N00b Questions - Transports

[Rayzer]

Yeah I could prolly look this crap up, but why? You can just tell me.

The transporters.....cool looking, neat idea.

However, sitting in a transporter for 30min while some pilot flies me to battle will be really ghey. Like my coworker said, some of the things in life aren't fun and shouldn't be in games. Like just sitting there doing nothing.

So is this a 5 min ride? I could handle that, or are we talking 30min. In which case I won't be playing the game. Is there stuff to do? Turret gunners etc. Are they for everyone?

Basically I'm trying to find out how long I'm going to have to go afk while i'm getting flown into battle.
