I've seen the pictures of the new drop pods over at a couple other sites. They've got clearly opening doors, and large amounts of empty space between the fins.

Given the new TLOS in 5th ed, how will these new models impact how drop pods are played? Will actually opening the pod doors be a requirement when they land? Will the size of the doors affect where they can land? Or will the 'build-a-wall' technique conveniently ignore the fact that your marines actually need the doors open to get out of the pod?

There's already a discussion going on here on the topic. It's a doozy of a topic (bonus: I look like an idiot in that thread too).

I'm going to lock this thread as a duplicate, but simply for housekeeping sake. PM me if you want to keep it open.
