Long story short I decided to respec into the road less traveled, dropships. Main reason was so if I was going to die I'd at least see it coming and potentially have something to do about it, save for the occasional RDV which honestly hasn't been much of a problem so far. Overall though it's been pretty challenging, which I love (what's the point if you're good at something from the start?) I'd love some tips since I'm still sort of new to this.
I have two main builds right now
Eryx - Logistics Dropship CPU: 239 / 287 PG: 439 / 469 Shield: 3196 HP Armor: 1000 HP Shield Recharge Rate: 29.42 XT-1 Fragmented Missile Launcher XT-1 Fragmented Missile Launcher Azeotropic Ward Shield Extender Azeotropic Ward Shield Extender 'Surge' Shield Reinforcement Ward Shield Regenerator Light IG-L Polarized Armor Regenerator Local Powergrid Expansion Unit Cost: 766,475 ISK
and
Python - Assault Dropship CPU: 257 / 276 PG: 508 / 551 Shield: 2571 HP Armor: 770 HP Shield Recharge Rate: 29.42 XT-1 Accelerated Missile Launcher (nose) Militia MT-1 Missile Launcher Militia MT-1 Missile Launcher Azeotropic Ward Shield Extender Azeotropic Ward Shield Extender 'Surge' Shield Reinforcement Ward Shield Regenerator Light IG-L Polarized Armor Regenerator Local Powergrid Expansion Unit Cost: 886,535 ISK
As you can see, I went with Caldari and Missile Launchers. Did I already mess up? Also so I know in the future what to stock up on, what is generally considered better for the missile launchers? On my assault I have the Accelerated since I figured high speed would be nice, but perhaps the fragmented with wider blast radius would be better. I'll try it for myself but would love some tips.
Also more in regards to the assault dropship, how do you guys aim these things? I'm trying to hit a stationary turret installation and having trouble. I tried cockpit view but honestly it's such a terrible view (was hoping for something similar to Battlefield) and you can't aim without nose diving to the ground. When I'm in third person it's tricky because when I use the right stick to aim up and down it reverts back to default as soon as I let go, is there a way to change this? Or should I be trying to aim by moving my ship a specific way?
On a separate note, I'm surprised by the general lack of skill point investment needed (seems to all be caught up in the ISK investment). I have 3.3M SP and it only took me 2M to get all that I got. So I have 1.3M left, but I don't really see anything that could make my dropships much better than where I got them. Is there something I'm missing?
And lastly any general |
