As per exactly where in the 40K rulebook, Exlorn?

I think he's referring to 4th edition rules where immobile vehicles didn't count as scoring.
uhm, drop pod assault rules in space marine dex pg 69.
dont count as scoring, but do contest, even if immobile.
also apparently are considered moving up to 12". so the guns inside cant fire...(atleast thats what im told)
You are 100% correct there StrikerFox.
Drop Pods can contest in 5th Edition (not to disparage Exlorn's effort to the contrary) as they do not have a rule that prevents them from contesting an objective, such as Rippers.
Also, when a vehicle Deep Strikes it counts as moving at Cruising Speed, and since a Drop Pod is neither Fast nor has the Machine Spirit rule anymore, you cannot fire any weapons on the turn that it Deep Strikes in.
I stand corrected. I guess I should really learn to look stuff up no matter how sure I am before I post.
I'm also delighted to be wrong in this case as I'm the only person in my group playing with drop pods.
Correct. But yours are BS2, so I'm alright with that trade off!
BA pods are BS2 but still can't shoot when they arrive. Life is so unfair.
