They are fun. I just wish some people would leave me be. Let a man fly in peace people! Especially those annoying people who try and ram you. I know the Incubus is more stable, but don't do it, man. Python for life! The squirmyness is actually just the Python's light weight and higher agility. The Incubus goes faster in a straight line, but the Python will fly rings around it.
The Python is hands down the best dogfighter, mainly due to its superior ability to climb. I can out fly many Python pilots in my 4881 armor Inky when we are decreasing altittude, but I can never get my gun high enough in a climb to connect with a Python if the guy is paying attention. I would imagine the Python is a better tank killer as well, especially with the Caldari ADS bonuses.
All that said, the Incubus is THE choice for anti infantry. As Awry mentioned it is nice and stable, not only when manuvering, but even when getting hit by things like forges there is less movement transfered due to its weight, its ability to stack armor obviously makes it more survivable, which lets you stay lower and remain on site longer. I personally don't run reps, so I have no cool downs to wait for or mods to activate. Obviously serious damage requires a retreat to the supply depot, but 4800+ armor lasts a suprisingly long time as long as i'm not flying stupid.
I think both ships have their own positives and styles, and both can be massivly effective in the proper situations. I think it comes down to what kind of flying you want to do. I'll get into the Python one day for sure, but I love flying my iron brick as low and fast as I can, then parking over a spot and raining devistation while I soak up damage.

Yeah, must be fun to be an invincible deathdealer, killing people on the ground who cannot shoot back at all (seeing as how tanks can't elevate their turrets high enough, and AV isn't effective enough to prevent you from just activating an afterburner and lifting off at lightspeed and be able to outrun swarm missiles with ease), and only have your own tunnelvision and incompetence to fear since the only way non ADS pilots can shoot you down is when you're not paying attention. Yeah, God-Mode must be hella fun!  Btw, aren't you late for making yet another tired thread where you try to push for making dropships even more invincible and overpowered than they are already?
Wow, someone got their feelings hurt.

I was flying over the enemy MCC before and for reasons I don't know I just went from full health to zero. I didn't hit it. I was really far above it. No RDV came in and one shotted me. Confused as to what happened :\ u were hit by the null cannon round that fires down on the MCC That is so bullshit that something like that can insta kill you. I just died to it again a couple minutes ago. What's interesting about Dropships is that things like that and RDV's instant killing you will, probably, never be fixed. Because so few people fly dropships because of the cost that the complaining will never reach a point where CCP will feel the need to do something about it. And, well, RDV's killing you have been a problem since the closed beta and they haven't done a single thing about it. So, it may never change, knowing CCP.
I would expect a missile designed to penetrate the armor of an mcc would instantly vaporize a dropship. And while instant death when you touch an rdv is a bit much, they are easily avoided, so no big deal.
