Just because someone isn't sitting in the driver seat of a car doesn't mean the car is turned off. But really, this isn't hard to counter if you just take the time to fly up there and deal with it. So if I'm the pilot and I jump out it should hover not go powerless and crash
100% Right. We've got auto-rotating helicopter blades to prevent total failures -- i'm surprised that a dropship, sometimes worth more than all of its occupants, automatically crashes when the pilot bails.
It would also give the pilot the opportunity to slide back into a gunner position while the ship hovers so that they can help lay down support fire & a bad ass hacking opportunity. Drop from a dropship onto a stationary drop ship, hack it from the top, then drop in to pilot it or use the weapons. Set it up low to the ground between different points for some platformer style jumping to get to hard to reach locations to launch an assault from. |

Right its dumb isn't it but this is exactly what some retards want you to keep doing instead of fixing the problem.
I'm not sure why you went through 5 drop ships... I played on a map where there was a game of freaking musical chairs going on up there. Drop ships would come up from behind one of those towers, set down, then the dropships start jockeying for positions on different towers until someone stopped the music. It was pretty intense. It's not like you get a full spread on the battlefield once you've landed or that you're guaranteeing your team's victory by perching up there like some ugly beetle.

Well now we know that the guys in Dropships at the top of the tower won't get any love from you TLC, no matter how many times they try to holla at you with their missile salvos from the side of their best friend's ride. |

So many threads, so many tears, I had to write a song about it. |
