Back in the beta, I destroyed a Gal by hitting it with my drop pod.

I guess they changed it so it was less devastating.

Given how incredibly hard it is to aim drop pods, you'd think there'd be a more substantial reward for hitting something.

Have you ever hit an enemy plane with your drop pod?  I have.  It didn't do any damage but it knocked him off course.
I did today. Clipped the wing forcing it into a spin which ended in their death. Really awesome when it happens.

This game feels like a bad marriage.  What used to be fun foibles are becoming rage inducing, and playing for the short periods of fun is no longer enjoyable.  I'm starting to hate this fucking game.  Spending my time fighting for revive and heal XP so I can buy a decent gun, only to spend my time getting shot by people I never saw doesn't strike me as a fun game, or even a game at all.

If you're not having fun reviving, why do it? Forget certs, just play to have fun and get certs along the way. Standard guns work well enough, slap a decent sight on a basic gun and go with it.

Seriously. Just play Heavy Infantry and spam people if that's the only way you can get enjoyment out of the game.

It feels too much like a massive version of Battlefield 3 to hold much lasting appeal for me. I'll likely play it, but BF3 got boring pretty quick after I got the shiny guns I wanted and massacred with, especially on the sniper.

I'll admit- I'm bad at this game. Randomly enough, though, I actually like Vanu better than NC, mainly due to lower recoil? Probably. I'm not the best fighting at range. Only one way to get better, though.

Thank you! So many B12ers play NC, guys come on NC dominates in numbers very often. Vanu for the win!

TR are pretty consistently underrepresented, for some reason. I've not once seen a pro-TR YouTube video, which even the Vanu have.

TotalBiscut is pro-TR. Even has an outfit, Let the Brit drop.

Actually, a follow-up to this: I just dropped into an enemy Mosquito, and destroyed it instantly. I think the score message mentioned something about "drop pod kill", but I wasn't paying careful attention. I definitely destroyed it, and got kill credit, so apparently it's possible!

Maybe it's just the Liberators/Galaxies that aren't vulnerable to drop pod one-shots?

I hit it right on the tail which may have been part of it.  It was a reaver or whatever the TR equivalent is.

Either a mosquito or a liberator then.
