Honestly I'd like this as a tool for my squad. I fly over an objective, tell everybody to "GO GO GO" and then wait a few secs for them to get out. What I could do is say "Guys, I'm gonna drop you in 3 2 1" and eject them all at the exact same time, without ever having to come to a full stop. We can also keep this from dropping people to their death by making the inertial dampener automatically activate. |

Blueberries be spawning in on it and they just sit there, maybe firing the turrets wildly here and there, rather than getting off and capturing that node i'm hovering over. I can't hover around for more than ten seconds as every enemy red dot that saw me is pulling out their swarms for a tasty Dropship snack.
So really I need to get in to the hotzone quickly, troops get off quickly, and then I move on to a safe spawning position.
The weak link in this process is the whole troops getting off ordeal. Better to kick them off rather than waiting for them to take a hint. My advice is to ditch the mCRU. You aren't getting points for it, and if you're in contact with your squad then it's easy enough to pick them up. The blueberries are just going to clog turret spots that could be filled by squad mates. Plus, that way you have more PG for fitting. |

A mercenary makes a conscious effort to get into my 650,000 ISK flying brick. I paid for it, I'm the one counting on WP from the turrets. I paid 80,000 ISK to put that proto turret in there, and now he just shoots at the MCC. I want him the hell out. I brought in 3 other mercenaries from my corporation, and while I was landing to pick them up, he slid in and got on a turret. Now, the guys that I have contact with and trust can't use it because of Idiotface McGibbons over here.
Also, as for "get better teammates", last I recalled corp matches don't give SP and I don't have a way to bring 15 other Dead Six mercs in with me. F*ck off. |
