An auto warning system when a DS is targeted by AA weapons - BIG RED SIGNAL IN THE HUD - Lock established abandon ship

+1 op

The reason why it should be forced is because most blue dots do not use communications so if the dropship is going to be taken down by swarm launchers and the blue dots inside dont know they have to bail out when the dropship is on fire the pilot yelling at them to "BAIL OUT BAIL OUT" will get at least - 100 points for the blue dots that did not know when to bail out that got killed. This Eject feature would be looking out for the safety of the pilot and the passengers of the vehicle. It would also make squading better and taking an objective better when they are all sitting and deployed all at once. So they work together to take one objective instead of bailing out whenever they want to or not at all.

Well who's to say that there isnt an a**hole that will have a dropship with A CRU in it so people can spawn in it just to crash it to troll. I know there is people out there that will do this but this is directed to the majority of dropship pilots that are not F**king Idiots.

Vermaak, you're concentrating on the negatives, the possibilities that morons will decide to troll with this feature. The problem is, what do you want Dropship Pilots to be? Gone forever, never to actually be utilized properly?

We can remove the ability when entering a redzone, that one sorted. You're worried about people dropping troops next to tanks? I can do that right now with my Dropship, I'll just land it and run off. Expensive, but thats the ******** trolling you expect all off us to do.

We need this feature, otherwise DS Pilots are just gonna be useless assets in the battlefield (When it comes to Pub games anyways, and I'd actually like to be of use in a Pub game.)

That wouldn't be a game changer to let dropship pilots kick the people inside out because in the event they're not ready to leave they'll just run away from where you dropped them and waste even more time than they would have walking to wherever they're trying to get. All this would do is promote ttolling WITHOUT consequence which is a terrible idea.

+1 for the green light but the rest is a sh*tty idea

Not ready? I sat just next to Bravo on Manus Peaks with a Dropship full of people, the guys on the turrets were shooting into the distance trying to hit things and the other 4 were sitting there doing **** all. It's ridiculous you're against this. We can easily stop abuse for the Red zone and only a few players are going to grief by dropping them off right next to an enemy. The majority of pilots want to be useful in a battle rather than flying around getting shot down while they try to make players in the dropship jump out.

One particular instance isn't a format for all, it's more ridiculous that you think it's your right to force them out of a vehicle meant for teamwork when things don't go your way. It's even more bs that you think this will accomplish anything more than trolling without punishment

Simple request, as a Dropship Pilot I want to pick people up and get them onto an objective quickly. The problem is not everyone has a mic or is paying attention to me yelling "GO!", so perhaps we could have a kick all function for Vehicles? My priority is dropships but I believe every vehicle could probably use it.

Using it will eject everyone from the vehicle apart from the Pilot/Driver. This means even if you're driving around with a group of randoms, they can be "organized" when it comes to getting out of a vehicle :)

I like the "green light" idea.

I don't like the "throw people out without a choice" idea.

You know how a squad leader gets a "Squad Leader Commission" WP bonus for any bonus points earned by teammates following their instructions? Why not give something similar to Dropships.

Have a "Green Light" function that Dropship Pilots can use to instruct teammates to jump. Give this a minimum 5 second duration before it can be turned off, and a max of 10 seconds before it cuts off on its own, and have a 60 second cooldown on activation so it can't be spammed constantly. Anyone who jumps during the green light period gets a 10 or 15 point bonus, and hands the pilot a "commission" bonus as well. After jumping, there could be a short period where the dropped players earn bonus WP and award commission to the pilot for those as well.

I suggested something similar a while back. Some kind of WP commission to the dropship pilot for every action did by a dropped soldier in the 1-2 minutes after they left the DS.

Would obviously need some more accurate design than this to avoid exploit but could be a way to give love to the pilots.

Regarding green light, it's a good idea. The auto-drop people, not so much imo.

+1, and I'm sure I +1ed you previously on the topic as well.

Also, I've previously suggested a possible method of reducing exploitability, I've suggested a few ways to make that happen before too. Mostly revolving around giving everyone who drops a temporary WP boost, and not thinking about pilots themselves.

1. Gunners don't get rewarded for abandoning their posts. Not sure about this if it's on a cooldown/time-limited effect as this thread's suggesting - it was part of a suggestion for a general bonus to Dropship pilots and passengers for jumping out without bothering to coordinate with teammates when doing it.

2. Bonus only awarded to players who have been in the Dropship for a certain minimum time, or those who spawned in the vehicle's M-CRU. if you just hopped into the Dropship, no extra reward will be earned. This would make any exploitation potential minimal enough that K/D farming or suicide/nano-injector WP farming would be a more practical method.

3. If gunners aren't rewarded with this system, they could get the "jump" bonus without the post-jump WP increase. Also, you wouldn't count as a gunner until you've taken at least one shot, but once you've fired, you'd have to leave the gunner's seat and remain in a passenger position for the require timeframe before being eligible for the bonus WP.

Something like that could work. Yet i'm not sure a WP boost is needed for the soldiers inside the DS. Is there really a need to incentize people in getting in a dropship ? I'd rather focus on pilot love first.

Working on DS\infantry relationship mecanics is needed that's for sure.

If you search "Pilot Comission", I also made a thread on it outlining a way for Pilots to gain WP.
The Auto Drop is needed really. A warning, "You are about to be deployed from the Dropship" needs to flash across the screen and then bam. I'm pretty tired of trying to use Dropships in a public match only to have all 6 players inside it trying to farm WP
