Tbh. In this current build, If AVer/s forces a dropship to flee before or during the ads descent to get kills. Then they are fufilling their role as anti vehicle when the dropship has no value to it's team if it's not doing anything but running. In the event that a python/incubus is taken down (which is relatively easy if they don't flee or are to slow retreating) not only is the team hurt by missing a body. The pilots wallet is hurt for 2-4 matches if they run those matches in free suits, And that is just to break even let alone gaining a profit. Most smart pilots will fly to their mcc and recall their dropship to save isk when they feel that the AV is too strong. And that is also fulfilling the role of ANTI VEHICLE as well. A price reduction is needed on the account of assault dropships.

Also buff python shields along with the other shielded vehicles!!!

EDIT: May we look at ads controls with KB/M for legion...Soon TM

A single ADS forcing multiple units into AV gear all but guarantees a steamrolling.

I don't think that this is ok. I'd rather ADS be inexpensive and than be a push-button steamroll for proto stompsquads.

I'd rather ADS be inexpensive and than be a push-button steamroll for proto stompsquads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KNSdD8PYgY That would be true if vehicles were a "Push to stomp button". but as seen in the video, No matter how much they kill and how much AV the other team switches to. The team with the "unkillable death machine" (similar to an ads) loses. Why is that? Because until vehicles can hack stuff (Which will thankfully never happen...Soon TM) They will be always be a force multiplier. And if you take a horrible team and double it's effectivness you get a okay team. But that okay team will never compare to a good team.

Around 320k 1 match without dying will get you close to almost breaking even. 2 matches without dying gains a profit. Roles mastered- HAV/ADS/LDS/Forum Lord/Working on Assault Pinned down?

On this point, are you considering adding ADS to the loyalty store? That might change the dynamic here a little. Would give me a reason to stop curb stomping minmatrash and aid the caldari. Is Z platoon still open for buisness? Also this is a good way to get pilots/more people out of pubs and into fw Roles mastered- HAV/ADS/LDS/Forum Lord/Working on Assault Pinned down?
