More shields = Less chance to damage haul = No mid air explosion

Neither. Wait until dropships are useful again. |

Armor by far.
For militia, caldari dropships may be better, but after that they don't have enough PG to fit anything remotely useful, and it's extremely hard to fill every slot.
Gallente dropships are also more resistant to forge gun shots, while fitting a mCRU much more easily than caldari dropships. |

I run an Armor dropship right now, it's actually doing pretty well. I don't usually die from swarms or forge launchers unless I get ambushed really bad, I tend to die from scraping my paint against the side of a crane or bumping the nose of the ship along the ground. You know, logical stuff. |

You can fill all the slots of a Myron. I ran two Azeotropic Shield Extenders and one Azeotopic Shield Booster and an afterburner by putting two Local Power Grid mods in the lows. |

After reading a thread earlier I went and made a grimsnes since the myron I used to run is now not possible to use do to the numbers that they have adjusted. Had the numbers to put the best active armor hardener, 2 complex armor plating, a complex armor rep, complex shield booster, a malitia passive shield resistance, and 2 advanced baster turrets. Could run a better passive shield resistance but don't have the skills in it yet.
If I had not made a bad turn it would have been really hard to take me down. I was flying the 5 point map. Made half a loop lost all my shields and 1/3 of my armor by the time I was back around to a full loop I was at full everything again. Made two more loops and made a bad turn hit the tower you can't fly over and went down. I think this is one of the best fits I have made for my grimsnes. Would like to see others.
The reason I use blasters is for using it as an actual drop ship. The missiles are still barely usable on a dropship, and I just see a black hawk lowering into pick up altitude and unloading a 50 Cal machine gun into incoming tangos. I want to teach my gunners how to use them effectively in real hot spots. My goal is to become a hot zone pick up and drop off pilot, also the reason I am running active hardeners so I can cut them on get people or drop them off and get out before I go boom.
In comparison I have found shields to be easier to maintain do to only really using one active module, but being over all weaker and takes longer to get back up to full life. also you have to find a logi or a supply depot to get back to full life. Weaker against rails and forges, but stronger against swarms you more common AV weapon.
The armor though given the PG it can run armor rep and a shield booster, so you can get yourself up without having to go to people or needing to land in the map to back to full life. I fly behind mountains activate my rep and my booster and wait 20 secs then I am back in the air. So given all these active mods you have to activate and still fly it can be harder to fly. Also it is better against forges and rails, but weaker to swarms which is your usual weapon being shot at you. |

Gunships could theoretically come next patch. The airframe is already in-game. Just fix a turret to be forward firing on a dropship and you're nearly done. |

well I have a 120MM Promithiues that I`m about to compare to an Erhys with lots of sheilds, I`ll need a few more days though, then I`ll give you my results.
But sheilds seem better to me as of now. |

Dropships get knocked out of the air by railgun fire. They're my favorite target when im in my tank.
Id go with armor though shields recharge. They can also hit 0 without you exploding. If you hit0 shields and you have 800 armor, youre screwed. Being able to have alot of armor is way more usefull then having shields. Plus railguns do reduced damage to armor. Swarms can be outran by dropships. |
