ADS didn't got overnerfed, they are "normal" now. Maybe they need some tweaks, but not a big buff of any kind.
They weren't op, swarms back then weren't as good and everyone wasn't running pro commandos. The people that had protoswarms and minmandos back then could nail dropships fine. I remember those times well, a forge gunner and a protoswarmer could put up a massive no fly zone.
Whatever happens with dropships needs to take into account the FUADS factor, they need to be tough because every person that gets killed by an ADS will respawn with AV and mindlessly spam swarms at it till its dead.
Either swarms need to be nerfed against dropships, or dropships need to be buffed.

So much so that the disgrace of a pilot that started this thread would rather land his dropship and fire swarms at another ADS than engage in a dogfight or swap dropships, scum bag only deserves to be rammed.

if they got the increased pg and cpu to make use of another slot that would be great, i'd love to have an extra high slot on an incubus, currently i just call it the afterburner slot cause i'd rarely consider putting anything else there.
Don't fly the python, cause shields suck and I bump into stuff far too often, but i'm sure an extra low slot wouldn't go astray on one.

Slightly related subject, has anyone else noticed that swarms seem to calculate how hard they will hit you based on your resists when they are fired rather than when they hit?
When i'm flying lately i've taken to activating my hardeners before entering the swarmfield because of the above, waiting to activate the hardeners when you hear the swarms fired seems to end in you taking full damage from them even though you've turned them on.

pfft zitro was a ragey overgrown pimple, like a lot of the pros he was only as good as squad mates that enabled his style of play.
And I get the feeling your claiming prodropship status from the time that dropships were ridiculous killing machines that could rain death from the flight ceiling with missiles that had a huge explosion radius. Which is about as relevant as me claiming to still be an expert slayer post chromosome / expansion that told mouse users to **** off.
