 of The Battle of Tukayyid

Personal log entry No. 26-3:

"I have retreated to my perch upon the hill. They can't really shoot me up there, and I can bring my Timberwolf's missiles to bear. The Rain will be heavy tonight freebrith"

Personal log entry No 26-4:

"They have penetrated our defenses and are flanking through the narrow southern pass. Multiple lances inbound. My left torso is gone, a big whole where it used to be. I'm almost out of missiles. My lasers are rapidly overheating my system. Alpha 1, you have a Cataphract on you back! Retreat out of the pass, quick! Alpha1? Can you read me Alpha1?!"

Personal log entry No 26-5:

"Our original position is overrun, and I got separated from my lance. Lances Alpha and Charlie are lost. I have a Thunderbolt inbound. I will try to lead it onto our LZ. There are reinforcements on the way, so I'm hoping they arrive in time. Otherwise, this mission will have us all return to Strana Mechty in body bags."

Perosnal log entry No 26-6:

" I'm at the LZ, Stainer Thunderbolt hot on my trail, a mere 300 meters behind. Taking position behind some rock, letting my Medium lasers loose. Damn this cockpit is hot! The heat from the firing will cook my nuts if I'm not careful! What's that? The DROPSHIP HAMMER! Here comes the wub freebirth surat! Hahaha! 12 Lasers to the torso! Take that Thunderbolt! And more Wolves dropping from its belly! We got this! AUUUUUUU!!."

Take any Chuck Norris saying, and exchange "Chuck Norris" for "Dropship".

A dropship piloted by William Shatner can KILL Chuck Norris in an Urbie!

On a serious note I once made a suggestion that instead of making transverse PGI should instead make a Battletech space game. That way it can easily share assets (ie laser shots, missile shots, modify the ballistics, leopard dropship, union dropship, overlord dropship, etc etc etc) and also can attract BT players more to these two games- maybe it can be like war gammings system where you have the same account on both where your GXP, MC, and C-bills are shared between both profiles.
