However, if it wasn't for railguns; what would keep you guys in check?
Shooting a ADS with a rail does take some small skill.
ADSes are the most powerful thing in the game, so why complain?
What is with certain players having a delusion that simply nothing should cause them a death?
NO OTHER ITEM IN THE GAME HAS SUCH AN EXPESNSIVE RISK/REWARD RATIO!
seriously, the risk of losing a 100's of 1,000's of isk from a dropship compared to the reward of kill 3-4 ppl is not justified.
Remember;
- normally after the first 2-3 kills one of those people comback with AV (giving you time for perhaps 1-2 more kills)
- 1-3 shots max from a rail tank will kill them (even militia rails). All rails can hit you clear from one side of the map to the other
- you must be within range of AV inorder to use your missiles. you must get relatively still inorder to hit anything with dropships turrets, making you an easy target.
- when AV comes out, even if it doesn't kill you it renders your dropship useless. Either you stay and die or retreat.
Lav's have more advantages than dropships at half the cost. im thinking of just driving one of those around and spamming missles with lav's. they are much more effective

A redline railgunner can use a fit ~70K ISK and three shot me before my Incubus can even turn properly. This is why railguns are unbalanced. Not the fact they can kill - but the kill they give is cheap and you feel cheated. I got a boundless hmg fit that costs 175k. There isn't a damn thing I can do to hurt your dropship but you can 3shot me two seconds after I spawn.
actually, hmg does alot of damage to dropships. when you combine that with AV you can take one hout.

As dumb as it sounds, this is actually true. Yet AGAIN, more towards the Incubus, because yet AGAIN, it does its bonus damage to armor and not shields @_@
thats why i fly shield DS, although not much of a difference, rails strip your shields instantly, and HMG, flaylock, swarms, etc pwn.
the only thing flaylocks actually work on are DS because it knocks them off balance.
serious DS are UP, they are the only vehicle in the game that can be killed in one shot by a flaylock
