First off, let's look at something real simple: Map size.
The largest maps we have (from redline to redline) is roughly ~1300m. The majority of maps played are not on the largest map, as a fact, most maps are under 600m. Look at Manus Peak and that one 5pt map with the Caldari ship. Both of those maps are incredibly small leaving only one option for evacuation in swarm/forge/rail cases: the roof.
You complain that swarms should be able to catch up to ADS? How about we look at the logistics of everything in the game while we're at it? No? Okay then. Swarms don't have a ******ed speed because the map size doesn't warrant it. You can't expect Dropships to just sit there and tank fire like, well, a tank. Afterburners are literally the only option DS/ADS pilots have to evade incoming fire reliably. Don't QQ about how we can just "AB away!". Maybe if you gave me an armor hardener that negated ~80% damage for a short time and I'll be inclined to follow your logic to this. No? Okay.
Dropships are weak as all hell. The only way one gains survivability is by smart piloting and the afterburner is one such way. Let's also look at why you only mention DS/ADS. What about vehicles who use Nitro? Should they get removed/nerfed as well? Obviously not because it's a vehicle limited to the ground and as such has an extremely limited field of play. Dropships are aerial vehicles and to whomever stated "nerf the flight ceiling", get out. CCP already dropped the ceiling once before and it made DS completely useless even with an AB.
Final point: If the maps were actually big, then a buff to speed/damage/range would be warranted. We still have issues of swarms and rail shots' tracers disappearing causing us to be hit by "nothing". A good pilot is a great enemy. He uses all resources available, and we don't have much.
P.S. - The guy you claimed tanked 10k+ damage probably had max skills into Armor Repair Systems. A complex light armor rep goes from 75HP/s to 95HP/s. at max level.
Dropships need a buff. This way they can stop derping everywhere . ;_;
