1. What? Drop ships and tanks are loud as hell. Turn your sound up. I can hear a dropship over at A while I'm standing at B.
3. I tell people to jump out. If you don't do it, that's on you.
5. That's the chance you take. Half of the time my dropship is at or below 50%. If you want to prevent people from spawning on my dropship after below 50% then you'll want to beef up my armor so that I last longer than 30 seconds before getting below that point.
7. The vehicle is unmanned, which means everything is turned off.
8. 15-20 seconds is a lot more time than the previous build.
9. Militia vehicles are here for a number of reasons. One of these is to test out the vehicles themselves. Before, you rarely ever saw anyone using the vehicles so there was little in the way of testing being done.

Controls:
1. Flies pretty well as it stands. No thrust means you fall? You're talking about a hover craft falling if it isn't constantly using thrusters.
3. Something we agree on partially. I think it would be cool to have a dropship with weapons in the front, but from what I've seen in videos thus far, there are going to be fighter craft that will take care of that for me. I view the dropship as a Chinook or a blackhawk. Thinking of it that way and it feels right to me.
