I do think that there needs to be something to show for dropshop pilots, but flight hours i see as more of a bragging thing, whether you mean it to be or not.

I think that there needs to be bonuses for things such as:
-a player dropped from your ship giving a vehicle kill bonus if he makes a kill within 20 secs of leaving your ship and they will get a 10-20% increase if they make a kill within 15 seconds of leaving a DS, making the merc want to be dropped by a DS
-a player will give you a 50% hack bonus within 30 sec of leaving your ship and they will get a 10-20% bonus to WP as well making them want to get in your DS to hack an objective

stuff like that, that way you will show that you are a good pilot if you are using your DS for what it is supposed to be used for.

I dont think any bonus should be given based on performance or time in DS. if you are a good pilot with all your SP into dropships, then you will be a good pilot with a good dropship. if you are a good pilot with a bad dropship, you can still make the best of it and fulfill your role as a DS pilot and get decent WP out of it by dropping mercs off

I speculate that many things like this will be added when the maps open up

i
Iv posted that idie meny times, and still il will protect it but only 30 secs seems a little low about 1-2 mins should be fine

1-2 minutes is too long. they can run the distance to the drop off point within that time. 30 sec is plenty for an effective drop

Instead of a time, you could do it as long as they stay within a certain radius of dropoff, and expire after a minute or two, so snipers or defenders do not get all the WP
