I have liked them a lot just messing with the militia ones and I have nothing better to spec into. I am already in vehicle upgrades because I tank a little bit and want to try something new. Thinking about going assault dropship because I don't like relying on blueberries. But the logi in me screams to be a kredit to the team.
Thought? |

Get an incubus and enjoy being a sky tank, besides that good abilities with dropships allow you to do things other players can't or do very slowly, like getting to an objective at incredible speeds, landing perfectly, dropping uplinks, hacking the point and flying off.
One of my favorite things to do in a match is to take my uplink suit fly to a number of good strategic points on the map dropping uplinks then flying back to base to swap suits before rejoining the battle, by the time i've done this the average blue berry has just arrived at the front line. |

Well the python is one of 2 assault dropships, not really sure how you can go deeper except for shield/armour/propulsion modules, which tbh I think is more fun to try out yourself. |

Don't go into an Incubus, they fly slower than Pythons and also are a larger target, not to mention they get hurt more by missiles than shield ADS's do, making them the ultimate loser in dogfights. Honestly it would be a good idea to just get all your ADS skills at 5 and get an XT-Accelerated missile on the front, with ward shield extenders added & maybe an afterburner if you feel like speed is your best suit. |

DO NOT SPEC INTO ARMOUR DROPSHIPS
they are awful, swarms are stupidly powerful against them and forgeguns/rails dont make a different since they can take out dropships equally well. |

You will spec into assault dropship, only to find that your missiles will run out. Good luck with your landing and recalling. Doesn't matter what you do for you'll be losing millions of ISK every match. If you're rich then go for it. I'm just saying that 1.5 will kill the already dead vehicles.

Currently they are useable, but in 1.4 there will be no point. You'll be dead before the repper kicks in with how fast they will put the second and third swarms in the air. I went into armor to prevent dieing when I was on fire. If you are high enough you might just survive that hit that leaves you in a free fall. |

Forte, you have told me about your dropshiping and am kind of hoping you would weigh in on this too.
Thoughts?

Do it, as long as you have corporate backing. As far as reasons...well you know very well how I feel about Dropships & I'm doing this from my phone at work, so I don't have time to go into it. Good luck with the flying, o7. Eriknaught out. END TRANSMISSION. |

I've lost 500 million ISk to RDVs spawning in me alone. Several hundred thousand to forges which can 3 shot the best assault dropship fits at between 800-1.5 million ISK a piece.
I'm about done. Want to buy some dropships from me so you can see how terrible they are?
I have max SP in all of them and its worthless. |

And if you truly want to go "deeper" into dropships, also skill into level 5 for logistics and shield tank that one too, my Eryx has 4,620 shields and 1,000 armor making it a flying tank basically. Even proto forge guns still aren't able to take me out before i get far enough out of their range and just drop units, but the logi DS is still underpowered right now, however apparently it might be getting the buff it has been in desperate need of for quite some time.
I wish I could go shields, but it would require a lot more sp. In the event of a respec tho, I will definitely go shield vehicles, but stay my gallente logi infantry |
