I can field 250k Sagaris and have over 5 million isk in the bank.. but that's because I love AV killing more than tank driving. (I leveled the Eryx first, and am hoping for a combat hover-ship soon)
I also hate using the large turrets I'm trained for. Railguns are powerful but I hate the charge-up delay, and the large missle seems really weak. But there are enough of you AV guys now that I end up focusing on staying alive more than I am getting kills.
I've pulled out 230k Eryx 2-3 in a game before, but that was more for fit testing than blowing money.
When combat dropships come out, look out fat boy, I'll be coming for you and your forge cannon. ;) |

I think you misunderstand me, or are unaware of a whole class of military vehicle.
Here's the class of dropship I want:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_helicopter
Dropship doesn't mean "taxi", it has a whole host of roles that it can do.
The current implementation is like the Blackhawk, or older Huey, which is essentially a utility vehicle.

Cheers.
EDIT:

I apologize, I skimmed your reply and didn't notice that you essentially said what I wanted. Sorry about that.
Cheers. |

Will that do?
If you mean VTOL jets like a Harrier, then no. Not at all the same thing.
I welcome them, but want an armed hovership similar to the Apache in Desert Combat mod.

Best helicopter controls out there, imo. Hard, but reallly good. |
