Make us immune to null cannons, mcc missiles, being rammed, RDVs, AV Knockback damage, invisible artifacts, and maybe make swarms require effort...then we can talk.
Till then, take comfort knowing that youre forcing yet another pilot into the poor house.
KD is a worthless stat, get over it.

Sadly none of the the formers are actual arguments and the latter is contradictory.
Aside from all the things I listed that rip ISK from your wallet with little to no ability to avoid. Its bad enough that assuming we survive, we still have to make it to safety to call in a new vehicle, which can be exploded before we even touch it. Granted thats true of all vehicles, but dropships are by far the most exposed to death if doing anything but hugging the flight ceiling (which still holds death, because null cannon missiles)
No AV player has given any reason for this other than "we want more WP" and "but, but..they boom, why dont you?"

Since they are not, I suppose weighing in on this won't hurt, I believe the Pilot should die at 0/0, end of story, I tire of destroying tanks, dropships or LAV's where when the vehicle is clearly doomed/dead they jump out (often in a heavy suit, tanked to the nines) to blap you while you holding your AV weapon.
However Dropship passengers are a different story, passengers do not contribute to the dropship forcestrength (minus gunner posistions) and so should not be penalised by the pilots mistakes. I share this opinion as well.
You say its the pilots fault that the ship goes down, yet so often our death is entirely out of our hands.
At least its only very expensive to be a dedicated pilot now, only 350k per death, may as well force us into bpo suits to "save" isk. Unlike infantry, we have no cheaper options, not if you want to be of any real use.

Also, pilot suits are a horrible, horrible idea, and will yet again elevate piloting far above all other roles in terms of SP and ISK required to not be a total waste of SP and ISK
So, you are saying that numbers cannot be adjusted to fix this upon their implementation?
I suppose they could give a free respec and make it so proto vehicle fit plus proto pilot suit equals one proto vehicle fit now, bt that seems prerty silly. Also note the SP investment, youd have to slice that almost in half across the board to keep being a pilot from being an unbelievable SP sink.
Infantry should have to buy an infantry frame in order to wear a dropsuit. It costs a ton of SP, provides a token benefit, and serves mostly as an isk sink. Sounds exciting right?

Leave it exactly as is, but force the pilot to stay in the ship.
I only ever jump when I die to some idiot **** like suicide dropships, but at least this way that moron goes down with me (if im in my incubus anyways). I typically stay in my ship to see who killed me, and I have for a very long time now.
In exchange for pilots being forced to go down with the ship, passengers and gunners get a warning sound and / or light with an on screen prompt informing them to bail or clone goo.
No instant explosion, except for the ones that happen already.
