My friend's dropshop annhilated our base. :-( [with feature upvote link]

[Felkami]

I had a really nice base set up and we were ready to go off and complete the mission/get exotis. Then when they dropped in... It landed right ontop of the base and annhilated everything. Back to square one with the disadvantage that all the resources in our area were mined out. :-(

Help save my sanity, upvote this suggestion I found? https://icarus.featureupvote.com/suggestions/286376/suggestion-dropship-landing-on-buildings

This is always an amusing event, although it can be frustrating to lose your stuff. I like the possibility of this happening, so I can't upvote this suggestion.

The answer is to not build in the drop zone. It's as simple as that, and seems like a realistic precaution.

I have so many hours in this game and at no point did I think to just build where I land. First off there is weather to consider. I do not want to be in a woods when lighting strikes........

This is an old issue that clearly is not going to be changed. Either people get smart or get destroyed, pretty simple really. Ignorance will always consume you.

There should definitely be a warning before building in a dropship area that doing so could result in a dropship destroying your base.

Sure but there is not. If you look through the forums it has been happening for a long time with no change. Do you really need a warning for everything? Oh wait we have to put a warning on laundry detergent pods today not to eat them so I guess we do. Given people can not learn things on their own.

This is really a thing you only ever need to learn once in the game ... dedicating dev time to it seems a little wasteful with so many other things that need/should be worked on.

Even so a small warning not to build in the drop zone would be nice to avoid these things happening and in having that warning you can always say "well didn't you read the warning?" when it happens anyway, without the need to do anything else about it.

When you have to resort to one of the laziest fallacies of argument...

Someone please note today's date: Whiplash and I are in total agreement. ;)

I also never thought to build right where I landed... is that really a thing for people?

Even in EGS, I explore the whole first planet and find a nice, scenic spot (by a lake) to build...
