DUST Search - Gonna try out the dropships

The only worthwhile dropships are the assault dropships, and it isn't all that difficult to survive an entire match even when the other team goes crazy with the AV, just have to know what you're doing, know a few trick manuevers, and be a good shot with your front turret.

best fit pyton.

basic afterburner
milita afterburner
shield extender
shield booster

pg upgrade
pg upgrade 7% things

3 turrets

i don't know if this fit works as far as bg cpu wise. but it sounds awesome. :D

Why would you want two afterburners, let alone a milita and normal afterburner? Waste of a mod slot and some very valuable CPU/PG. Personally I run H: best shield extender x2, best shield resistor, afterburner L: local power diagnostic x2. Halador Osiris on the other hand is probably the best Python pilot I've met and he doesn't even use the afterburner, his fit is pretty similar to mine but swaps the afterburner for a shield booster. Works wonders for him, I haven't dared try it yet.

"Children of Amarr, Beloved of God
Do not fear the dark heavens
The stars are a sign unto you
To bring the Light to dark places
And so many wondrous lights we carry
Illuminating peoples and worlds
Know that our empire is holy
Set apart for an immortal destiny
Stand true, Children of Amarr
Let the rays of our enlightenment
Shine ever before the Almighty."
Empress Jamyl Sarum I

Guners love scattered blasters. The right left most slot is left turret, middle/right slot is right turret, rightmost is pilots. And with your name I thought you'd have been flying for a while lol. You'd think so, but I mostly tank / logibro. Gotta say that after trying to fly these things, I have a whole new level of respect for dropship pilots.
Moochie Cricket SyNergy Gaming EoN. 444	Posted - 2013.09.05 22:10:00 - [7] - Quote I can give you a beast python fit that only costs 3.5 million SP. 1 shield resistance mod 1 shield booster 2 shield extenders 1 missile damage mod 1 powergrid something (+7% shields, recharge, and pg) Use a proto fragmented missile and max out your small turret skills. With leftover pg you can also fit a proto scattered blaster on one side for a dedicated gunner if you wish.

Well they did mess with the camera so now it's not like this anymore. In my opinion it's only good for strafing runs and would be better as an option.

That honeslty looks about as fast as the Python goes with one afterburner, can't imagine it with two! However, since you are not allowed to fit two afterburners by design this is clearly an exploit IMO. Also entirely unnecessary, you do not need to go that fast to out run swarms or get away from a forge.

In general, it's probably the better option on a Dropship, but I'll be hoping for the missiles if I'm your gunner.

XT-1 Accelerated Missile Launcher has the highest DPS if you can maneuver yourself well enough to get good shots.
