it's been one of the most rewarding grinds of my gaming experience. if you learn 2 fly dropships the SP sink into vehicle upgrades is extremely rewarding. you slowly watch you DS become more and more powerful as you learn more and more how to fly better, the 2 aspects working together is very cool. i regret spending not one point into it, i'm around 17mil SP into vehicle upgrades, turrets, and ships.
if your an EVE player you will like this because it feels like EVE how your vehicles become more powerful. the last time i had an experience like this was in star wars galaxies i leveled up pilot and ship crafting together. the vehicle upgrades will push your DS into the OP zone when you have 100s of hours of flying to back it up. that extra sliver of shield or armor that is supported from your upgrades will save your ship many times over, you often survive a near catastrophe with a sliver of HP that would not have been there without the vehicle upgrades. it also transfers beautifully to my methana that is not easy to destroy.
it also allows you to fly MLT ships that become difficult to destroy, just like running MLT suits on ground with the SP to back it up.
imo going strait to ADS without vehicle upgrades will not go to well, it's like skilling into a proto suit before anything else- not a good idea. your ADS doesn't have the upgrades to survive outside of academy and you will be wasting isk flying a paper ship.

I figured I'd make the toon, leave it to cook for a couple of months, then give it a whirl once it's got a couple mil sp. But I just want to ask you guys that already specialise in vehicles, is it fun? Do you enjoy it more than playing infantry? Which vehicle is the most fun? Is it even worth my time? I once took out a soma and drove around in Skirmish and was bored out of my mind; is it always like that? Thx! Vehicles are slow and boring, lack module choice, racial variety, and unlike guns and infantry domt hack, cap points, or even have to aim. For the most part it is a skillless endeavor though there are some e skilled pilots. Infantry must do all this AND contend with vehicles. Also in obj based games vehicles roll yolo solo and dont really focus on winning. Just on themselves doing well. Pc they used to be essential, not sure now, havent played a pc in a month.
it's hard to convince PC infantry that my ship isn't complete without my gunner. we average about 4 tank kills per pub. there are some solo ADS pilots who can do the same tho. in the perfect scenario i am transporting hackers and hotdropping AV- we all ambush the tank at once. i started flying before ADS existed so all the support/transport stuff most ADS pilots wont do and flying with a gunner was already normal for me. the nose cannon was just a bonus. if i could prevent blues from stealing my ship i could get out and hack. hot extracts are a thrill for me. yea but then we get another pilot in are squad who solo ADS and usually ends up shadowing us, gets zero kills, and tries to fly really close to us like he wants us to pay him attention for flying like an ass hole.
