Pilots are often often ranked by the hours flown.. Could we track this CCP. Why? well a few reasons :
1) You can spot the old from the new. Old is not better but it is experienced. With KDR for ground troops there is no measure for us pilots.
2) You could award ranks at n number of hours. So while not making the hours flown available you could award a pilot a rank. Hours logged only applies to a certain level of drop ship. Say STD or Proto. Whatever.
The reason for this is to give a small nod of effort toward those long suffering pilots. Hours in the air could lead to a pilot rank and each rank could unlock something on the skill tree. Kind of like a pilot mini skill tree. SO after 100 hours in the air you get a bonus to PG.... you get the idea.
Mature community of pilots that you are.. thoughts? |

I think it's really quite simple to distinguish experienced pilots from unexperienced ones:
Unexperienced pilot:
Motivated, bright, happy person who believes in the usefulness of the dropship and Santa Claus.
Experienced pilot:
Spiteful forum-troll that has given up on life and posts sarcastic but ultimately boring comments about flying coffins. |

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 |

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 |

I feel your pain as a pilot- I have to also admit- You can already distinguish a good pilot from a blueberry. Flight hours may not be the best idea- maybe flight minutes.
I do think there needs to be a better reward system for pilots- currently I feel that increased isk is that reward. However I suggest we wait until CCP releases the details about the new pilot drop suits- I have a feeling these suits will distinguish a true pilot from a " eh pilot " - Save your skill points fly boys!
Closing argument " WE NEED MORE ISK "

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 |

and what if your DS takes fire and you have to jet out? |
