Switch the fix camera view of the passenger of galaxy from top to bottom. With crosshair would be better. Personally I use mini-map for accurate drop.
Gal dropping in ps2 was one of my bugbears. Take a lesson from ps1; don't inherit momentum, maybe forward momentum and not much of that, as you're falling make it possible to steer.
and we sorely need a deploy function for the pilot! since the left and right mouse buttons have no function those could be used. left click ejects passengers, right click ejects passengers and gunners.
