When flying a dropship do you get sp only for passenger kill assist? Like is there sp added for secsesful passenger drop off, anything like that. I enjoy flying them and I'm slowly getting the hang if it  |

At the moment there isn't much point gains for Dropship pilots, but next patch addresses this. |

you'll get mocked by the lolcommunity for having a lower kill count and being at the bottom of the scoreboard despite your gunners closing the match out with a victory and destroying their tanks and sniper nests
apparently none of the devs are pilots they mostly drive tanks |

So there is not even sp in a case where passengers are on guns in dropship and kill enemy, this hasn't happend to me, I just assumed that was the case. |

I think you do get some SP from each match, but not nearly as much as rest of players, since kill assists and stuff for dropship pilots are low in this build. And the fact that dropships dont get WP (War poins, or what ever they are called) from transporting passangers to objective thereby succesfully capturing it. |

I hope that will be looked at more, I'll be the first one to tell you I'm not that good at fps. When I play I tend to play support roles like healing, repairing, or laying down a hella amount of bullets as my teammates follow in after me and finish them off. I think I would be cool if a dropship full of teammates flies over to an objective while taking enemy fire and have teammates on the guns putting rounds on targets as the drop ship get lower so all can get out and the dropship flies off while the ground forces it groped off get the objective. That would be cool and the dropship should get something for that! |

From another thread
CCP Nothin wrote:The scoreboard will show everyone's earned WP (warpoints, the points you get from your actions on the battlefield) once deploy the next patch. It will also be ranked by WP, so playing in support roles will also allow you to make it to the top.
We also wish to add and keep adding more WP rewards over time for various actions. You should definitely be able to e.g. fly pilot your dropship and earn a good living doing it, provided that you're useful to your team.

cool thing about dropships is you dont have to get close to the ground to drop troops. I didnt know that until I was in a dropship that was getting pounded, so i was like "kitten it" and exited. Next thing i know, I am screaching for the ground and bam on the ground and running. |

Perhaps ambush should be kdr ranked and skirmish wp ranked, right now its kill ranked for both. I have wanted wp on score board for a while.
Maybe the gunners should count as having a defend dropship order from pilot, since that is the gunner's job. This would give the pilot more sp, and make people more willing to be gunners. Hav's can do this already for some reason if squad leader places order on hav. |

But when dropping from high up just remember to press x to activate inertia dampners BEFORE hitting the ground. |

A nose gun would be cool, but it really isn't the purpose of the dropship- Thats more a fighter thing which will be coming! |

And my bet is, just speculation no info to back this up, that that fighter could possibly have fixed-wing aircraft fly mechanics as opposed to dropship vector thrust craft that we have now. Atleast I hope so. I would love to see both in game.
But i'll be sticking with dropships. |

Oh yeah that's right, now what would be cool is a way to pick ground forces up from ground with out landing. Maybe like in Star Treck lol, beam me up. Like some type of device that would light up a small area on ground where they would stand in and the seat spots would light up inside the dropship meaning that the dropship was lock on ground forces to fill the seats. Then the dropship pilot would have to hold a button for a set amount of time and there the be, in side the dripship out of danger and ready to be transported to another objective. Lol I know is a little to much but it would be cool |

mm.. Maybe cool and look impressive, but I like to actually land the craft and then take off after passangers are boarded. More of a challenge to me as a pilot to do pick-up in a hot combat zone.
And in your example the dropship would haeve to be motionles. And DS that dont move much is a destroyed DS. |

This is true, I enjoy that too. Maybe have the logistics class have like a beacon that only they could call it down and have it on a cool down. I wouldn't suggest this in the heat of battle, more like away from battle to get to an objective fast. I do agree with you though it is fun to set a dripship down and see ground forces run for it |
