Here are some of my personal thoughts.
Similar to @Turbanator's suggestion, we could rework the transport points to a more generalised "pilot points". Pilots gain points for transporting players to the AO, stocking the FOB and eliminating targets from any CAS aircraft. I would structure the points something like; 0.5 for lightly armoured vehicles, 1 for heavily armoured vehicles, 1 for helicopters, 1.5 jets.
This would provide those more inclined to the CAS role an opportunity to increase their points from the CAS seat, rather than ferrying players back and forth to the AO. If you're a decent pilot, you could attain 20-30 points even with a Buzzard very quickly. The current arrangement isn't too bad, but I can appreciate where y'all coming from.
Something that could also be tweaked perhaps is how high you have to sit on the leaderboard to get the newer CAS aircraft. A little nerf may go a long way.

Space Engineers Update, Second Server and Giveaway!
Update Information:
Since the re-launch of our Space Engineers server two weeks ago, we have seen an explosion of interest in the gamemode, with the 50 slots sitting near full on most nights on the week. To ensure our player's experience remains smooth and as enjoyable as possible, we have released a second 32-slot server with a custom solar system and increased ore deposits. You can find both servers by searching "straya" in the server browser.
New Commands:
To assist with lag and make the transfer between the two servers as easy as possible, several commands have been added to allow players to switch servers and easily save and load ships between them. The new commands are as follows:
!savegrid <grid name> Stores your grid to your virtual garage, whereby you can pull it out on the other server.
!garage Shows all grids currently stored in your garage.
!loadgrid <grid number> Withdraw a grid from your garage.
!switch me Transfers you to the other server.
Space Engineers Giveaway:
To celebrate the release of our second Space Engineers server, we are giving away FOUR COPIES of the game to FOUR lucky community members. To enter, reply to this thread with the phrase: "The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire."
The giveaway will close and be drawn on the 27th of September at 21:00 AEST.
If you have any questions or require assistance storing and retrieving a grid, please give @James32 @bodyboarder2528 or myself a yell and we can assist you.
