ok then you guys want the best fit I have come up with so FAR I'll give each and everyone of you the fit but it will only work with your own skill added on

I got a myron with 3 shield amps on which each take off 25% dmg but what ever penalty their is and 1 shield extender plus with my shield management skill at around lvl 2-3 I got around 2600 hp on shield and got a armor booster plus with skill puts it at around 1900 armor you don't need this but you can have it to help and a merc piece of **** 10% amp on that and I use the At1 rockets so gunners hurt like a ************ when they hit something or someone now if you want more speed add instead of the armor and armor amp put the chassie upgrade which lowers armor for more speed the rest depends on you and your piloting skills now me I can at last and outrun swarms all day long as long as I don't make a mistake or use bad judgement but there are a rare few who happen to get me and I will say this with this setup even the ******* railgun instalation needs at least 3-5 shots to get you to armor so tanks are not to big a threat unless you let them get to where they can hit you :P enjoy guys I hope to see more in the air to **** around with but I will say this I am working on other possible builds so if you keep in touch with me I might give you a better one and I can come up with builds for more than just a dropship so just ask and I may be nice like this :P

BYE NOW :P :P :P

With the penalties one of those resist mods is only doing about 14.25% resist. If you can use the high quality DCUs they have a 14% resist bonus to shields AND armor while costing WAY less CPU.

After the over9000 Gamescom battles and some puking passenger, I was able to achieve simple flying and few loops and barrel roll without closing them with a faceplant. I feel that new controls are more rewarding when mastered...even if I still feel like that http://tinyurl.com/dropshipzz The controls are just fine the problem is no matter how good a pilot you are if you get hit you get flung so hard upside down its impossible to recover from. I masochistically like that as well. Acting "like a bus" after a swarm launcher it's kinda unnatural :p it's not as bad as they think cause 90% of the time I get flung from swarms I can AND DO recover before I hit the ground but I'm one of the few who have learned and mastered the new controls hell I can fly under the pipes again but I don't always get flung do to swarms sometimes they just do dmg and just recently I was able to survive 90% of a skirmish match with just 1 dropship the Whole game and I was hit like 5 or so times with swarms :P but the guy finally got me one good time since it clicked in his head to use more than one set of swarms again and I lost contorl and he got me.............well the ship anyway i'm not that stupid :P

I usually die when a second full volley of rockets hits me, so I can survive one. Then again I'm only using the militia stuff all round. Any advice on which dropship to aim for and which modules to go for would be appreciated. I kinda just want to be able to stay alive for longer and take more damage. Thanks ALOT At least 10 I've been using a myron dropship and with the way I set it up it has 2500 shields at least with 2k armor and considering the skill I have now at flying I can go around 5-10 matches with my friend without losing that very same dropship and by the time I lose it I almost always have enough money to buy another one which is 425k we take hits we dodge hits we have a ******* field day all the time lav can't even compare to my dropship :P we eat those and the tanks

Tailss Prower Pro Hic Immortalis RISE of LEGION 26	Posted - 2012.08.28 11:21:00 - [9] - Quote I've had a gunner who is a friend get 30/0 so the whole sometimes double digits is almost ALWAYS with me and him in the air and half the time we swear squads are stalking us with a whole team of swarm users cause we get chased alot lol all but the lucky have trouble taking us out
