While it is a real ISK sink when you train those and learn to fly, a fully prototype dropship is in league with the cost of prototype tanks. And if you reduce the ISK cost, ADS will be cheaper than a prototype tank while being a more tactical asset. This would make no-sense. Please, do NOT reduce the price of ADS ! This would be completely stupid !
And what about starting pilots, like me? It's quite a steep price to pay to learn one role, and as you said it's not an easy thing to learn... My basic A/DS (that is a basic tier A/DS--due to the fact that A/DS are not really tiered--with basic modules and one militia turret) costs me just about 354,750 ISK
Perhaps an actual tiering system for A/DS is in order to define the new pilots, and the veterans as well as the price points of each. |

bogeyman m wrote:Adding a enter/exit delay (a reload animation?) would help reward (all) AV with a kill or assist when destroying a derpship. Currently if a DS hits zero eHP, the time for it to fall to the ground affords the immortal pilot plenty of time to bail out.
The main problem is if we jump out while its falling and die (either becuase we end up unable to use our dampeners or we just get crushed by the ship), it counts as a suicide, and you don't get credit for any of it, aside from just taking down the DS. |

THIS Weapon range means nothing if you can't see the target until you're within 75m or less, well within any AV or turret attack range. Total bull ****, I have been killed by small rail DS from over 150m on several occasions.
Quick note, the splash from rails is being removed, so anyone who is capable of doing such a thing after this change would need to have near impossible accuracy. |

Saying it's nearly impossible to kill someone at 150m with a small rail turret is like saying it's impossible to kill someone at 150m with a sniper... except the sniper has a scope, and is on stable ground...
