ADS are not too squishy. They are harder to terminate than tanks are by being just as tough and moch faster and more maneuverable.
ADS need a resilience buff like the HMG needs to have its optimal changed to 200m. The sky has no cover and it takes almost 5-6 shots from IAF to kill my 5300 shield with hardener gunnlogi, and that is if I dont 2 shot him with my missiles first. You can go from "Hover" to "out of range" in less time than it takes to fire an assault forge with one module. Don't feed me that "Sky has no cover" crap.
This is over exaggerated.
First shot comes when hovering. During the time it takes to assess the situation and activate the afterburner and begin to retreat, you've probably moved all of 20m and are about to take the second shot. The forge has a range of 400m and the Python has a max speed of 125m/s (and don't forget acceleration time from hovering). It takes a FULL SPEED Python 3.2sec to out range a forge shot, plenty of time for another shot.
The only advantage an ADS has is maneuverability and being a difficult target at longer ranges, but that's against the forgers aim and not game mechanics. |

Standard dropships do need a buff. A huge one, especially for the Myron. A base PG/CPU buff is needed for both since it is difficult to make any fit without at least 2 PG mods (and I have shield and armor fitting 4/3 respectively). A base HP increase might also help substantially. As far as maneuverability and speed, I have no problems when using an AB, as I believe every dropship should be using anyway.
ADSs are fine for the most part. The Incubus is perfect if you ask me, but I think the Python needs that that 500 hp buff to be in line with it. If you compared the two, the Incubus is FAR superior tank-wise (by a good 1k ehp) so I don't think it would hurt too much to buff the Python.
I would love my Eryx back, but honestly it and vehicle logistic mods need a total revamp before I think it's worth bringing it back. Things like turret based repairers, better mCRUs, deploy able bubble shields, etc. to make them more than just shiny transport ships. |
