Has there been any word on dropships having any progression like the tanks do now? Dropships are one of the most fun things in the game for me, but when I'm out there I feel sooooooo i dunno weak. I just recently specced back into dropships after getting a respec, and it's confirmed lol, they're still pretty bad. I rarely fly a python just because of the fact I can barely survive with it. I have a basic afterburner, complex armor hardener, complex 60mm armor plate, and a complex light armor repper. Care to share any fits?
Okay, I realized this was fairly random lol. Open ended topic, DISCUSS!! haha |

Well...
I doubt CCP really cares enough because the dropship crowd is so small.
I run that same fit (but with a militia AB) and do pretty well with it.

forget reps and go shield regen, its up a whole lot faster and sl's wont do so much to you as long as you don't stay in one spot for long
Python
basic shield hardener
basic light shield booster
basic heavy shield extender
basic 60mm armor plate
I'm not too invested into dropships (not enough sp) but I tend not to die so often and I mostly get done with whatever it is that I need to be done as long as im not pushing my luck I run a mlt MT-1 missile launcher but I recommend using adv or proto if you have it,
I'm guessing you are a whole lot more experienced then I but since ADS does not have adv or proto versions they most likely will not get the progression soon |

Ya I used pythons before i respecced. Wasn't to great with them because of their lack of tank. Ya, it's truly a shame that tanks get so much attention, and dropships aren't even cared about. |

let me put it this way. bringing back maruder and enforcer tanks and logi vehilces were announced in november 2014 and originaly slated to return by December. it wasn't until january that rattati decided to give it a second look. It was march 2015 to change the slot layout of basic tank. And even then only after ratatti started trying out tanks form him self did he think they needed work.
The devs have made it abundantly clear that flying to see whats wrong with dropships as they did with tanks, or adressing ADS pilots is completley of the question. When players come up with threads using Matlab graph algorithims to show how swarms behave, or redesigning turrets to make life easier for infantry and more rewarding as pilot, these get no blue tags.
But as soon as one guy mention a rough day with swarms, the cpm and rattati come out to jmp on his/her back, and claim no pilot ever proposed anything using any data or information whatsoever. They see what they wanna see i guess.
It is a small dev team, so i advise you not to hold your breath. Dropships are the least used, and least liked, and is almost no pilots left to defend them, and as such will forever be scraping the bottom of the priority barrel.
