Yeah, my Python costs about the same. But I don't know why you're worrying about how expensive they are when you have a ton of money. I only have 10mil. I should be the one worrying.

I do have to admit, they need a upgrade! A small bump on anything and I'm already on at least 1/2 of my Shield, I have a max of 2k shield. They took away the ability to have 5k shield on ADS's, which was dumb. Tanks on the other hand are super overpowered. Degrade them!

Assault Dropships are OP enough as is, they just need better collision damage. In the Lag City the tiniest bump can instantly destroy your dripship. I can be doing 1m/h and blow up on colllision.

I'll have to disagree except for the collision part. ADS are only op at rare times.

I've seen Foxhound Elite go like 40+/1 with a Python and I was dedicating myself to only kill him in that match, needless to say it didn't go so well for me, I spent millions of ISK trying to bring him down event with the cheapest tactics at some point and I failed. Tell me again how they are not OP in the right hands? You don't balance stuff around noobs, or even average players, you balance stuff around those that excel in using what they use. If you balance something around average player then those who know what they are doing will be unstoppable.

PS. Foxhound if you are reading this, GG again. Big smile

Foxhound if you are reading this, GG again. just saw this now. cheers for the kind words. also, GG. Regarding the prices, it's not 'noob-friendly' but then again, the Assault variants should only be flown in the hands of somebody who's well used to flying a standard variant, or militia, and can safely land / take off. In my view, once a player has got this down, they then should be able to get an Incubus or a Python and be pleasantly suprised that it's easier to fly, making them much more effective. At that stage, price shouldn't be an issue because if you fly right, you should be raking in the ISK, not burning it because you've put yourself and your ship in a high-risk situation.
