I currently have a damage +7% mod (which will at some point be +10%) and an active heat sink on my eryx but I want to replace one for a jovian fusion powerplant, which is the best slot to replace for this so that my gunners are the most effective they can be?

dont waste your time on active anything in dropships. instead, use passive. The longer your gunners can shoot is the way to go. the more hits you can take and stay hovering in the same spot is your best bet for having your gunners unleash hell. Its what I do when i bring out my dropship. my gunners usually get 20+ kills.

Same company different studios, one has near perfected the player feedback process, the other is still rolling on the floor after it fell over its first baby step.

Increased Damage and Fire rate beats minus heat build up, if you can get the 10% one that'll be good. (Don#t know why you need a Jovian though, but what do I know :D )

I want to see if it makes my eryx less of a brick, currently it can be quite difficult to avoid AV.

Yeah, don't even try to make a LDS manueaverable, even 2x jovians do next to nothing. Your better off maxing your tank or DPS. They work wonders on ADS though, a 3x Jovian incubus is really fast.

Jovian does not affect speed though, i thought

It says so in the description but not in the list of effects, I'm convinced it does affect speed though.

It affects acceleration, top speed is unchanged, how quickly you reach it however is changed. What this means in handling term, is that movement translates into momentum quicker, making the dropship feel more responsive and faster, what used to take a second (for examples sake) such as tilting and thrusting hard to move sideways, will now take half a second (again for example, I'm making the numbers up for ease of writing), the top speed you can reach will remain unchanged. Scout LAV's are the best example of this, a abron with no jovians will have the same top speed as an abron with 2 jovians, however the faster acceleration of the 2x abron will make it feel more responsive and thus faster than the other.

It's like 2 cars capped at 60mph, the 0-60 might be different but the top speed remains unchanged.

But does it?

DOES IT?

I have made extensive use of jovians on all vehicle classes, I have noticed no difference in top speed between vehicles with jovians and those without.

Damage module. You should give them cycled missile turrets if you can afford the fitting.

So! Who is full of ****?

And why does CCP have incorrect descriptions on everything in this game?

Accelerated or fragmented missiles work far better.

Eh, folks generally do fine with the ion cannons, I save the cyclic missiles for my python to deter noobs from staying in too long.

I must be really out of the loop when it comes to dropship fitting, or you ppl are completely insane, jovian power plants really? you have so much PG on one of those silly shield vehicles that you have room for that junk? the idea of fitting one on to my incubus.... didn't want that insanely good sky tank anyway.....

Was more thinking about the PG lost from not having PG upgrade modules.

If you know anyone that flies a well fit incubus (hardeners, plate, rep and AB with accelerated missile launcher) you should ask for a lend and give it a go, pythons seem alright but incubus are amazingly tough and fun to fly, LDS and normal DS are just pointless these days unless you have a great gunner, even then just get him to ride in the ADS instead.
