A request first: If possible, every minute the dropship is alive, give the dropship the transport WP for the previous minute. And when it goes down any undistributed WP is given when the dropship explodes. This makes it a bit neater for the pilot and helps me get a measure on when I'm earning the most WP, because right now random WP pops up everywhere and I have no idea what's happening. At least at intervals I can assess what happened in the last minute, instead of try to look back at my actions in general to try determine where the WP came from.
And as for feedback: I feel personally that the WP is too low. Perhaps 20-25% would suffice, but at 15% I'm reaching maximums of 400WP in games with no AV against me, and when I'm being chased by those nifty ADS' (I can't bloody outfly you guys in my logiDS without an afterburner, but if you find me you deserve the kill and a pat on the back) or forge gunners and swarm launchers I can barely drop one or two blueberries safely and earn less than I could. With a decent gunner or two I've managed to pull around 600-800WP, but even then it's those high WP games where the top 3 have 1000WP+.
All other pilots, feel free to give input on this. Most pilots don't seem to fly as I do, though. I've never encountered another LogiDS transporting troops; I only ever come across ADS pilots who just chase me out of the sky :( |

I haven't had a chance to fly since that patch, but I'd wager your problem isn't so much the percentage earned as the people you're transporting. As a general rule, randoms suck. I should know, I usually am one.
Your best bet in getting decent WP is to find a squad that wants to be taxied around the map. Although, admittedly, you're still only likely to make about 75% the SP that they do. And that's assuming they only earn WP within one minute of being taxied, which isn't likely since the maps are too small for dropship transport to really be helpful in most cases. |

We should automatically get transport WPs form somebody using the mcru as well I figure that is why we get so few points ATM everyone spawns and drops straight out. |

That's an interesting point. Why 1 minute? It is giving a reward for travelling 100m, I reckon we should find the average time it takes to travel 100m and use that as the timer.
As for a decent squad, I totally agree. I had the voice bug today though, so couldn't communicate at all. I probably shouldn't have given feedback on how little WP I am earning now, but I'm assuming a squad won't improve it much; I could be very wrong though.
And the randoms aren't all that bad. :P I just feel it's a problem when a random gunner gets me more points when he's gunning than when he hops out and hacks a point, takes some installations, and kills some enemies on foot. I think a reduction to vehicle kill assists but more to vehicle transport WP would be another option.
And as for mCRU WP, I'd love that but I fear some may abuse it.
