I think CCP is afraid of how easily it can be abused. Normal uplinks have limited number of spawns. Even when placed in your red zone or inside of MCC(?) they give you limited number of WP for spawns. ANd there is limit how many can be activated at once. Dropships have that number unlimited.

Now consider this scenario:
Two players, each owning CRU equipped DS, play in turns. In each turn one is a pilot and lifts off and another chooses to respawn in buddy's DS. Then jumps out and dies from free fall. Then respawns into DS again. Repeats it until match ends. In another match they exchange their roles. It spoils their KDR of course.

To prevent this, CCP would had to introduce some penalty for using CRU on dropship to prevent WP farming.
1) Limited number of spawns inside CRU? (imagine your anger after THAT)
2) Maybe you earn points only when last passenger seat gets occupied and DS gets full?
3) Or some PG/CPU overheat after certain number of spawns, followed by long cool down period?
Any other constructive solutions?

Every modification to the game mechanics have to take potential unbalancing of the game into account. But i bet it's obvious to you

thats silly. You could aswell go by the same logic on ambush when you enter it solo. Have a logi type-I with 2 sets of gauged drop upplinks ( 2x4=8 uplinks, 1 uplink= 10 spawns, 80 spawns in total) and because when you play solo you are not in a squad and every 1 can use those uplinks and they will use it cause blueberrys are stupid and allways hit X to spawn. So you are granted WP. But thats not a issue cause you provide a better spawn point which is most of the time safe and not at some random location. Sure a mobile CRU has unlimited spawns but the downside is that it can be shot down with swarms pretty easy. The advantage is that it is mobile and can be relocated at a better location if needed. And you get only 25WP per spawn thats not that much for doing the whole team a favour if you ask me.

especially when the only thing that earns dropship pilots WP is for the dropship to not do its role as it is NOT a GUNSHIP those turrets are mostly for defense

the better to quickly insert fresh infantry into a hot zone, then fall back and lay down suppressive fire from the air

i never spawn in a dropship because its a BIG flying target

I never spawn in a dropship because most other pilots I see kill themselves before AV even tries to.

Probably that's the reason people start spawing in my dropship only after 5minutes or more i'm flying around...

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

[FEEDBACK] WP for Mobile CRU spawning: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?find=unread&g=posts&t=66225
Update: This is on our list of things to fix in the future updates. We are aware of the lack of WP rewards to players that donGÇÖt do kills.

Thank you CCP
