Rail gun tanks are about the only thing keeping ADS's in check at the moment. Swarms are a joke to a good dropship pilot, and forge guns, while relatively effective, take about three shots to kill a dropship, even without its' hardeners. If the piloting system was more like Battlefield, or rather, the ejection system, you could perhaps RE a dropship, but the ejection mechanics suck in this game, so meh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut5ljm9vw7c&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLf9aY0O5ldbKK894JfQ65I8r-wkpuFWFa Short story short, I don't think they're OP, the skill required to use them and the Isk invested sort of balances things out, but at the moment, there's nothing else that can really kill a good dropship pilot short of ramming and rail gun turrets. Even concentrated AV fire is shrugged off in most cases, with multiple proto forge gunners being about the only thing that can make a dropship pilot fly for the hills. Sometimes I miss never seeing tanks in a battle... then I remember the mystical flying soma, and I can't help but smile.

Funny how HAVs are deemed OP but ADSes are apparently complete death traps incapable of accomplishing much and get shot down just by looking at them... People in this thread are defending ADSes but in other threads talk about how to good tanks are. I guess everything is OP until it comes to whatever you use........ Boopships? Though I actually did see an ADS get shot out of the air a few days ago by forge guns. Horrible pilot though, considering I did most of the damage with a militia forge gun and he never flew away. Still didn't get the blasted get, just some lame kill assist. Speaking of which... why do we get more points for killing a militia soma that costs less than 100K than we do for killing an ADS that costs half a million? Sometimes I miss never seeing tanks in a battle... then I remember the mystical flying soma, and I can't help but smile.
