The problem with pythonss is that FG has a 10% bonus to shiel
You have to sacrifice tanking for afterburner and you have a HUGE lack of pg
That cant be increase by skills, you cant get tanky enough to rwsist a 2 proto forge shots ( A must in PC) and dont say " im fast enough to avoid the second one)
A ishukone assault fg fires almost every second, not enought time to escape
You cant rep your armour if you catch in fire you are death
And if you fit a rep you lose tank or other essencial stuff

A armour dropship can have lot of hp without loosing spees because aftetburners compensate the penalty
Armor hardeners are bettet
Reps are better morr pg to fit stuff
Dual hardener is a beast

I think missils are better than blasters because you can be effective vs everything
Awesome for finishing ppl and tanks

You don't need an afterburner with a python, it is quick and nimble enough to dodge forge shots until you can find cover. I call it my drunk pilot dodge and shake.

You havent been in PC battles right?

If we had a pc battle and I was online I would be flying my dropship in it. Is zion even in pc anymore?

I've recently speced into them, and I found that I prefer the python. the python is more maneuverable and you can use damage mods with out sacrificing defense imo. I can also fit three proto turrets on the python while with the inc I can only fit one. Although The incubus is much more defensive it seems quite restrictive.

And if manuavebili is an issue put a couple of jovians on and a shield extender in the highs. Combine with a repper and whatever else your want and you have a rather manueaverable and decently tanked vehicle.

If it works for you by all means carry on, I use one sometimes, but I feel the ADS bonus is designed to encourage you to go light for the extra manoeuvrability. Its a hard balance for speed vs HP at times and as already stated afterburners are also favourable - Forge guns / railguns really knock you about The incubus is at a disadvantage currently, you have to play to your strengths and your playstyle

Cody Sietz Bullet Cluster 640	Posted - 2013.08.02 19:56:00 - [11] - Quote Hardeners really are a must, some people use two so they can always be mod cycling while others use 1 and a plate. You could use a light shield rep, but they are kind of awful.

Also a tip you may not know, supply depots repair your armour, if for whatever reason you don't have a repper on you a supply depot can be a lifesaver, it's also useful for topping your armour up when you don't want to put a module into cool down.

THEAMAZING POTHEAD Pure Innocence. EoN. 160	Posted - 2013.08.02 22:11:00 - [15] - Quote defense is the primary goal with all vehicles, that being said your low slots should be a 60 mm plate, a light repper, an active hardener and a passive hardener, speed is secondary because it doesn't matter much if a wirkomi breach FG can one shot you. high slots dont matter much but if you can fit a shield extender and hardener, do it. all of your modules should be designed to make your ship as tanky as possible. right now ion cannons are great for takin down infantry and LAVs, but if you want to take down tanks or other incubus's, equip an XT cycled missile launcher, side turrets should be ST missile launchers to save on cost and pg/cpu, and pythons are easy pray as you can simply ram them out of the air, your incubus surviving but the python dieing on impact

In my experience most newb pilots fly caldari, most vets fly gallente. It's a bit easier to fit a Python for survival initially, but once you have a good grasp on the intricacies of piloting and can offset some of the drawback of the gallente ships through piloting skill, the incubus has the better fitting arrangement as far as specialization and versatility. I'd give you guys my fittings, but considering how many pilots I consistenty destroy with my incubus I think I'd rather just watch the rest of you continue to struggle and drink in your sweet sweet tears.

The incubus is much nicer to fit, that's very true. However running a passive resist speed fit ona python makes for a very effective hit and run platform, not to mention that the pythons mobility and shield tanking makes it the better dogfighting, I'm not saying that you can't win a dogfight in an incubus if your good enough but it is much, much harder. The gallente however is much better suited to the ground support role due to its smoother handling, smaller amount of knock back from hits, and higher EHP. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Oh and for any python pilots, try out this fit, it's pretty suited to hit and runs. High slots 2x ward shield amps 1x aziotropic extender 1x AB Low slot 2x Jovian power plants Turrets 1x accelerated missiles 2x std cycled missiles. With my skills it runs a 33% resist, can take a forge gun shot and give you enough time to AB out of there.

To each their own I guess. I wouldn't be caught dead flying a gallente hippy wagon. Ill tell you my fitting and why I believe python>incubus. High Slots: 2 shield extenders, 1 shield amplifier, 1 shield booster Low Slots: 1 damage mod/passive heatsink(depends on turret), 1 power thingymabob(+7% to shields, shield recharge, and PG) Swarms are a joke to me. Unless you have proto swarms with stacked damage mods all you will do is let me know where you are. Thanks for the easy kill. Manuverability. I do not need powerplants and afterburners because I am already so fast and nimble. Passive recharge. I do not always need to use my booster. Many times I can do a quick loop of the battlefield and be back at full strength ready to engage rather then hiding in the back waiting for my booster to do its work/recharge. Just my .02isk

Incubus seems to be more of a get the hang of it ship because of its defenses.

Not at my ps3 ATM but have like 4 ADS for different situation. For example, Blaster turret for infantry, fragmented missiles for infantry and tanks, accelerated missiles for tanks and other ADS and then a CRU fit for people to hack outsides objectives or to get to high places when they die. Once you fly long enough, reacting to a force gun hit with AB makes forge gunners laughable. Sure I won't be able to fight for awhile but once they take their eye off of me, I'll swoop in and harass/kill them. But red line tankers is a different story.
