Well, considering my 360,000 + isk investment per ship, i'm increasingly just calling in a 60k Viper and a militia heavy with flux nades to clear AV nests instead. The viper can tank more damage than the incubus, done right i can recall my viper, and i dont have to go play ambush for 45 minutes to earn back each ship lost.
Clearing out 10-15 uplinks a macth for 50 - 75 wp, and maybe a couple kils means you wont place high enough to pay off you ship for several games even if you haven't lost it, nor do yo contribute enough WP for an orbital stike. Its pureley a tactical advatage that becomes moot once swarms come into play.
If you keep your ship alive to get a return on your investment, well, your KD goes up and you are now considered OP. If you lose three ships in one match but you eject every time your KD still goes up and you are still considered OP.
the only pilots that are sticking around are either the ones who actually love flying, or the ones who thought AD's was OP and give it go. I can tell those by their 2K armor incubus with a hardener, they go down very quickly and never return to the skies.
You'll never know till you give it a go. Don't take my word for it.

then again...
i just remembered there was a python doing insanely well in a proto stomp. shot down my forge gun suit right as it spawned. so there's still that.
No worries from this pilot about you pulling out proto forge guns, sure I don't like em but that comes from a place of respect. You got good aim and you caught me, or I threw you off whilst watching those blue balls of death wizz past my cockpit.
You don't have to be proto fit ADS to survive a fight with a forge gunner, its skill vs skill. Vs swarms bad dev choices takes over for both parites. Pilot evasion "skill" still amounts to afterburning away, not to escape missiles in flight but to escape lock on range of the follow up volleys.

If the pilot had actually out run your swarms, so he didn't need to come back repped did he?
If i catch a single militia swarmer alone, my xt-1s will eat you alive. Only i have to wait until the missile hits to know wether or not you're militia, by then i've already afterburned halfway across the map, took the hits and realized they weren't not so bad, waited for the afterburner to cool down, then returned to make a pass in the area i thought you were, try to identify you're non rendering self by any nano hives in the area which render at greater distances, try to make a pass to either get you or the nano hives, try to avoid any hanging cranes or obstacles that render even lower than that, and identify you by watching you fire more missiles at me, so either i pull it off, or get ambushed by a full av nest, explode instantly or roughly 400m away making my escape.
God mode easy.
