Cause of you guys, who invest so much time and ISK to make us all get point A to point B safer or giving us that support of that jackass on a tower with missiles, I'm not thanking those who spawn camp with vehicles but who go out of their way to support their fellow mercenaries. I can never manage to master vehicle (especially dropships) controls, so I give big props  |

went dropships until they fix the gungame.
one myron: "BEAST" 3650 shield points/28 recharge, x2 XT-1 missle turrets, %12 dmg mod
second myron: "FIST" 2896 shield points/26 recharge, x2 XT-1 missile turrets, %12 dmg mod + %10 dmg mod
Eryx: "DROPSHIP" 2315 shield points/24 reccharge, x2 XT-1 missle turrets, shield booster, %12 dmg mod
if you see a dropship hovering low, slow and tanking it's a good chance it's mine. my gunners usually get like 15/0 unless the other team locks it down with multiple AV.. i fly it like a hover tank until it takes too much fire then i must evade
get on I always drop down to try and pick up ppl especially in the Non-eryx because I don't equip a CRU/spawn on those (the eryx has a built in one) |

So it's you who is always chasing my LLV (futily, as it has more hp than your drop ship :O )

Armor tanks work better. I even sacrificed the extra CPU and PG to use the Logistic ship and have a CRU.
My record is 8 games with out losing a dropship while being in the heat of the action. I only get killed when there are multiple forge gunners in one game shooting at me, SLs are no problem.
Dropship piloting is the most enjoyable thing to do in this game. |

no i try to pursue softer targets such as infantry,, my gunners on the other hand have other things in mind, will work out better once i get a new mic |

i kinda feel like I wasted alot of points on the eryx... i was expecting it to be as good or better shielding but I don't see much advantage in it except I get about 200 extra shield points than a myron with a CRU, for a crap load of sp spent |

You have an extra slot where the CRU would have been on a regular Myron. Getting gunners will be easier due to the CRU. |

AWww! someone noticed!~ 
and yeah armor tank is better, but makes you slower ill sacrifice survivability for speed and damage... every time I hop in a dropship this comes to mind
speaking of speed and damage *cough* Minmatar dropships *cough*.... |

every once in a while you get someone who isnt as self absorbed in their **** as some notable others and actually will thank you for your hard work and efforts to be a competent teammate...
Whether or not you were adressing players such as i, i think i speak for us all when i say thank you and i look forward to future matches in-game. +1 |

Yeah the Eryx is not anywhere as good an upgrade as the Sagaris/Surya is. It's only really good if you want a CRU, since it gives you an extra slot, and even then the stats are barely an upgrade. I hope combat dropships have a better upgrade path. The CRU is really good for getting gunners though.
That said, I don't enjoy piloting a tank, they're too slow and cumbersome for me. Dropships are a blast to fly.
I think I might try Prometheus next time, and just focus on shield resists. Anyone out there tested both and want to speak up, or Prometheus pilots want to share their best fits before wipe?
After a lot of testing, with every item in game, my favorite battle tested Eryx fit is as follows:
High Slots (Weapons):
2x XT-1 Missile Launcher - 19 CPU / 77 PG - Small Missile Turret Proficiency I (Small Missile Turret Operation V)
Mid Slots:
1x Clarity Ward Shield booster - 57 CPU / 76 PG - Shield Operation III
1x F45 Peripheral Damage Control Unit - 19 CPU / 0 PG - Engineering III, Mechanics III
14% Armor, 14% Shield Damage Reduction
2x Ward Shield Amplifier - 39 CPU / 0 PG - Shield Adaptation III (Shield Operation III, Engineering II)
25% Shield Damage Reduction (each)
Low Slots:
2x Local Power Diagnostic System - 25 CPU / 0 PG - Energy Grid Upgrades IV (Engineering II)
7% PG Bonus, 7% Shield Bonus, 7% Shield Recharge Bonus (each)
It can take a hell of a beating, probably 3-4+ Proto FG hits and with all the resist, the repper brings back a ton of EHP (effective hitpoints). |

I'd suggest trying shield resists if you can before the wipe. I think you'll like them. |

YUP!!! +1 for sure! damage control would be great if you cared about your armor in an Eryx but you should prolly put on the amps if you want to really make your shield tough.. The Eyrx is like the Drake imo ~ Passive shield tank with crap loads of extenders

having experienced pilots in this game is epic when they are on your side. when im in a game with a pilot who has a mobile spawn dropship ill hp in as his gunner and focus on all the av troops on the ground so that he can live a little longer.
i know i cant fly a dropship so for those of you who took the time to learn i give you mad props, unfortunately you can only do +1
(but ill still hate you when your not on my team :P ) |
