CCP we all know you hate assault drop ships, since you tried to remove them, but really? Why does the assault drop ship hull have to cost 322k? Is a dropship really that much better than a soma? Or a gunnlogi? A dropship hull cost 4x more than the vehicle that will eventually kill it because tanks rule the sky not dropships.
Regular dropships are affordable but you can't even use those, they don't give you WP like a tank, or hell even an LAV can, blueberries can't even aim with the dropship guns because when the dropship moves the guns freeze and/or instantly jerk forward.
Dropships are so much harder to use than a tank, and for the skill required to use one they aren't that much rewarding. A proto rail can two shot any dropship any day. If anything touches a dropship and by touch I mean poke, massage, caress, the damn thing turns into a fiery ball of death. If any projectile hits you the dropship will tip and fall to its doom, and then there is the new jihad 767 where a player takes a MLT dropship and rams it into yours to cause it to tip and crash. You can't even use a dropship in most matches without having a rail tank on the redline cheap shotting you.
CCP a couple of things need to happen or eventually you won't have pilots left, regardless of anything the impact damage and the destabalization of dropships needs to be severely reduced. From here either or, or both, these should happen assault dropship hull reduced to 70K per hull, or a reduction to rail gun damage, and definitely its range because really? Can my dropship turn around and destroy a gunny?

CCP does not like Assault dropships, they tried to remove them. But because the community said to keep them they got back at us by making it expensive to be a pilot . The biggest problem is the range of the rail gun, a well positioned rail gun can continue to shoot you not only from the redline but while you are also in the flight ceiling, the same applies for forge guns but they have a limit to where they can no longer see you. This doesn't just affect dropships in general but it is a balance issue for AV and other vehicles as well. As for the price, wether or not it is intentional by CCP it is very very unfair to pilots. 70-120K for the hull is much more reasonable than 322K discounting modules which can bump it to well over 500K.
