If you have drop pod assault and get to deploy half of your drop pods in your first turn and one of those units in the DP has scout (gets to move b4 game starts) how would that work? Since scout gives the ability of the vehicle also would you get to deploy that DP b4 the game starts, then potentially move and assault when it is ur turn?

For example I am using vanilla marines and have that 2nd company captain (special character) I get the first turn, I have 3 DP (2 get to automatically come in the first turn as the DP assault special rule) and I give one of those units in the DP scout rule since that is one of that special characters ability, Can I deploy 1 of the 2 DPs right away b4 the game starts then when it is my turn move the unit that just came in and get my other DP because of the DP assault special rule?

Or am I getting the vehicle rules mixed up? I thought the vehicle gets scout if the unit inside it does.

No. While Scout would be conferred to the dedicated transport, you MUST be in reserves (DPA rule requirement) and therefore CANNOT use Scout.
