Jesus Christ, did you not read any of the discussion? The problem is getting there, without getting shot down by flak guns and other anti-air/missile defense systems.OREMAWESOME1234 wrote:We don't care if the enemy sees the pods. When we drop pods we have already engaged with the enemy
And no, you haven't already engaged the enemy. They the pods coming in from orbit all the way in, oh I don't know, FUCKING SPACE. Do you have any idea how far away space is? Gives them plenty of time to organize a counter-strike so that if you do engage them, you'll be hopelessly outnumbered through a combination of lost pods and the enemy being prepared for your dumbass attempt at stealth.

Anyway, I agree with the others, your greebling skills have backfired on you here, this thing needs to be more bulky and durable-looking. Also, that mech-pod picture is priceless.

If you want a stealth drop pod to make sense, & not create burning skid marks across the sky. You would need to build a low profile/stealth ship to drop them in low orbit.... But of course, you could just do a HALO jump at that point, but a drop pod could bring troops in faster & closer together for a surprise attack, or swift capture of facilities...

I mean other men(not from drop pods) I deploy them behind my lines as reinforcements and plus we'd equip them with thrusters or launch then during a meteor shower as camoflageaoffan23 wrote:Jesus Christ, did you not read any of the discussion?

So, you're saying that you're going to launch your drop pods... while there's thousands or possibly millions of chunks of space rock in their path... yeah, good luck with that.

woah thats quite a discussion but i have to agree on most points but i never really imagined my drop pod to be dropped from orbit i thought more like from a relatively highflying dropship and the pods would be loaded with supplies like rockets for rocket troops.
would make an interesting addition in forumbattles i think of course you could simply drop the pod on the enemy if you want.

Oh look a ship we can't account for breaking into our orbit and causing another thermal flare from re-entry even though it quite clearly has the word "Stealth" written boldly on the sides. I have a strange and vague yet compelling desire to launch lots of guided missile weapons at it just like I would for any suspicious space debris that doesn't break up or that makes a controlled entry as I am a paranoid and slightly mad Space Tyrant who has forgotten how to punctuate.
