Because a dropship can be marked for defense, can be moved to another location easily, can't be camped and the CRU doesn't run out. At least that's why we've been doing it for a month. It's beneficial for many other reasons that are likely pretty obvious. |

Well, yes, but we have pilots that are literally just pilots.They like siting in there. They will fly us around from place to place, be an attack vehicle if needed, or just sit around on a roof for as long as necessary. Once they spawn their costly ship, they aren't going to abandon it, they will sit in it the duration of the game anyway so it doesn't get stolen or blown up. It the most versatile uplink you can have, really. |

To the OP. Put your DS in a place where gunner's can't get a kill. Then people won't just sit in there. Or, often when a pilot gets a bunch of permanent passengers that won't leave, he'll fly them toward the red zone so they want to get the hell out. In extreme cases i've seen pilots get so angry at passengers he'll fly toward the red zone at full speed and bail out right at the red line sending his ship full of lazy idiots flying out to suicide land and he'll chuckle and happily eat the cost of the ship. Bet the people that have experienced that don't stay in dropships that are clearly being used as spawn points only anymore. |

It the most versatile uplink you can have, really. So he's really using the ship like everyone else except for derpin in one spot on the map. I can only imagine how fun it would be sitting in the pilot seat watching peoe hop out. Instead of flying it around like a normal person so people can just hop out.
Right, but if the OP chooses to sit in one spot , that's really his choice. Not a totally productive or useful one if you do it the entire game, but it is certainly useful in specific scenarios. If he wants to do it though, so be it. As soon as someone like myself gets wise he's up there doing it you can bet we'll be up there in a jiffy to ruin his day ;) |
