I wish Judge were here.
@Soraya: Only OP thing I saw was the skill stacking Python, which as a pilot pre-Delta I found abhorrent and abusive.
It's not like they pulled AV on him, except for one MLT swarm at the supply depot. Even a 0 SP Soma can produce results like that if there's no AV. You want to nerf 0 SP Somas too? While you're at it, you should make all swarm launchers fire null cannon missiles.
Oh wait, that would still require using an AV weapon to fight a vehicle. Make all the rifles fire null cannon missiles instead. Keep flying, Cam! Dropships are not useless, despite what some may tell you. With the proper amount of skill and teamwork we are still lethal.
That's right Gurrrrrl we strong! We don't need no man!

Do people really feel that ADSs are underpowered, or are you pushing a personal agenda?
Honest answer. It entirely depends who you're talking to.
My opinion, it will take a bit of... how shall we say, time to explain.
The rail incubus got it in the butt... hard. I can say nothing more on that.
My next issue is this, the rocket incubus is still better than the python, here's why:
The rockets has a raw ROF of 1.20 seconds, let's take a look at what that is on the python:
Python Rof: 1.20-.18=1.08
incubus ROF: 1.20
It has a minimal ROF difference for the SP cost of a proto suit.
Next issue, despite being more resistant to most meta forms of AV, Python is still vastly outclassed by incubus:
You'll have to look at the below fits to see what I'm talking about.
My incubus fit
My python fit, I call her Laira
As it is right now, the incubus can fit all proto modules on low and high with level 4 armor optimization. You'll have to take into account protofits hasn't yet put the reduced PG/CPU of the turrets, which is why I put points into optimization, which aren't needed at all.
My issue is that no matter what I do, I cannot fit all proto modules on my python. No amount of fitting optimizations or vehicle shield optimization will help. Admittedly, I have shield OP at 3, but I didn't need more than 2.
Next issue at hand, despite the python being resistant to most forms of meta AV, the tank on the incubus more than makes up for it.
The regen on the incubus is instant, where on the python I have to wait a few seconds to get the regen kicking, admittedly it is more per second, but that 3-7 seconds my python is out of shields, she's screwed if a sniper shoots my unshielded hull (yes, light weaponry has full effect on shield ADS armor). the incubus does not have this issue.
An incubus may be slower, but by sinking SP into that skill that lowers the weight of plates (I don't remember the name), it can be lowered to 5%, which on an ADS is negligible.
My other issue is collision damage. We all know incubus can fly into walls without a problem sometimes, but do that crap with a python and you'll be singing "the roof is on fire" pretty quick. Especially on that God forsaken Gallente research facility, the collision is completely ridiculous on that map.
So my honest question to you is this. If you were a diehard pilot, which makes more sense to fly?
I still fly the python out of principle, but I think the evidence speaks for itself.
My honest answer to your above is this, I do have a personal agenda on this, but I do believe it is a well founded personal agenda.
