My Incubus used to be called Leviathan

Now I just call it what it is; Trash

Im still fond of my Gorgon, Zola

Because it's garbage. Ive been a dedicated Gallente pilot from the very beginning. They've always been the underdog compared to caldari ships, but they were serviceable. Now, they are outclassed on every single front by the Python

Those who believe Incubus small rails are better AV than Python small missiles tell me just one simple thing: they can't aim. Leading a moving target is too difficult for them, so they falsely believe the hit scan rail to be superior. It isn't. When two actually talented pilots face off, there is very little time that each pilot can apply his dps before loosing LoS. Therefore with adequate aim, the burst damage of the Python coupled with no overheat makes it the superior AV option. While yes, the new racial bonuses are negligible and not much is lost by fitting a missile to the Incubus, it does nothing to address the fragility of the craft.

This doesn't even touch on survivability, which the Python far exceeds the Incubus. Any pilot worth his salt can see that if they wish to compete, they HAVE to defect to Caldari.

So long as Rat is at the helm, this is unlikely to change.

Lmao if you think Incubus is more survivable than Python hahaha.

I have far more than enough flight time under my belt to draw my own conclusions, but please, by all means, keep flying your Incubus. More WP and less competition for me :)

1. Plates affect speed
Python strengths in ADS v ADS:
1. Hardeners are more effective than Incubus, albeit shorter duration
2. Has an advantage RoF wise
3. Has an advantage over main tank of Incubus (missle profile)
4. Has no overheat on missiles
5. Has native resistance on main tank versus rails (blasters... don't count for obvious reasons)
6. More maneuvarable
7. Better in CQC than blaster or rail Incubus (really?)

Now, none of this can change until more anti shield weaponry is released, so this will be an ongoing problem.

Particularly that "vehicle specialist" bit

From what I've seen, the missiles shoot faster. But I am not sure. Anywho, because of the resistance shields has on it, the advantage on ROF is brought down, and is equalized or even surpassed because of the missile's effectivity versus the armor of the Python.

And why would you say causing armor damage is more beneficial? I'm very curious to see the reasoning.

I also can't see the accuracy point. They are both pinpoint accurate.

I used STRICTLY Gallente vehicles since I joined in March 2012 up until just recently

I would love nothing more than to not despise my Incubus
