Don't get me wrong. It is much better to fly in 1.8 than before. But the problem still remains. 1 ship cost more than I can make in a match. No matter how well I do. Not to mention some of these maps have zero cover for drop ships to use and still be effective. How am I supposed to be a dedicated pilot and not go bankrupt? Someone tell me because I'd like to know. |

Yes, and dropships still suck.... lol Edited OP.  The sad part is most to all of my statement will probably still be true in 1.8......  |

The sad part is most to all of my statement will probably still be true in 1.8...... If ADS costed around 100k i could also if RDV, MMC, and other DS wouldn't insta-kill my DS il be golden O also the annoying redline tankers
I can live with the RDV, MCC, and other DS shenanigans. 50% of the time that's sort of my fault anyways. Those rail tanks gotta go though. Absolutely zero thought on CCPs part in concern to drop ship pilots. How about when I'm hovering trying to get ammo or reps and I get hit by a rail turret from somewhere I can't even see. LAME.
My main problem with this is on this character I only have 7 mil SP. And it's all in dropships. I have zero ground skills on this dude. So when one ******* calls in a rail tank I am basically useless for the rest of the match. And I understand some of you may say, "Well, take out the rail tank!" But that regates the fact that some little ***** in the redline just cost me more money than I could possibly make in the entire match. What is the point in even playing? I have to AFK every few matches just to get another ship and just to get ******* 2 shotted by another red line rail...... So pointless. |

CCP will have a hard time without addressing fighters and they just haven't had time. Alot of people just wanted them to be an Air bus with anti air defense and have the merc's shoot out of it for the ground offenses etc.. http://images.eurogamer.net/articles//a/7/9/4/5/8/0/4.jpg.jpgDS's are still cool just so confused.
I could live with that. Because right now there is no reason to run anything but an Assault DS. Am I really supposed to try (and try is a big word here) to get blues in my ship to ferry them around? For my 7 mil SP investment? Just to save ISK? Does that sound like a fun game? If they could fire from the ship they might be more inclined to not be useless passengers. |

Funny, my Incubus seems to last the longest too. I just can't seem to fit enough tank/hardener and a repper so I constantly have to make trips back to the supply depot. Which would be fine if the supply depot had cover for me to hide while I rep but most don't so I just get killed anyways. |

Someone tell me because I'd like to know. You are a merc, with valuable skills, figure it out.
Why even bother commenting if that's your response? Couldn't that be a response for almost any thread on the forum? What's your endgame? lol |

I fit it with basic armour rep, basic armour hardener, MLT overdrives and I forget wether I have basic 60mm armour plates or not.... Terrible fit
But yet if he runs it at a profit it's suddenly a great fit. Such is Dust..... |

But I have seen an Incubus and Python with dual hardeners xD
I was thinking troll too but I was giving the benefit of the doubt...
I can run duel complex hardeners on my python or incubus. still doesn't equal proift.... |

And most of that was from 1.6.
Winner winner, chicken dinner. We've found someone who is actually making a profit off of piloting drop ships.
Liar.
