Dropsuit command 5, lav 5, dropship 5

ADS are more than worth their points, as much as any vehicle is at least. Sure they have their weakness, the major one being large rail turrets eat them alive if you fail to notice where they are at. That said it's not uncommon to see an ADS terrorize a team the entire map and never die. Only a few things have a chance of hurting a drop ship and the DS can easily fly away after the first shot or two in most situations. While the AV people are extremely vulnerable to surrounding battle conditions.

I don't know if it's a x8 skill but I would say demolitions is pretty sad. Higher level explosives don't really do much more than the basic, cost a ton more and are harder to fit. The only difference between proto proximity explosives and the basic is you can put down 6 of them at once instead of 4.

Sure you can also put down mines from each category, just like remotes but meh.

As for remotes they do a little more dmg, but the basic is enough to kill most Drop suites and the bonus 300-500 dmg or so to proto level doesn't make much of a difference on harder targets like vehicles. Not if you consider the high cost of running proto explosives. On a suite that has a high chance of dying due to how risky it is to fling remotes around.

to be honest the extra damge makes a lot of difference and for a drop ship pilot with the right set up it can overwhelm tanks (small rails) and help you one shot even more low HP suits (small missiles)

10% total damge right? defiantly worth it for dedicated pilots and coupled with the extra ROF it can be a devastating combo add in a heat sink or damge mod and you have yourself something special

now correct me If i am wrong but I am fairly certain each gives a respective damge bonus to their designated turret (rail for incubus and missiles for python)
