I have a new python fit I'd like to share with you guys (despite their removal in the coming weeks):
--: 2 azeo shirt ex, 1 supplemental shield ex, 'surge' shield hardener; -; 1 Polycrystalline armour plate, PG mod; turrets: std side and proto front (can fit I believe)
This is the best fit I can imagine. 3100 shield with 40.5% resist max and over 1500 armour with 10% resist, all with max skills.
I currently run this fit minus the proto plate (replaced it with the lighter fitting plate until I get enough skill points), but the results have been great. I have lost fewer dropships than with any other fitting (though I may have gotten better at flying). I've yet to be killed by swarms (they hardly make it through my shields), I've survived 2 breach forges and three rail shots (at least from what I could gather, I haven't run the numbers to see what all I can take).
It does take a lot of SP to fit. Core to 4-5 I think, armour plates to 5, shield ex to 3, engineering to 4 at least. You still need to run when facing heavy AV, but you should survive almost anything with some fancy flying. Let me know what you think or how it works for you. |

Judge, I was reading your response and opinion about the new stabilizer for militia dropships, and I have to say you're completely wrong about this feature.
First of all, you're over exaggerating its capabilities. Comparing it to an auto-aim, or even an aim-assist, for ARs is ridiculous and dishonest. It does not make noob pilots great pilots. It's not training wheels. All it aids with is leveling out if you need to stay still and landing, which are of the lowest levelskills (though one of the most frustrating even for veteran pilots). It cannot aide in virtually any of your videos' maneuvers; it's limited to hovering and slow moving, and if you think that's what should separate great pilots from neophytes, your mistaken.
It cannot prevent crashes from bad piloting because it takes time to engage and you maintain velocity afterward, meaning that the pilot still must maneuver and evade collisions (which should happen right away rather than waiting the 1-2secs for it to level out). It cannot aide with ADS aiming because you must constantly track your enemies, leaving little to no time for the stabilizing to engage. It hasn't interfered with any maneuver I have ever attempted thus far.
The only thing it does do is what's it's supposed to: help stabilize the dropship when hovering, which very annoying to do effectively because of the difficulty in gauging the tilt of the dropship. I see this feature as simple and non-invasive (such as a new symbol on the HUD would be) and would not mind seeing this on my future LDS and perhaps my ADS as well.
I will support the ability to toggle it on and off as some may find it off-putting.

I had and idea for a new piece of equipment relevent to dropship pilots.
^Here's the thread: A 'Sky Hook' Extraction Device. Basically a fast, relatively simple way to pickup troops. I'd love to hear what you lot think.

A viable fit should only be about 4mil. After that it just optimization. Seriously look at the fitting tool stickied in GD and find a fit that you like, calculate the needed skills and SP requirements, and see what you can manage.

It's alright, I've not been on except on the weekends because of school. I'll have to watch it later and give proper feedback later today (30m on one topic?  Must be good.)

No. However it is only for militia dropships, so flying a STD or ADS won't have that "feature."
