You didn't answer their question, you just said how to drive it guy. I'm not sure how you would just make it sit there.

no... w-passenger doesn't drive it... if its referring to SP then yes, just change all passenger seats to w-passenger, that makes the passengers just sit there and shoot at you from that spot... if he wanted to DRIVE it then you would change the pilot seat to w-driver you see where I'm getting at?

Sorry, I misread. It still won't cause the ship to sit there, as far as I know anywho.

well, i don't know about siting there, but as the droppies are making their rounds, they wont unload and they will shoot at you (the speed of the response varies for which difficulty you are playing at eg: easy = slow reaction Legendary = if you can see it, they're already shooting at you) stopping requires some sort of mission editing...

I'm not sure how exactly everything plays out with dropships and them flying away but i'm guessing it's scripted. So if you deleted the script that told the dropship to fly away after it let the troops off...That's just a guess though. You may want to ask one of the members around the PC area that have demonstrated their knowledge of PC modding. IE: personal messages.

Can covenant even sit in w-passenger? Don't want to be seeing any grunts shooting from the cliffs >.>

I did this once on danger canyon. Just PMI the dropship and an elite, then put the elite actv in the driver seat, and the default dropship gun in the gunner seat. Now since the elite + dropship is not scripted or anything in the mp scenario, it will just float there and shoot at you, hovering up and down a little and rotating after you.

Okay thanks, I'll give it a shot.

You would have to either change the script (if you have the ablility) so that they fly in and just shoot at you, or do what Patrickh suggested.

Good luck

So is it possible to make AI banshee pilots smarter and shoot at me instead of just ramming me?
