meh i am full specced pilot all my points into that and i can't even fit a meta 2 gun or a meta 3 suit of any kind.
so with all these free ships/tanks no one wants to use the fully fitted promethus, grimness, myron, eryx (however you spell them) yes i am specced into shield and armor side of both dropships and tanks. if i bring out a dropship look nothing but 100k (probly more but isk isn't real hard to get) isk flying around with no gunners. i roll out a tank though whole different story the guns stay full. so i get bored wait till i see swarm or forge guns flying my way since these ppl tend to stand in one place usually near a nano hive or supply depo. then the hunt begins oh the fun of circling around coming in low behind there known posistion and ew i think my oversized flying shoe has a mushy spot on the bottom of it. (notice they do look like shoes!) if i miss oh well press circle while my promethus drifts off and there still aiming at it, and put a basic shotgun on the back of there head and ew! if nothing that exciting going on the fly above draw distance checking the tops of towers crushing snipers or knocking off dropships since the gorgons usualy exploid after a full speed ram while i limp off at 1/2 armor.

fun fun

Dropships are fine.
Squishing is fine.

It takes relatively few gun shots from a turret, tank, other dropship, LAV, forge gun or SL to kill a dropship.

Militia dropships are not fine.
