If you want an idea of how bad it can be, I started uprising with 90m ISK, I'm currently sitting at 23m ISK. the only reason I've stopped losing isk is because of several very fun hours of death taxi'ing in my saga.
The biggest problem IMO is the damage output of proto AV and the charge up time of the assault forge gun. The simple fact is that proto av can 1 shot your dropship or two shot it before you your reactions actually take effect, and by that I mean while you may recognise the threat and take action in a second, such as trying to avoid the next shot or activating modules, you won't actually see any effect for about two seconds, that's the delay for modules to activate or any real change in your position if your stationary. |

See, I don't get the surprise RDV's, I get the RDV's that gives you two seconds to let your fate sink but not quite enough tiger out the way. |

A question Mary, how long have you been flying? And what exactly do you do to support your team?
And one last question, have you ever been hit by a proto forge gun with the user using damage mods? Cause you wouldn't be making fun of the breach if you have. |

Actually in my experience flying near the top of the height ceiling is the safest place to be, your out of range of pretty much all AV and railguns generally can't elevate high enough to shoot you. It's becoming my standard operating procedure in an ADS to fly near the top of the flight ceiling, swoop down when I spot a target like another dropships or a tank, or if my squad requests some help dealing with enemy infantry, and once I've death with them or harassed them sufficiently afterburning straight back up to the flight ceiling.
That said when I am low down I tend to take advantage of whatever cover I can. |
