We should have expected the AD was too good to be true. Jeez, that's expensive. |

Exactly what I was thinking. I mean that at that base cost it's as much as some fully fitted current DS.
and more than tanks. Lawl |

Wasn't there word from on-high a while ago that there were plans to reduce vehicle costs even before Uprising build was deployed?
This is a big 180 |

Lolwat? The cost of dropships was suppose to go down not up, it's already a fortune to fly one considering they go boom if you so much as graze a building. |

I'm glad I wasn't drinking when I read this, I would have made a mess. And seriously? That's as much as my fully fitted myron, that's 3 times as much as a tank. |

I thought so. Combined with the lack of WP you get, and how easily destroyed they are from dirt cheap and zero-SP AV, I'd have to say this is an unsustainable career choice atm.
Go broke, get nothing.
Won't even have the SP to be a decent ground unit for a while too, with this vehicle split now. Which would be alright...Except that pilot suits won't be out till Soon(tm) after Uprising. So...Yeah.
At the price 700k you can have a tank and run 30-0. Or for a couple million now you can have a drop-shop with an ill conceived turret glued to it's face and offer yourself as tribute to the enemy FG. |

It'll be interesting to see what vehicle recall does to our perception of expensive vehicles. Now, it basically costs the price of the vehicle to deploy it. I wonder how much that will change. |

Probably help tanks more. redline snipers just recall out when they get bored. We'll see. |

Can someone on IRC poke/poke hard with fist Blam about the reasoning for this? I really want to know why they though pricing an aerial LAV at 4 times as much as a standard tank was a good idea. |

it fires a small turret and flys.. I don't even want to know what the price of a fighter is going to be.. that's just scary. |

It's an upgrade over a standard dropship. You have to weigh whether you need a pilot controlled gun before committing to spending three times as much. |

I get that, and it makes sense that you'd have to pay more for a turret,but 3 times as much is ridiculous, fitting that thing will put it at over a million ISK per ship,the better have ramped up the rewards significantly otherwise it won't be worth it to use this vehicle. |

well 3x as much wouldn't be a problem if it was originally like 10 ISK, the problem is it's 3x(220,000) ISK |

I wouldn't mind 2x as much, but 3x is way too much IMO when we're losing seats and HP to gain a turret and some extra speed. |

wait 6 more months till we finally get a pilot suit, they'll say
"Yes, you can have a pilot suit...hehe. FOR 5x the cost of a heavy proto a pop!!! MUAHAHA"
also it will have 1hp, 1 shield, no weapon slot, and dies instantly anytime the enemy team spawns a forge gun on the map. |
