Does the NS beacon still drop players in pods? Maybe they should change that unlock so squad members just "appear" like regular spawning. It'd be harder to camp when you don't see them coming.

In my opinion, SB are designed that way because if they weren't, the game would look like a Quake arena. You normally spawn on fixed places without surfing (except maybe transports) and without a smoke trail, but all the others know about these fixed places. But when you spawn on a SB, this can be anywhere on a map, I mean everywhere, even in places you cannot normally pod surf, because you can always drop with a chute from a transport and place your SB on a high rooftop. So, little damage has been done with cutting off the pod surfing.
Even without pod surfing, even without much "mobility" to SB, a well-placed one can win a round completely. It is a standard Titan tactic to deploy a SB right between the two enemy AA where it is hard to reach. Keep in mind that, in theory, you can have as many SB as half the players in each team, so we're talking about A LOT of SB (I don't think there is any total limit, is there?). If they could be dropped or moved more freely, it would really be a mess.

And what about rooftopping on Berlin and other city maps?
