Only CCP would think that buffing the easiest to use, most flexible (good vs infantry and vehicles at all times), fastest, most agile ship that takes virtually no bonus damage from any AV weapon, would be a good idea.

My game is uninstalled so I can't check, can someone list the new proposed base HP of a Python vs the base HP of an Incubus?

Your b!tching about 500 shields? Are you serious? first off if you want to be able fit anything on a ADS you need to use a pg/cpu mod which takes away from any extra hp an ADS could use. Second 500 shields is nothing when a militia DS can just tap a ADS and destroy it. Third at over 300k isk for just an ADS not counting turrets, and mods an ADS should be a bit more durable then what it is now. Have you ever even tried to fly a python? I doubt you have or you would not be such a whiny cry baby right now. Before you try and insult people who have had to invest more sp into their ADS then you ever had to for your drop suit, by calling them scrubs, try getting good at avoiding the ADS so they don't kill you as much, since a militia FG can scare away any shield based ADS at any time.
Python is the scrub ship that actually takes skill in order to die in. Buffing it just caters to bad players.

@ dust fiend, I'm very surprised that your still moaning about pythons being better. I have encountered a few incubus who were smart enough to actually fit for a gunner and destroyed with it. The rail gun with the incubus skill (not even stacking) makes it perfectly viable against infantry and makes it an absolute monster against vehicles of any kind. Much more so than a python could hope to achieve. Incubus aren't slower than pythons, their speed is exactly the same, in one engagement I had both my python and the hostile incubus burning towards the ceiling and the incubus burned much higher and much faster than my python.
A python is as 'scrubly' as an incubus.
Incubus are in fact slower, as their listed speed and in game speed implies. An Incubus with an afterburner will move as fast as a Python without an afterburner. They also have the privilege of accelerating slower, and adding any extra HP slows you down even more. Fitting a side gun is all well and good but again, if you want to use that rail vs infantry you're relying on them not having much / any AV presence. Sitting still in a ship that's bigger, slower to accelerate, slower at top speed, and that takes bonus damage from virtually all AV, while having more pronounced weak spots = losing ISK. Also, missiles destroy Armor tanks better than railguns ever will, and they only do marginally worse vs shield tanks than rail guns. The only thing small railguns excel at over small missiles is killing pythons. That's it.
I'm just over here laughing that the easiest most rewarding ship got buffed further.
