How much additional support will drop-shops be able to provide to their ground teams? For example, a pilot has just deployed a squad of marines onto a space station. Will the pilot be able to assist the strike force with an additional pair of eyes by monitoring their motion sensors, vital signs, helmet cams etc?asked by Johnjohns
Obviously when you bring other players in with the ship, you can provide direct support in the normal way by shooting people while you're dropping troops to the landing area. It'd actually be kind of cool to have a situation where you monitor a team almost like Aliens, that's something we should consider doing because that'd be a really cool role. We were thinking when you land a dropship either the pilot would take off again and go back out, or potentially get out of the ship and join the rest of the team on the assault. But like I said I think that'd be a really cool feature, so we'll definitely take that under advisement.
