It's not a simple solution, but an effective one. All mercs who exit a dropship have a timer (probably 1 min). Any actions within that timer grant an assist to the dropship pilot. Also, any merc spawned by the CRU will grant war points to the pilot when the merc receives his first war points for that life (this is not bound within the minute timer). The only potential downfall I see to this is mercs spawned just before the end of the game.
This will not only prevent abuse of any war points for simply dropping a squad in an empty field or spawning and jumping to your death, it will also reward the pilot for dropping a team in a tactical location or "hot zone".
The above solution helps dropship pilots be rewarded for dropping a team off, but how about an extraction? Well, the dropship pilot could receive points for having a teammate board the dropship within 10 seconds of taking damage, or a number of other things. I'd never thought about extractions until now, so any thoughts on the topic would be welcome. |

Probably that's the reason people start spawing in my dropship only after 5minutes or more i'm flying around...  Lol, yeah I don't get enough WP out of blueberries when they gun for me so I don't even fit a mCRU. I only call in a dropship when I'm either very bored or squadded with members of my corp. I fly a Myron though, so a mCRU would cut into my tank otherwise. |

I think if a merc decides to buy & pilot CRU DS and not a Militia DS he knows what she/he is doing. Yes it takes time and ISK to learn to fly DS. I constantly kill myself so i pilot (ok try to pilot) a Gorgon. In starter dropsuit... Last time i'v checked into CRU DS the pilot knew what he was doing and ferried me into the battle zone  And did not crashed after i got out... Though he got shot down later in match Always be wary of a Myron/Viper with a mCRU though. Either the pilot is trying to armor tank a ship that's not designed to, or he's cutting into his tank by losing that high slot. Avoid them like the plague! |
