Since we don't get paid for anything except killing infantry are you surprised that we spend a lot of time killin/trying to kill infantry? Slick maneuver  because armor dropships don't take much collision damage and pythons take sever collision damage it wasn't all that slick. Now if the incubis pilot had feigned a ram then pushed his nose left and swung around over his python while firing his rail and killingbsaid python that would have been a slick maneuver. Nothing really interesting about ramming.
I'm quoting this response because I want to address both of you.
I don't know what pilots you've been watching, or talking to, but I can assure you any pilot worth his salt does more than just go for kills. I could drop 20+ kills without farming a link and still come out on top three in WPs. All these scrub 1.7 pilots who only specced into it because it looked easy sicken me (not calling anyone out in particular). Being a pilot is still hell, especially if you fulfill the five roles correctly. I don't understand how you both think that we're only in it for the kills, or should be, for that matter. A true pilot finds other ways to be useful other than killing.
1) Of course we kill, that is role number one.
2) eradicating enemy equipment.
3) taking enemies off the high ground (it's one and two combined, but on high ground TBH)
4) chasing away enemy tanks (remember those blaster tanks that were harassing you on x map? you're welcome)
5) placing links and hives on the high ground for absolute control.
I can understand how less experienced pilots wouldn't know that role number 5 is actually one of our chief roles, and most important, since most of these new pilots I've seen haven't flown until 1.7 patch. But this role is still a vital role to be filled, especially with my Amarrican logi.
On a sidenote, ramming is a homo tactic, always will be.

I dunno, maybe I have a higher standard for slick maneuvers after flying for over a year with some of the best pilotsin this game.
You sir, have piqued my interest. I happen to just recently gotten lvl 5 python (really should have done this long ago, had lvl4 for longest time), if you're interested in gunning for me or vice versa, contact me, and give me a channel I can reach you.
