Hey Guys
There is one thing, that I can't get out of my head an need to see discussed: If you are in a vehicle an somebody kills another clone with a weapon of this vehicle you get a kill assist - even if you had nothing to do with it. I saw a dropship with skilled pilot and gunners. Because you could spawn there, every seat was taken until it got destroyed (gz for Jackpot) - What means, that there were 4 Players just sittig there and collecting WP for free and missing during battle.
It is necessary, that the pilot gets revarded for the ISK and flying (like a boss). But everybody else? As an infantry I get WP for a real assist (not just for beeing there / looking at the action) and maybe it should be the same way up in the air or in LAV/HAV.
Dropships are for transportation and Air-Support and not a "WP-while-afk"-mashine.

The passengers probably don't deserve a vehicle-assist until they can do something like fire with their personal arms... I just had a vision of a dropship loaded with Forge Guns and HMGs... it was glorious....
Anyway, they probably all get points as a quickfix method of giving the driver points for driving. Plus, as weak as dropships are and as idiotic as a decent number of the pilots are, anyone AFKing in them has an average lifespan of 4 minutes.
(support for idiotic pilot claim) Dropships are for dropping people off. They are not gunships, we don't have them yet. They are a space Blackhawk, not a space Apache. |

Pilot gets squat currently. The only thing that works, that I can think of, is for the pilot to be Squad Leader then set Defense on the DS itself. That does nothing in relation to dragging along dead weight Blue Berries.
Eject buttons have been requested.
Points for pilots have been requested.
Many suggestions have been made.
So far, no replies from on high.
You might not know this but many of the higher level pilots remove the spawn point. Solves the free riders to some extent. At least the spawning free loaders. This way that have to at least run to the DS. Normally the pilot has enough time to get away from the horde. |

Pilots can't be squad leader because you can't call in an orbital strike while in a vehicle. And there's no way to return a vehicle. And if you get out of your vehicle to call it some random player will take it. |

That's a way, but not the sense of it at all. The Uplink itself can be very usefull for traveling to an objectiv or a "safe" spawn during ambush.
But what I wanted to say in general is, that IMO CCP needs to redesing the assist in vehicles, so that you only get WP when you were involved
- you had a hit on the killed enemy
- you flew or drove the vehicle during the kill
- you repaired the vehicle during the kill |
