Honestly speaking, like in most threads you open your mouth in, you don't have a ****ing clue what you're talking about Za'ki. Assault dropships were never 'god mode'. Pilots who could pull insane KDR's with dropships were either some of the very best pilots around, or they were exploiting a bug.
I can tell you don't know what you're talking about, because you seem to think that the 'anti-vehicle' dropship that was the incubus is in a good state when it *cannot kill anything with the weapons it actually has a bonus to even with all level 5 skills*. You get SEVEN shots off with a level 5 incubus, which isn't enough to drop the shields on most other vehicles. Of course you wouldn't know this because you've never ****ing been in a vehicle.
Vehicles currently have an even higher skillpoint investment, and significantly higher base cost per 'life' (and the average lifespan of a vehicle is about four minutes - for two to four matches worth of isk) for significantly less options or depth than an infantry player with comparable skillpoint investment. It has seemingly been decided by people who don't use vehicles that their role should be solely anti-vehicle, when they aren't being a WP pi+Ķata for infantry.
The absurd KDR's were mostly rarity for vehicles - people may scream LOUDLY about tanks and dropships getting 20-30 kills... but when a proto infantry player does it? Nothing is said at all - and I guarantee you it is *far* more common to get absurd scores as an infantry player than it is as a vehicle specialist.

It either is or it isn't Soraya. You're flip-flopping on the issue. If 'consumables' are designed to make people go deeply isk-negative in a match should they lose them, they should certainly be powerful.
