I can tell you one thing for sure. It is not friendly to beginning pilots that they should pay so much. The only way I can even fly is in transport, and for as long as I don't have a group that will take advantage of that I won't be contributing to my team at all. All I can do right now is float around looking pretty. It most certainly isn't easy to aim these things.
The best I can do now is simply annoy some blaster tank until he realizes I'm not even a minor threat. Practicing is costing me so much I hardly ever get to do so. I don't even put modules on my ship, and fit it only with turrets. When I finally get a bead on something, I get hit and have to retreat or i'll go down blazing, assuming I can even stabilize my ship before it crashes into something.
150k ISK would be a good price in my opinion, or otherwise make more variants of the ADS, so that a new pilot can pay for their practice without breaking the bank. Remember it's not just Pro pilots out there. There are of course those of us who want to learn but can't afford to. And in reply to the "Rail tanks are the only defense against them" thing, I have been shot down by a Rail tank ONCE, I can't even tell you how many times I've been killed by a swarm, a forge, or even a large blaster installation. The only way I've found to survive for even just a few seconds longer is to use shield hardeners, and shield boosters, again assuming that I don't get thrown sideways into an environmental hazard (otherwise known as any tangible thing on the map).
Though I can actually use the nose gun for the purpose that is described for it, dogfights. Not that it's common to even see another airborne unit in the first place.
I'll keep trying to learn it regardless of how many times I lose the 360k aircraft. (Python fitted with 3 MLT Missile turrets, 1 MLT shield booster, 1 MLT shield hardener, 1 MLT mobile CRU {i know someone will criticize me for it}, and one Enhanced PG upgrade.) Keep in mind that the cost of the vehicle without anything on it is about 323k ISK, and deploying without modules is just asking to be shot down. I want to applaud everyone who has mastered one of these amazing beasts of warfare, because it is not an easy task at all. |

Yeah, I've pretty well found out that it isn't easy, I knew that going in. Thanks, I'll check it out. |

Nobody asked you to train into them, "If you can't stand the heat, BLAH BLAH BLAH".
May I remind you that there are no tiers of vehicles... No proto, no advanced, just basic. If I there were, and I had wanted a proto ADS, I'd pay for a proto. As it stands, we don't have that sort of choice. An ADS is certainly not a dropsuit. As well, may I ask if you are basing the price off of the suit itself, or are you also counting all of the weapons, modules, and equipment?
I also want to point out, that by your logic we really need to drastically up the prices on regular dropships, LAVs, and HAVs. |

This makes sense to me, it's not a brilliant improvement, but it is an improvement. |
