Attempt number one: i take off and an rdv a pawns inside me.
Attempt number two: I take off, and manage to fly around for a bit, I even snagged my first kill with it. But then I disconnect.
Attempt number 3: I take off and manage stay alive for a while. I harassed a SOMA for a bit while getting feel for the thing. My mods were running low so I decide to loop around the map for them to recharge. Then I suddenly switch to the over view map, and crash into a mountain. A few seconds later I disconnect as if the game tried to rub salt on my wound.
Not too sure if I want to fly again.
PS: I skilled into the python. Heres a hint: the python sucks and this game needs fixing You shouldnt loae anything if you disconnect Collision fix so you cant die ever at full hp in 1 hit

Also you should also have access to the Incubus if you want to try that one out. The "Assault Dropship" skill unlocks all racial assault dropships whereas the "Gallente Assault Dropship" and "Caldari Assault Dropship" skills simply provide bonuses towards those ships. The python is just bad All shield vehicles are Cant hit and run if I hve to hide for a minute

The python is just bad All shield vehicles are Cant hit and run if I hve to hide for a minute The one thing the Python does have going for it is the "Caldari Assault Dropship" skill which can increase the rate of fire of small missiles by up to 50%, which is the only useful turret on assault dropships currently. That is pretty significant if you want to take the time to master the tickier Python. My incubus does much better anyways...

1: Practised a load in normal dropships, so takeoff went smoothly. Began to feel very happy with how smooth the piloting felt. Proceeded to get hit by railtank and be smashed into a tower and die.
2: Dropship shot down from other redline in the initial moments of the match.
3: 'Friendly' tank deliberately drives into dropship and kills it as it deploys.
4: Shot down by rail tank.
5: Shot down by rail tank.
6: Destroy rail tank, another rail tank is called in and I get shot down.
7: Participate in ADS squad. We are all shot down by rail tanks.
Yeah.
EDIT: Also, an excellent ADS pilot was harassing my team the other day in Skirmish. I called in a rail tank and killed him in two shots (which took about two seconds).
Does anyone notice a theme here? if he couldn't evade the 2nd shot he wasn't all that of a pilot, just sayn The op railguns fire too fast and you cant because of the 1.6 climb speed nerf

Rage Racer wrote:I like my Python. If I'm not facing a proto rail tank then there usually is enough time to activate my shield booster, get back to full health and activate the shield hardener.
I also try to stick very close to the ground and always hide behind buildings as best I can. You just have to pay attention not to smash into buildings. If you are flying at 100-200m of height you are making yourself the perfect target.
Still, at a price of 410k for each ship it is quite a challenge to stay ISK positive. You cant be always moving, I really hate when people say "herp derp you were in 1 place you deserved to die" What am I supposed to do, activate my hardener if I want to shoot? No...

Does anyone notice a theme here? Rdvs, shield booster not giving health when I activate it, and rail tanks. The big 3. The big 3 bullshit things that kill my dropship. Forge gunners I can respect, as well as rail tanks that don't sit in the redline and actually come onto the battlefield.....I can respect them for not being pussies but its still far too easy for them. Have you seen how easy pythons go down to forges?

Get close to an objective, activate hardener, kill stuff, and GTFO when hardeners run out. Once cooldown is over, repeat. Maybe you are... *gasp* NOT supposed to hover over an objective farming defenseless infantry without running your hardeners AND get out unharmed once someone starts shooting at you. Because, lets be honest, if it wasn't for the rail tanks and proto forgers ADS would beat the crap out of infantry at the moment. No thanka Im not going to spend half the match doing nothing And defenseless my ass

Ye
And btw I wont activate my hardener is there is no av resistance I'll turn it on and get out if I know there is av I will flee when all modules on cooldown
