Hey guys,
Disclaimer:
In this thread, I'll only be commenting on the Python because it's the Caldari ship I know the best, and I have absolutely no idea what fitting is like on an Incubus or any other armor dropships. I'm not proposing we screw other dropships by only buffing Pythons, but I am unaware of what the solution would be for them. This idea would have to be deployed in tandem with a different fix for other dropships, as to preserve balance. As such, I'll be sticking to what I know. That said, let's get into it.
The setup:
I hear a lot of complaints about vehicle powergrid, but honestly I've never had an issue with it in a Python. It's all give and take. My current fit is like so:
High Slots:
- Azeotropic Ward Shield Extender
- Azeotropic Ward Shield Extender
- Ward Shield Amplifier
- Clarity Ward Shield Booster
Low Slots:
- Light Payload II (don't recall the exact name)
- Light Payload II
Turrets:
- Militia MT-1 Missile Launcher
- Militia MT-1 Missile Launcher
- XT-1 Accelerated Missile Launcher
This fit has 2571 shield, 23.5% resist (therefore ~3360 effective shield), 770 armor, and packs a decent punch. However, if I switch the damage mods out for Local Power Diagnostic units, I open up a few options. This frees up enough powergrid to run a booster and 3 extenders, 2 boosters and 2 extenders, 4 extenders, etc (boosters and extenders all require 74 PG).
Adding a high slot:
Now, if we add a high slot, we can run any of those fits mentioned above plus an extra shield amplifier. This means we could run a number of different fits:
- 1 Booster, 3 Extenders, 1 Amplifier, 2 Power Diagnostic Units: 3464 shield, 23.5% resist, 4528 effective shield
- 1 Booster, 2 Extenders, 2 Amplifiers, 2 Light Payload II: 2571 Shield, 35.25% resist, 3970 effective shield
- 1 Booster, 2 Extenders, 1 Amplifier, 1 Active Fuel Injector, 2 Local Powergrid mods: 2571 shield, 23.5% resist, 3360 effective shield (haven't tested the PG numbers on this yet so it may not be possible, speed tanked)
- 4 Extenders, 1 Amplifier, 2 Power Diagnostic Units: 4212 shield, 23.5% resist, 5506 effective shield (no booster, buffer tanked)
- 3 Extenders, 2 Amplifiers, 2 Power Diagnostic Units: 3464 shield, 35.25% resist, 5349 effective shield (no booster, buffer tanked)
Those are just a few examples of things you could do. TBH, I haven't checked the CPU numbers yet to see if this would all fit, but I'm pretty sure it comes in under budget.
TL;DR Give the Python a 5th high slot and we won't have to buff their health. |

I am not a dropship pilot but my brother is and he agrees with you.
His biggest fear is losing his shields, since dropships go insane after catching on fire he just cant seem to stack enough shield. But unfortunately AV weapons completely shred his dropship. |

I could need another low slot on my madrugar, so I can fit a CPU Upgrade and make use of my high slots.
Thanks. |

Thanks. Why does every thread about vehicles degenerate into an HAV thread? It's not all about you guys. |

Don't be mad, friend.
It's just that we also want a piece of cake. I have 1 high slot in which I can't fit anything, because CPU is maxed. |

I could take out one hardener, but that's suicide, you need two. So you also think madrugars should get another low slot? Can you change the thread title to "give madrugars another low slot", friend? thanks in advance. |
