CCP i am begging you. i like playing this game and using dropships but i can't afford to fly them because the milita one costs 68,000 ISK, and fitting it with a mobile CRU (which earns me no points) and other things costs me up to 112,000 ISK!
i am begging you to HLAF the price of ALL vehicles in this game but if anything the dropship.. these things should cost as much as LAVs,
drop ships are rediculously hard to fly, get shot down almost instantly, are everyones target, are impossible to land without taking damage, and can't fit many vehcile mods. instead of fixing all that it would be easier to just make everything vehicle related cost half as much.
my fully fitted milita drop ship should cost me no more than 40,000 ISK. i mean its militia gear for crying out loud |

CCP again this is a simple over night fix. dropships are too easy to take down, or at least reduce the price of milita gropships to 10k-20k ISK because the game tends to do this to drop ships.
you call in a dropship and 1 or several things happen, either:
1. drops ship instantly explodes for no reason whatsoever 2. RDV crashes it into the ground and blows it up 3. mid flight a forgun or rockets instantly demolish your dropship in 1 hit 4. you try to land your dropship and it just scrapes the ground and instantly blows up 5. you touch a wall and your dropship ignites on fire
125k isk is abit much for a full specced out milita dropship. especially since it earns you no points |

Mine cost me about 1,100,000 isk to floor. A part of me would LOVE for a price reduction, but another part of me says no.
Why?
Because it would make it far too easy to field a flood of the bastards.
Don't get me wrong, I love Dropships. I pilot them all the time.
However, it shouldn't be made super-easy-accessible to every bastard coming off the side of the road.
...already enough problems with noob pilots wanting to run suicide ships into you when they give up trying to swarm/snipe you from the sky... |

but since AV is so powerful and LAVs have longer life spans than dropships it will never be a problem. hell most people can't even fly a dropship |

It's a vehicle. Of course they are expensive. They should just make it better to fly and give the pilot WP. I also don't get the people who say they are shot down in an instant. I met 3 types of dropship pilots so far:
1. The ones who just use it to drop the squad somewhere 2. The ones who crash this thing into the next mountain all by themselves 3. The ones that fly one the whole ******* match without being shot down once
Only problem I'm seeing so far is the lack of WP earned by the pilot.
There would be no sense in halfing the cost now and then doubling it later, when they fixed this. |

I don't think they need to be cheaper... at this point they need to be more durable. Well, among other things... |

Vehicles should be around the price of dropsuits, but they should also be pretty easy to kill. |

dude standard AV gear takes out my drop ship instantaneously! and really if thats the case drop suits should be super expensive, smaller tech always costs more.
in no way am i suggesting vehicles as cheap as drop suits but at the same time just saying its a vehicle, and having it killed faster than any suit is rediculous!
i mean really? 1500isk worth of grenades can wtf pwn a dropship worth 1.2million. my dropship is cheap compared to those, but its unprofitable, you can't be a pilot and make money.

if drop ships and LAVs were twice the price of dropsuits of the same lvl that would be fair. Why? because they die just as fast because AV is too effective.
so a standard suit worth 6,000 ISK, well an LAV would be worth 12,000 ISK, and a dropship worth 15,000ISK.
Tanks however, should keep their price and just be made better.

ITT: "My dropship is made of paper!" or "My dropship hasn't been killed in a month!"
I'm in between the two.. I'd like a tankier dropship, but I don't get one shotted by forge guns. I get 2-3 shotted, and I'd be cool with them being able to 4 shot me (or 3 with a breach). |

well again the loss is disporpotionate. someone hits your 1.3 million or 500k dropship with a milita forgun and swamr rockets and its just instantly done. You can't use more than 1 per match cuz then proto rockets come out of nowhere and just butt **** the ship.
i dnt hate AV, it should be powerful and gives speccing into it a purpose. however, when the rewards for suceeding in a dropship are so low and the punishment for failing is hundreds of thounds of ISK
the whole point to using milita gear in a pub match it to make money. so, if losing 1 milita dropship with standard vehicle mods costs 125,000isk and the match is worth 100k-200k ISK your not making any money. get shot down twice and you have zero profit. using dropships garuntees you go negative. |

I'm in the same boat. I can see where I need to invest the SP to improve my dropships performance but at the same time I have to fund my flying with my Logi suits. By playing smart even a militia tanker can earn SP easy for the player to fund his real tanks. We don't have that luxury. |

Maybe it's that sort of disdain some people have for the many people that just use milita dropships to get to some vantage point (implying "real" pilots don't have the same issues). Logistics/Standard/Assault dropships get blasted out of the sky too, it's just slightly more difficult.
The standard tanks are a much more solid investment compared to standard dropships as it stands now, but all the the dropships can get dropped with a few shots. |

^^tis my point. why should i go any higher in the chain if the militia ones are unusable, and cost you a fortune.. imagine using a REAL dropship, losing 2-3million ISK in 2-3 shots? OR proto swarm launchers, will pwn you just as fast.
basically the entire match is not spent helping your team but trying not to lose your dropship.
you could always say its a good distraction and you can fly a CRU. but:
1. you don't get points for teamates killing enemies while the enemy is running AV 2. you dnt get points for the CRU. 3. CRU eats up a ton of PG that is nessesary for real fittings. |
