There is no reason why it should be so costly. Basic dropship 45k Assault dropship 323k (costs much more when fully well fitted I believe that specializations for vehicles and dropsuits should be more expensive than their basic counterparts, but it should be like a 20% increase, That's over a 7x increase in price. An assault dropship with only a small turret for the pilot should not be cheaper or cost more than a tank with substantially more HP and firepower capable of ruing the lives of infantry. It is no way ok that being an assault dropship pilot should mean living in poverty. Assault dropship prices need to be severely cut. Well they never die though. They can be tanked pretty well and can hide behind the altitude ceiling, so in effect they have a built-in redline capability - to me that should cost money. Edit: and they are much harder for infantry to hide from than from tanks. I've seen a double-hardened Incubus flown by an expert pilot die to one shot from a Railgun tank stacking Damage Mods. Also, Railgun tanks can just prop themsleves up on hills, rocks, or any other object and point their turrets straight up in the air, hitting a Dropship even at the flight ceiling of the highest maps. Swarms and Forges have enough kinetic kick on their shots that even if they don't actually kill you with damage, they can throw you into the ground or nearby obstacles and kill you that way. They can even fire Swarms at you to bring you close to them, and then call in an LAV and watch the invisible RDV smack you out of the air without you even knowing it's there or being able to avoid it.
Well thats something entirely different and besides I been hearing alot that they are gonna nerf the dmg mods which will fix most the issues with railguns killing dropships so fast anyway |

Case and point, tanks. You can spam tanks because they're easy. Flying an ADS effectively takes quite a bit more skill than people seem to think. It took me at least a week before I could reliably get kills, and I'm still learning even now that I'm pretty dangerous in one. I still can't fight other ADS worth ****.
That was simply a mistake on CCPs part and they always said they are nerfing dmg mods and the pg and cpu on mlt tanks which will limit thier fittings so they can spam them then but they would be alot weaker |

it's not the railguns they should be looking at it's the dmg mods which they are nerfing anyway |

Assault dropship prices need to be severely cut. Look at it in another way: Assault dropships price is FINE, Tanks price is way too low. Otherwise why would people spam MLT tanks in every single f***** game? MLT tank + MLT suit = a lot of kills and potentially little to none ISK loss. MLT tank price GåÆ 250,000 ISK BSC tank price GåÆ 350,000 ISK MLT dropship price GåÆ 150,000 ISK BSC dropship price GåÆ 200,000 ISK BSC assault dropship price GåÆ 300,000 ISK of course all the gear/weaponry should receive a massive ISK cost raise...
Not when they fight me most lose those cheap tanks real quick |

Alena Ventrallis wrote:Honestly, have any of you who are against ADS price decrease actually flown one? For one match? Any takers?
At a minimum, ADS need a price decrease, hands down. 120k would be optimal. They need some more work beyond that, but a price decrease at least means I can fly one without worrying about having to go 2-3 matches to replace it should I lose it.
Yea me and i see no problem with price my tank still costs way more the reason you guys have issues would be that noobs are spamming dmg mods which i heard they nerfing in 1.8 which would mean unless you get hit by a partical cannon you won't die in 2-3 hits |
