As of today, I am actually making money as a fabled Assault Dropship Pilot. I have been fortunate enough to find my perfect skillet and models to fit my Python to survive most encounters. I still have to, however, avoid many things, and keep my eye on EVERYTHING. but I think that this could finally work. today I have made 2 mill, only because I had to pay for the initial ship. To do this yourself, you need to gauge your enemy, if you cant avoid a volley of AV, you need to recall, and work with your ground tactics. but it is possible. |

Vehicles tend to last a LOT longer if you coordinate with infantry, as you found out. Also, great story. Hopefully a success story of an ADS pilot will get others in the air.
i sure hope so, getting lonely flying in the air |

that why I preform the magical recall, after I soak a shot from a railgun 
and the Breach forge gun only takes half of my shields, before I apply hardeners |

I was attempting to "land" on the LAV and get the turret operator. After slashing the driver on accident the LAV stopped moving (I think he thought I was a friendly somehow), and the gunner hopped out. He was met with my blade as well.  My pilot is switching to the incubus after he gets the respec. The python is faster but I am hoping the Incubus has a better chance of survival. I went through 29 million flying that thing.
great, hope to see you in the air.
remember that the Assault Dropship is not a solo vehicle. most of my survivals come from my side turrets or an infantry killing the AV personnel for me.
I do not have personal experience from the Armor ADS, but I have seen it in action, and it does survive a beating.
you do want to have a secondary suit for when something goes wrong, you can earn a profit that way.

Fly Safe The only thing that concerns me is the lack of speed and swarms. I can pull off some crazy moves with my python. I cant remember the exact name of the module but the one that adds torque bonus was pimp in my low slots. I would keep the Python if I had enough PG to pop an armor rep in a low without gimping something else (shields) in my highs.
from what I have heard, it's speed is between the Myron and the Python, so you should be fine, just don't pull off any tricks untill you know you can do it |

I was on my Python and this Myron was purposely trying to smack into me. It ended up hitting me and was ready to get crazy when I saw the explosion but then realized that my python still hovering with 1/4 shields left while the myron turned into a ball of fire falling to the ground. I then tested it on another Python. It was annoying as it kept trying to fly away and got fed up with my turret. So I switched to ramming and same thing happened, python falls and mine remains unscathed. low on hp don't get me wrong, but not on fire.
but the ultimate test has not been meet yet. the Drunken RDV's, survive those and I'm ready for just about anything |
