First off, thanks for keeping it in in 1.7. I think it continues to significantly add something to the battlefield.
Not sure if I am getting better at flying, or it is more maneuverable, but the controls feel superb. Camera is adequate which is supposed to be a compliment! It suffices until we can get full HUD and assorted gui features that are on the request books in many well-made posts.
Missile turret still feels like the only viable option, which is unfortunate for the Incubus. Maybe the bonus could be altered for range on the Incubus to make those turrets better options without touching the turrets themselves. I really want to like the hybrids.
I feel generally good about survivability, with exception of hardiness vs. rail tanks. Maybe a ever so slight buff to hardiness or the slots back (one or both). I would also be game for tweaking the tank rails down on a number of fronts.
It may be my fitting skills, but I cannot put a decent tanking fit together with side turrets -- maybe the slot(s) back could be used for cpu/pg or utility or tank based on personal preference. I think the slots without much boost to cpu/pg would make for some challenging/interesting fitting choices.
One last mention, I think AV was nerfed a little too hard. I don't even sweat swarms now due to range limitations. Actually, forge/ds balance is about right -- maybe they could use a tiny bit of range back after their major nerfs.
ADS pilots, please chime in! |

THANK YOU, Sargon! I am not an ADS driver (don't much believe in arming dropships with solo-operated weapons), but I'm still happy to see players give a flat-out formal feedback on some of these vehicles. We as players complain 12 times an hour on individual items, but hardly give more than one review/feedback a week on an whole subject.
Your feedback was a good read.
I do agree with your points (even if it's from my own LOGI, not ADS, point of view). I too would like to see the future ("high-skill up", "proto" or "logi"?) DS models equipped with the extra PG/CPU as possible built-in bonuses.
And I agree with you that extra slots would be a great bonus for the new models too, because it would allow us to fit the modules that can make the DS more resilient and able to stay in the fight zone just a LITTLE longer.
 Although, Sargon, I suspect CCP doesn't want us to be able to thicken the DS with extra module capacity. They want the dropship to have only a SMALL window of time to do its carnage, after which you have to fly away and come back again later.
...Part of their battlefield balancing strategy. |
