Great news for dedicated pilots, some much needed love to start paying our way and not moonlight as other classes. The 15% SP for 1 min seems reasonable. A hell of a lot can happen in that time, especially for a good dropoff. Great news for me and my squad.
As for the team, I'm still not picking up you blues. Sorry but WP isn't enough. Anyone else agree?
The forum's full of reasons why so I'm not going to repeat it all again |

Can't wait for this. I have always loved using a logistics dropship over assault, and this will provide me with ample wp, as I am the corps major form of transport (in some games)
I was wondering if vehicle scanners will receive the same reward that infantry scanners are getting? |

If CCP wants active transporting to occur in game, they need to do two things: Reward the pilot for transport, and make the blues GTFO. Uprising 1.5 only addresses one of those things, but I too will likely avoid picking up blues at all costs because they'll just mindlessly fire the turret all match and if I need to get out for whatever reason they will run off with my vehicle. |

Square is currently registered as a way to open the bay doors. Make that so it would in turn force everyone out |

I'm gutted they haven't added CRU spawn WP. That mattered to me more than the transport points. But I do think they've implemented those points excellently. |

I think we're going to need general equipment items every suit has access to like extraction beacons to better define transport rewards at some point. |

I'd suggest making the X button a 'green light / red light' switch. Inside the dropship at each passenger slot, would be a small red light (even on the HUD) and when the pilot wants them to bail, it would switch to green, indicating the time for the infantry to jump.
And in conjunction, when the pilot holds down square, it starts a 5 second countdown on all passengers HUD indicating 'automatic vehicle exit in 5' , the figure counts down to 0, kicking the passengers out.
Too much? |

I'm glad this is happening. Dropships have needed love for... a while.
Good day/night, mercs and pilots. I must go kill Amarrians in my dreams... |

The problem with the eject idea is that there will definitely be some trolls who eject blues in the red zone. This is no good for anyone. Maybe they could make it impossible to eject in these areas though. |

not really great news with no vehicle lock its useless.
bluebies cannot be trusted to get in a vehicle and get out at their destination..the people who let random bluedots in their lavs will learn real quick that most bluedots just wanna afk or spamm triangle waititng for the moment they can steal ur expensive ride..and if they arnt doing that or afking..then they are shooting your turret mindlessly. this doesn't really benefit anyone.
a vehicle lock with 1.5 would have been more useful. im sure the wp reward will be nice when i can lock my driver seat move some bluebies with me hop out and run my av game and not have to worry about them stealing my lift..but until then stay the kitten away from my lav or we will go sit in the redline if i do not know you i dont trust you. |

I've read somewhere in the patch notes discussion that a DEV confirmed that this will not be the case, sorry. |

That's not true at all and thats why its great that they've implemented the squad finder in the same build. If you're with a good squad your team could realistically get close to 1000 wp within 1 minute of being dropped off especially with the additional new scanning bonus for the squad. I love the new wp updates! |

This transport WP should be automatic if the spawn with an mcru and leave instantly. As is I would not float on an objective because they would drop instantly and no 100m means no WP. |

the problem with that reward is... the logi dropships with built in CRUs wont be transporting very far... since people spawn IN them....
so logi dropships will still be void for WPs |

Who's going to wait for a bus when there is a far more convienient mode of transport?
As long as there is an owned objective or drop uplink near the desired location people will use that.
There will be no general transport role in the game as long as you can spawn where you want to be.
Dropships will be used for initial deployment and drop uplink deployment as they are today.
If they ever gain survivability they will be used by organized squads to assault an objective, and that will be sweet. It won't happen with randoms who aren't talking though. |

MCRU would be fine, the problem is going to be blues, however they get in, will never get out.
And that = no transport points. Plus probably getting blown up while stopping near objectives and screaming till you pass out for these idiots to gtfo your ship and do somthing useful. |
