i know that this is just a money bank ship to hold my credits while i get enough for a FDL or python. I do not have 100mill credits yet i ahve something like 25M.
I also know that this ship armour tanked will be vulnerable to module damage.
but
theres somethign i forgot to mention in my op.
this ship will be used for PVE only. if that means that i have to drop to private group or solo for a while then so be it.
I have absolutley no intention of using an armor tanked ship in this game for pvp. none whatsoever. So unless the ai starts targetting powerplants and the like i think it will be fine for pve. though i may be wrong.
700 + armor in the HRP version should be tough for the AI to kill no?
I've struggled with the same plight for a few weeks now - and I still can't justify dropping 100+ Mill on a dropship when I could invest the same in a much more versitile Python.
decisions, decisions !
