Mobius Wyvern Onslaught Inc RISE of LEGION 5428	Posted - 2014.11.12 03:38:00 - [1] - Quote I've learned how to evade Swarms in my Python at least to some extent, but even with a Complex Afterburner on my Myron and 3500 shield hp, it is completely impossible for me to avoid dying over and over. Lows: 2x Complex Powergrid Upgrades Highs: Complex Afterburner Complex Heavy Shield Extender Enhanced Scanner Mobile CRU With the way the Standard Dropships handle I can neither outrun or out-turn the Swarm missiles. I tried to set this fit up for team support, and even if I fit a Hardener that would still do nothing about it being so slow to accelerate that most of the time the person Swarming me has time to reload and keep firing before I can get out of lock range.

The way I run std DS is I use 1 MCRU 2 complex boosters 1 complex hardener 1 enhanced armor rep 1 enhanced power grid... I also have a fit that has 4.4k shields... they both drop down quick as hell.
Nothing Certain Bioshock Rejects 1277	Posted - 2014.11.12 03:49:00 - [3] - Quote I play AV and I agree completely. Killing standard dropships is way too easy. Killing an Incubus is not difficult. Killing a Python still requires some luck. Because, that's why.
Mike Ox Bigger KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 391	Posted - 2014.11.12 03:53:00 - [4] - Quote The key is to fly low, use the buildings for cover, never stay in one place. You're still ****** but I find this helps.

Yeah, you can fit all the defense you want but there's no way to deal with the sheer volume of missiles that are hitting you before you can do anything to try and get away.

Lupus Wolf Minmatar Republic 28	Posted - 2014.11.12 04:11:00 - [6] - Quote The key is to use your psychic powers before swarms engage you. Not that hard, you only need to see a few minutes into the future. When you know where the swarms will be, simply fly back to the redline for a few minutes. Don't try too hard though, your brain will explode. Gunnlogis with BLASTERS!?! BLASPHEMY!!! #MissilesFoLyfe \|: Rail/Missile GL< Blaster GL< B Matty< M Matty< Missile GL :\|
Vulpes Dolosus Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 2531	Posted - 2014.11.12 04:27:00 - [7] - Quote You're using two non-defensive mods over your primary tank and a needless Cplx AB. Maybe that's your problem. Dust is there! I was real! Dear diary, Rattati senpai noticed me today~
Moochie Cricket Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 803	Posted - 2014.11.12 05:05:00 - [8] - Quote I want my Myron to handle like my Python. That would make me so happy. GLORY TO THE STATE
