I run drop ships most matches and don't just drop people off, but also pick them up in order to go to the next objective. At the end of a mach full of successful captures, and paratrooper kills I end the match with around 250 points. I have seen other threads with elaborate scoring systems, but what I would like to see is a score multiplier for picking someone up after the hack. In and out clean and you get a proper reward if you are just dropping people you get the same poop rewards.
Other Dropship Issues:
Pilot Seat locked Timer Needed: It would be nice if no one could enter my pilot seat for like 20 seconds after I leave it. I keep a cru in my dropships and often when I jump out to clear a rooftop because my passengers is clueless my ship gets stolen.

The ship getting stolen issue also prevents me from being able to deploy uplinks which can destroy the flow of battle and even get your ship destroyed.

I agree there needs to be a manual lock or if you didnt call it in you cant use it. |

I prefer a 20 second lock after you leave the pilot seat, as suggested. If ennemies can hack your vehicles and use them, it should at least be POSSIBLE for a teammate to use a vehicle after the owner has died or abandoned it. Being able to just step outside to leave an uplink or to set a squad order though, that would really benefit a 20 second timer upon leave where no one else can use it. |

This has been discussed among us before,... but itGÇÖs a good subject, so IGÇÖd like to contribute.
Bad news for you, first:
The concept of GÇ£locking your rideGÇ¥ has been discussed by the Devs, and they agreed it is a viable issue that they wanted to address. But it would be an issue that requires more elaborate scripting than we players are aware of, so the devs gave us the 5-second vehicle lockout instead (just as a TEMPORARY solution to reduce your ride being jacked by NON-squad players).
But then the GÇ£LegionGÇ¥ thing happened, and the workers were relocated to other projects---CCP may longer have the staff resources to work on a GÇ£re-scripting taskGÇ¥ like vehicle-locks anymore. Keep your fingers crossed, but.... I just donGÇÖt see this (or other brand-new mechanics) happening in Dust.
Good news: Dropship rewards are not as bad as you are experiencing.
There is only so much reward we should expect to receive from just haphazardly taxiing loose players around town (even if the town happens to be under fire  ).
The real WP comes from Dropship-ing a Squad. It is a challenge, but I have done squad leader AND driver simultaneously---giving orders which objective to take, when to stand and defend, when to return directly to my DS, and when to rally at a pickup point first and wait for me to arrive,... racks up a ton of support WP, itGÇÖs more legit WP (not for just being a cabbie in Dodge City), and I think itGÇÖs the more teamwork-intense method of getting WP that CCP would prefer.
The most fun match I had with my DS was with a half-squad, whose GÇ£leaderGÇ¥ was great at tactics but inexperienced with the whole GÇ£squad commandGÇ¥ controller buttons thing---so he spoke his squad orders by MIC, and I agreed to act as GÇ£squad leaderGÇ¥ only to mark the targets and waypoints with the squad-command buttons for him. Wacky, and wickedly awesome!
...I became a WP millionaire in that one night.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
