As a dedicated dropship pilot I have some questions regarding our role:
1) Will we ever see actual Pilot dropsuits?
2) Will there ever be a mechanic in place for pilots to begin earning marginaly decent exp, or are we going to be forced to be non pilots to earn the skill points we need to improve our bus driving fetish? As it is we are recieving minimal exp per match for ferrying people and providing a mobile weapons platform for our passengers.
3) Will we ever see a dropship with weapons usable by the pilot? Even minor ones? being able to take a few potshots at crunchies would be kinda fun.
4) I do occasionaly use a LAV. Is there even a point to these things? they seem very weak, both offensively and defensively. |

1. Yes, perhaps not at launch, but yes.
2. Probably
3. Likely
4. Perhaps, maybe the LAV needs tweaking to be worth while. I think on large maps the LAV will see more use. |

LAV is good for free quick transportation as for an actual real use, I think a remote repair or electronic warfare on it to support tank would be cool |

I'm looking forward to seeing what effect the Pilot suits and associated skill has on actually piloting vehicles. |

LAVs do need a little tweaking as their armor is really weak and turn way too fast. I actually got one to do a mid-air 360 after ramping it  |

some ideas as far as exp:
-When teammates spawn into your ship, you should be given the same as drop uplink spawn exp.
-I think you get exp for passenger kills.
-Maybe also a bonus exp for a passenger that caps an objective.

2) I suspect that we're not even getting equal SP for non kill points. Like if some gets 1 kill for fifty points, and I get 2 assists (25+25 = 50points) I still don't get as much SP even tho we both scored 50 points. |

4) Logistics LAV, provides quick on the go repairs. Normal LAVs are also hit-and-run. You run infantry over with them, and hit a tank a little bit, run away, and do a lap, only to strike the tank again. It works very well in whittling their health in supporting AV guys. Also, they're transport tools and infantry buffers. Their HP is fine by me. |
