How about including a scanner as standard?
The current issue for Incubus is you choose either afterburner or scanner. They are needed together. Without afterburners an armor dropship is easy prey. Without a scanner the draw distance works against you. Not to mention that they have trouble with off-plane calculations as well*.
I haven't flown Pythons much, since last September frankly. But they have similar limitations.
Just a funny thought.
* if you don't understand the different plane issue, man the railgun turret on the north end of Line Harvest Skirmish. You can see many things but the infantry only rarely. Their icons are there. But as they are below the plane of the mount of the railgun turret they aren't drawn, most likely due to bad math (a CCP constant, chuckle). Thus, a lot of guess work goes into using that turret. Works fine for vehicles, though.
My favorite tank is a Lightning. Just sayin.

I agree to a point.
What I am saying is they are more useful with a scanner, but are so fragile it is barely worth it. In fact with an Incubus, it isn't worth it. Without AB you're dead. Using PRO turrets I have never felt the need for a damage mod or heat sink. More rounds in the clip might change my mind though.
Until I can find some friends with mics to play with again, ADS is my only flying solution. With mics I have my Grimses set up differently.

How do you like the blaster Incubus?
I have one set up but hesitate to drop it until I know who we are playing. And if they are using PRO AV from the get go.

Yeah, I don't understand why the ADS specifically and all dropships haven't gotten any adjustments since the two AV buffs. Just a couple of tweaks would make them somewhat usable versus the near total waste of time, SP and ISK they are now.
Oh well, Welcome to Dust.

Would also like the old afterburners back as an option. They were weird and effective, just in a different way from the new afterburners. The old ones were MUCH more powerful, but gave bursts of speed, rather than a steady boost like the current afterburners do. However, if you weren't careful, they would make you frontflip into the ground at a thousand miles an hour with all that power.
Would you have a youtube link for the old version?
I didn't really start flying until after the change. Well, not with any intent beyond getting to the top of a building.
I would prefer leaving the built-in CRU in the new logo dropships.

Thanks, very funny. And yes, I remember them now. Probably why I killed my self often enough to stick to tanks.
