First things first, remove your shield modules. They bloom your signal which makes you more noticeable and you could be using that slot for utility.
Second, skill into afterburners. They'll surely help when s*** hits the fan and while flying a dropship that is likely to happen, repeatedly. The really shine in hot extractions where you need to put as much distance between you and enemies fast.
Third, blasters blasters and more blasters. Their volume of fore will guarantee you assists when you have a decent gunner. Also the gallente dropship's higher pg makes blasters easier to fit.
Forth but the most major thing to remember is LOL plates. Not only fo they affect your afterburner and movement speed but they take valuable pg which could be used for better weapons and otger equipment. Dual armor repaiers and a resist mod coupled with a damage control is my |

Ok first... its Gal. Shorter easier and doesn't remind me of those irritating little orange things

Also Plates save lives. You need the extra buffer, resistance plates dont have much effect as its a % based on the already low armor. Plate it.
Blasters... unless you want to go after tanks.... |

Blasters have always been good to take down rail and missile tanks, back in replication I took a sagaris down using them, plates would be good if you could get immediate logi support but at best it'll help you take a few more shots while hardeners help you get out of trouble while maintaining your speed. Since it's only a matter of time before the opposing team switches to Av going for easy kills, the secondary armor repairer will help you sustain damage for longer or near instantly regenerate low grade swarms |

With armor plate(s) on it it is a lot easier to control but I don't usr plates because of the speed penalty |

I did notice a -50 WP when i crashed today.
Got hit by a tank a few times, tried to land at the other end while one fire, but the tank gave is final blow. I jumped out at about 10 feet high. Didn't die. But the guy inside did, which gave me a -50 WP.
I got a CRU in the dropship, since without it, you constantly need to land and takeoff, making you an easy target. For your info, I never received any WP for people spawning into my ship.

That is what happened to me last time. If they jump off on time you are ok, you just loose your investement, but if they die in it, you will be penalized for your cruelty!
I won't use the ones I got left until they make this Dropshit useful, or at least rewarding |

well i dont fly that much any more unless i have a squad mate that wants to gun or if i need to go take out a rail tank. Tough to justify an entire match earning 0 WP and risking 850K in isk. Pretty much just been flying vipers when my squad wants to do some surfing. It is fun to watch 15 missles fly from my ship at every LAV,HAV, or ship that happens to span in. |

You don't understand, It took 3 swarms and a forge gun (all basic as far as I could tell) all hitting in the same ten seconds to overpower my reps and i only went down because once you go into hull you can't fly, I crashed with over 500 armour |

yes but only if i get hit by a huge amount of dps and add in afterburners to make me harder to hit, my survivability just doubled |

From a theoretical point of view I prefer buffer fits. Swarms are rather laughable anyways, so I'm mostly concerned about those moments where I'm targeted by forgeguns, tanks or rail-installations. I've had times where I lost some 5000 eHP within 3 seconds. Without a good buffer you're not getting out of that.
But I'll try the dual-reps anyways if the opportunity arises. |
