There is a slight problem- I saw a group of 3 or 4 people boosting today. If they would put one more person in the passenger seat of the LAV they were boosting in, this would get them even more WP.

In my opinion a vehicle drivers should receive WP when a turret operator in the vehicle receive WP.

In additional to that a vehicle driver should receive WP for transporting mercs. However that is harder to implement. If you give WP for just time/range drove, it'll be abused very easily.

I suggest the following (or something like this ):
- when a merc enters a vehicle you set a timer on him for the vehicle
- when he left a vehicle
--- if the timer is greater or equal than T1 you assign a flag F1 to him for the vehicle owner
--- if the timer is lower than T1, you start to count it back
- when the merc receive WP, if flag F1 for the vehicle is set, than that vehicle owner get WP (fixed amount or part of the merc WP) until he receive MAXWP1 number of WP

This way a vehicle owner receive some WP (but maximum MAXWP1 WP) only if a merc whom he's provided transport service (for not less than T1 time) do something useful (receive WP).

I've seen this suggested before, and I super don't get why keeping people in the vehicle would be a metric of success for a vehicle operator. The idea of a transport is to get people to an objective and back out of the vehicle as soon as possible. That's why transport assists (awarding a driver a portion of points earned by someone they recently dropped off) are a good idea, because it encourages a driver to take people to somewhere they'll make a difference.

This idea does the opposite of that. It encourages you to keep people in your vehicle and out of the fight for as long as possible.
