Pelican leaves after one man enters

[TheSphereOfTruth]

This has happened three games in a row. Recently, if one man enters the pilot instantly leaves and the other three are left behind, Is this a new glitch or am I getting unlucky?

No, this works as intended. When the first person enters, you have like 15-30 sec (i forget how long) to get on the pelican before it leaves.

is the landing zone over run?

He is saying instantly, not after 15-30 seconds. That is not working as intended.

No as in as soon as one man enters it leaves instantly, not 15 second.

no u didnt read his question, the plane leaves if only 1 person gets on, no timer fo others. most of time for me when this happens it is when the extraction is just filled fully up with mobs.

Does it leave now that it is overrun? That has never been a thing in the past

Its becuase if the pelican stays there for a long enough time, the timer will count down anyway. At that point, if even a single person enters, it'll take off and leave the other 3. It's kinda BS.

I think it is due to the shuttle taking damage. Had a run where I was 5 feet from the shuttle with 15-20 seconds left on the timer and an eagle strike hit a swarm of bugs that were fairly close. The SECOND the eagle strike hit, the shuttle took off despite still having 15-20 seconds left on the evac timer. So I believe there is correlation between the two.

Pretty sure the shuttle is invulnerable to any and all damage.
Had a orbital laser literally blasting it for multiple seconds without anything happening.
No take off, no destruction.

OP is probably experiencing a bug.

I have had this happen once. It seems to be a glitch. There was no 20 second countdown to get in there, it just took off instantly with my friend.
