How is the new transport WP working out?
Does it get dropship pilots anything more than peanuts? |

It's not bad, the 15% should be upped to 30% imo. |

How much do you tend to pull in an average match, would you estimate? |

I've found it hard to test considering the average blue berry won't get out of a dropship once they get in and if you run a spawnship your lucky if 4 ppl during the entire match actually spawn in it. |

Dropships don't make good spawn points in pub matches because you can't see where you are on the map or where you'll land if you jump out ... and you can't be sure the pilot is going to take you somewhere useful.
That and there's always 1001 uplinks to choose from anyway :-( |

The dropship WP work, but in a match with randoms you'll maybe get 100 WP and barely any ISK.
I'm also in favor of upping the WP-ratio to 30%. |

I find working with a good squad, I've managed 300 to 400 WP. Usually that's the first 3/4 of a skirmish in the dropship and the last 1/4 on the ground (damn forge guns/rails). Could probably up it a little bit with more practice with my regular squad group, but working with randoms I imagine it would be tough to break 100WP. Most people don't realize the tactical advantages of moving a full squad from anywhere on a map in seconds and then realize the practice and coordination it takes to get it right. I think upping the WP ration to 30% would help popularize the DS and more people accustomed to using them. |

MCRU's being bugged don't help
and problem with with blues is they can't see you to spawn in when its not bugged.
If they do see you, and you're in a safe location they won't spawn in because they want to be near battle.
If you are in an unsafe location then you'll die or need to leave quickly.
You need to drop them in an unsafe location
They won't hop out
You need them very close to battle to get those TP points within a minute
But for them the ideal place to hop out is slightly outside of battle so they dont get destroyed before landing
and it then takes them a minute to find targets or do anything.

The simple fact is that there's no reason to have a flying transport in this game with fairly small maps and uplinks galore. Add on the fact that you can't see **** when you're inside the dropship, and dropships are incredibly easy to take out. The WP are very minor, and almost 2 years into Beta and we still don't receive MCRU WP like we should.
Basically dropships are ****** right now, and while it's nice to see a tiny positive change, it's just one in a long list of big changes that have yet to happen if the dropship is ever going to have a serious role in this game. |

I have an entire feedback thread about it. We were only getting about 400 wps per round (pilot was only flying dropship, nothing else).

They should increase the wp for kills then if they are going to give very little transport assist. To at least get 1000 wp because ive actually killed enough to get a 1000 wp but didn't give me it. It just gave me 3/5 of that... |

1 minute is not a particularly long time, and ideally you need people on the mic able to tell you where they need dropping off.
Maybe it'd work better in ambushes where you could drop teammates right into the reds to wreak some havok. |

Yeah they should definitely put it up to at least 25% because the maximum they'll get from an objective hack right now is 15% of a 175 points team-hack, even if there's a capture objective on it and it's your squad, you'll still only get like 35 points for that... either the time (up to 90 or 120 seconds) or the percentage should be raised and it'd be a much better reward for the pilot.
I'm not a pilot but they definitely make it great for me when they drop me on an objective so I can get the objective and lay down some remotes, you guys should definitely get more than 15 points for that! |
