Okay first of all, in no way am i going to beg for ISK from players and promote the notion that they NEED TO DONATE to me, but recently i have been plauged with the shittiest luck when flying my proto-python fit, with examples ranging from invisible enemy RDV's, random instant explosions, to friendly blueberry pilots literally ramming their milita Vipers into my 1.1 mil dropship. All of these factors combined basically have drained any amount of ISK i once had, and i have now become furious that even though you can be a great pilot, there's absolutely no way to make money if you just run into 1-2 bad games.

Now, the counter-response to this would be that i shouldn't fly in mostly every game. But it takes around 10 matches of me doing a mediocre ground job (All the SP i have is skilled into ds so i have to use militia fits) to earn 1 dropship. Where if i simply call in 1 ADS and keep it alive for the whole match (There are times i go literally days without losing 1 ADS), i can make about 250K per match, which hikes my ISK payout about double that if i were on ground.

That being said, there's clearly a way that DS pilots can make money if they are smart, talented, and lucky enough, however that luck only lasts so long, and each mistake either by blueberry friendlies, or CCP RDV's drains 1 mil from my wallet each time. If there are any members who wouldn't mind donating any amount of ISK to this veteran DS pilot, i would more than appreciate it, the amount of negligence that CCP has shown dropships is really taking a toll on my wallet, but i won't let it completely bog me down.

Lol Blackout0 is broke too, and I was told by the old alliance that you were a good pilot. They need to give Dropships a buff they go down to forges way too quickly making them profitable difficult. I'll give you a mil next time I see you in topmen.pub channel.

Thanks man, and yeah, back when seven was apart of the alliance, him and I we're pretty much the premier dropship pilots for the alliance, now it's me and a few others who are, but I have even run into blackout a couple times in pub matches and had dogfights with him hah, got him twice in 1 game and he got me once, but he's also a skilled tanker as well, no doubt though that he's broke too since he shares the pain of all proto dropship pilots.

Some STB guy who jumped in our squad gave him a mil so at least he got a jump start. I was in a game with Blackout waiting for him to land so I could when he saw one of his friends assault DS and then they engaged in a fire fight when the enemy DS began to lose he rammed Blackout0 head on, wonder if that was you. They should remove RDV's a free LAV can destroy a mil ISK dropship, when you recall a vehicle it is transported to the warbarge they should transport the vehicle to you via materialization not RDV, when I run tanks the RDV Announces to the other team Tank switch to AV.
