Dropped cargo pods damage or kill any engineer caught underneath them.

However, if they land on top of enemies of any type, they do no damage.

It shocks me that such a game-breaking bug went unnoticed in one of the most obvious and intuitive methods for dealing with enemies.

Please rectify this at once; with my tungsten plate rods from god offline, I'm not sure how long my defenses can hold.

It's common knowledge that hardly bears repeating, but for completeness, note that cargo pod drops can target more than just the starting area via placing then deconstructing the landing pad / cargo bays.
