Yep, that is easy mode. Spend 500k+, get vulnerability to buildings, gravity, MCCs, MCC Missiles, null cannons, RDVs, rail guns, suicide derps, etc etc
ISK cost should not be a substitute for player skill.
Just because one player spends 500k+ should not mean that it should take a quarter of the other team's players to take him out.
If it only takes one player to operate a vehicle, then one player should be at least CAPABLE of destroying that vehicle.
Otherwise, you throw game balance out the window and might as well just hand the win to whoever's wearing the most expensive suit. |

Not entirely, unless you add "... vesus I don't want my easy mode taken away, because I lack the skill to succeed in a fair fight"
There are two sides to every argument, after all.  |

1. You're right, I did. My bad, that was a knee-jerk reaction, based upon the mention of Dropship price and a different discussion (basically I forgot what thread I was posting in) 
2. For the record, I wasn't referring to a binary system, but rather a balanced system based upon player skill above all else. Let's face it, right now the most effective counter to HAVs are Jihad LAVs, and the biggest threat to Dropships is pilot error, and that's not right or balanced. |
