"wah 300K isk isnt cheap enough for ADS!!!!"
Yeah. I think they're just in shock about the ISK. Probably mildly annoyed that the new Caldari Facility is almost useless for vehicles.
Although I know there's going to be a large percentage of them pissed that EVERYONE is running their proto AV now.

No real difference to vehicles or AV and the new maps cater to infantry. Nothing to really say about 1.9 for the pilots.
Though the new Toxic mood does make for some wonderful combat, both on the ground and off~

Finally got a few games in. (ADS pilot btw)
mCRUs are somewhat useful, I've even put them on my Python to good effect. To keep cycling blueberries, I usually go to a spot where I know they will be tempted to jump out (tall buildings, structures, near an objective, etc). +50WP is pretty good too, and I'm not sure, but I'm assuming there's some WP cap to prevent abuse.
On the subject of teamwork, active scans are amazing for a pilot. Please, if you see an ADS on your team, use an active scanner.
That said, enemies are still not rendering right. They'll still take a second or two when within a reasonable range to render. Even with a chevron above them when scanned, it will still lag out a bit and not show exactly where they are. Swarms are still invisible sometimes, but I haven't payed too much attention to that so I don't know if it's a major problem or I'm just not focusing on them.
Other than that, I've changed up my flying style a bit to be more kite-y, staying out of that 80m scan range and raining hell from above. When people scan I try to provide support either by taking out links or people. When people spawn in me I try to accommodate them as best as I can (I once accidentally flung a heavy into the redline so I went and picked him up).
Honestly, pretty happy with 1.9 so far. (Those payouts are a nice touch too)
Also, swarms are still swarms, nuff said about that.
Dust is there! I was real!

It's been great with the ISK payouts currently being outrageous--you could easily lose 3 tanks with proto turrets (about 425k or so) and still come out with positive ISK flow!

My Lightning is working fine. Thanks for asking. 
Oh, you mean Dust514 and the famous 1.9. Haven't turned on the PS3 in a month or so. Later this week, maybe. If my friends are on.
My favorite tank is a Lightning. Just sayin.

Thats a mistake! just solo it! my first match was solo and i ran into a DAAAA BEAST, Shayz, Troll arc and more gentleman who happened to have one empty spot. I hopped in and enjoyed them delicious payouts. 1.5 mil a game at most.

So far in 2 of the games I've played using ADS ill randomly lag and then get bombarded by every thing AV it seems, also when i do AV i can hear the drop ships but i wont be able to see them it seems that there is a rendering issue on both ends ill get slammed by missiles i look up and spin around and nope nothing,

Tinfoil hat time
CCP goofed on the isk payout thing purposely to get more ADS in the air to collect more data VS swarms.
Or not.

Haven't really tried tanking on the new maps but I have flown a few sorties on the one where A is in the massive hanger, that map is hella fun for my python. I could almost feel the surprise of the reds when I flew in there with a good squad I happened to pick up, gunners did a damn fine job clearing the cat walk, then they all deployed to take A. Was pretty damn epic.
Chevrons seem to be rendering better as well as swarms, though there is still the occasional invisible swarm on toxic mood maps but that's to be expected. Being able to see ram ships further out on radar is very nice. The only thing I've been noticing is a lot of proto swarms, which means a lot of flying in circles, and turrets seem to have godly AI and turn radius, locking and firing at insane ranges and tracking me when I'm going full burn. Aside from that its pretty good.
