as if powerups aren't strong enough already, i really think its ridiculous that people should be allowed to drop them over & over & abuse it during games. can we disable drop in the cfg maybe? or will it have to be done serverside.

If, by abuse, you mean that the power-up clock gets reset after dropping, then it is a bug.

double quoted for effect.

so is this bug fixed?
also, why not drop weapons too?
cos i imagine you can make configs where you have to pick up various weapons... so dropping them should be enabled.

Please go read the default.cfg and go test the bug before making any more comments.
