What im trying to do on ambush is call in a dropship land it in a safe location and made it a spawn point for the whole team but everytime people spawn most f them wont leave the dropship causing problems should i keep doing this and hopefully people will figure it out or should i stop? |

Why not just use a drop uplink rather than a super expensive flashing light thats going to get attention and blown up in about 30 seconds? |

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. |

Doesn't someone have to stay in it in order to spawn at it |

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. |

Wait until you have an organised squad- then use an LAV because it's cheaper and a harder target. |

"Back in the day", which is to say, right now, before the Codex expansion, if you were Gallente you could do this for free. You'd have the Baloch--Impact BPO and could load it up with Militia gear, including a Militia Vehicle Spawn Beacon.
So, for free, you could call down a vehicle which your team could spawn in.
Enjoy it while it lasts... |

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. |

Just fit a clone bay onto a LAV. LAVs have a smaller sig radius, can move faster, and they are cheaper. |

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 ;) |

I tried to do this at the start, I wanted to be a pilot not for any kills or for a great amazing score, but to help my team out the best I could. I would call my ship in, rush them to an objective (6 full) and I'd think to myself, this is great, I can have two gunners supporting a squad as they descend into the objective and capture it. Nope.
They stayed in the ship, the gunners shot the MCC and the entire 6 of them were utterly useless. Eventually my ship got smashed because I lingered over the area too long waiting for them to understand that we were over the objective, 5 of them died when we hit the ground, me and another survived.
Right now, I hate randoms, I enter a game and I despise each of them because they're utterly useless, don't turn on voice comms and sit there not helping at all, hoping they can get some easy vehicle assist points. I've send around 4 mil worth of Myrons into the Redzone with me safely bailing out because I just got fed up with trying to help people and having them be idiots.
One guy I had in my ship the other day, I flew him over the objective, landed there because no enemies where there. He sat in the gunner position shooting the objective and then I got hit by a forge gunner, killing us pretty quickly.
In short, don't bother trying to help a group of randoms. Go meet people with comms and if you ever see them in a match, sure, help them, but until we get the ability to kick players from our ships, I wouldn't bother helping a random team member. |

I'm mad that a 50 ton dropship landing on a scout camping on top of a hill doesn't kill them. Seriously, I landed my dropship ON TOP of a scout. He didn't even notice until he tried to move and committed suicide VIA grenade trying to kill me. |
