Why don't you instead of complain that you are the bottom of the barrel (which is untrue) just propose numbers. This dropships +X, this Dropship +Y, swam launcher range - X. 2 pages of feeling sorry for yourselves is not going to help at all.

For example:

This Shield Hardener cost really messed up my fittings as I rely on them to tank 3 shots with X. Is it possible to increas PG by 10 because the nerf was meant for triple hardened Gunnlogis.

Thanks,

Not gonna lie last time we tried to explain how to balance ads with av you chose to listen to Av over actual pilots and the result now is the almost never escaping swarms that can 2~3 shot us. Well at least xeno what his face isn't here going on about how every ads is going 80/0 Roll

You really want to bring that up as "ads pilots being the victims" Roll

. The result is actually not terribly OP dropships that still have a place in PC, and good pilots can easily go 20 KDR in pubs.

A few Plasma Cannons, not to mention a missle turret and blaster. We all lit the thing up, it turned flew around a building and popped back out, full shields and armor and continued to destroy us. I think the guy went 20 odd/ and 4. Im not saying dropships are in a good place or they shouldnt be looked at, but give it some time. The way I see it any buff for assault dropships would make them op to infantry, technically you're not supposed to be able to kill a proto tank with an ASSAULT(lightwieght low health/ hit and run tactic) dropship. If a tank killer is what you want, wait for CCP to release heavy dropships. Impossible! One shot from a PLC user will make a python GTFO or pull range. Even a standard PLC is dealing substantial shield damage right now. I don't use the python often but I know from past experience that around 3k shields give or take is what most have. One shot of the PLC is nearly half that, hit them in the sweet spot on their thrusters and its even more damage (Before hardeners of course, if they even fit them now?) On top of that you say you had 4 people firing with swarms, a missile turret and blaster........ that's enough damage to kill it outright on the first salvo isnt it!? lol Vitantur Nothus wrote: Why hide a solution under frothy pile of derpa?

I agree mostly with what you have said HOWEVER - I have to be bluntly honest and say it is a long time since I saw an ADS pilot do as well as that in a pub match. Anecdotal evidence of course.
