Technically yes, albeit super ******* dangerous. Lore wise ships have entered and been in atmosphere. my favorite example was during the Events that lead to the initial deployment and then capture of Templar One. An imperial Revelation dreadnought came into high atmosphere for a pin-point precision firing run on Matari targets that were protected by the mountains, and not able to be hit from orbit. This revelation got a few rounds off but a 'Legion Drake that was working as a contractor for the Matari soldiers on the ground engaged it , and as missiles slammed into it it lost it's balance and crumbled under it's own weight, smashing into the surface. Mordu enjoyed this feat so much he made a hat of it. I'm not joking.

The same thing was attempted by a capsuleer flying a moros which had greater success due to a capsuleers superior abilities, but even the moros went down after sustaining fire.

There is a Concord cruiser floating above a city in one of the rubicon trailers as well.

What i find to be a good example though is this official concept art of the warbarge, which contains a 3D map. the map shows a Caldari MCC over a battle, with a Ferox holding close to it. Closing in from the right is a Gallente Thorax flanked by two atrons.

TL;DR

Yes..

... wants to be able to fly / land / crash a dropship full of gun-toting good ol' boys in "Legion"... successfully or unsuccessfully... not fussy, I'll keep doing it until I get it right because I'm immortal and the grunts are expendable. Twisted

CCP should dump PI completely.

Then when you go into Planetary Mode, it will start a game of Civilization. Of course, somebody may already be playing..

no thanks, stations work well enough for me :)

Last time a ship officially made re-entry it left a crater on the planet and threatened tectonic stability. So I doubt they're made for atmospheric flight.

But maybe they make the Jita moon at the trade hub into the station. It would definitely be fitting to the amount of stuff in there and the activity on the station.



To be fair, it was shot to hell.

On the other hand, this is yet another way proving Gallente superiority.

Yes, the Wandering Saint *only* slammed into an Ishukone station, but that Caldari Titan crashed into a PLANET!

OUR Titans can avoid planets, thank you very much.

:D

OUR "titans" are SOOOOO BIIIIIG ...

I still prefer the Avatar. * cough *


So what you're saying is you're into Amarrians? ^.-
