then i'll lay waste my Bianchi to anybody that rush the cargo bay or going into the reactor room...
when...or rather IFif i die, i jump using the pod, land on their airtransport to stop people spawning, and attack from behind... most of them ussually dont realize im coming from behind.... and finish the job.

Its probably because one of your fellow defenders has either blown up the enemy transport or jumped in and out of it, probably thinking if they cant get onto the titan they cant blow it up. But defenders need the enemy to get onto the titan if they are to score any points. It has happened soooo many times to me now that it really is starting to bug me
If you are one of these people plz dont do it, you probably will find that you get more points that way
Which is a defender doing his/her job. What is defense if you actually allow the enemy to get in? Sure you think you have a great defensive plan all laid out. APM here, turrets there, with supplies and medical hubs here and there, with you and a trusty <insert weapon>, but for all your preparations all it takes is one foolish (or insanely smart) enemy to screw up all your plans. And while you're waiting around to respawn, this clever enemy has destroyed at least 1~2 consoles, placed a spawn beacon (which you've got to hunt down), and invited half their side to "camp out" and mine places where you're going to show up. And within a blink of an eye, you're dead again. Maybe it's that APM that you couldn't see or it was a combination of a well placed turret with a gunner just waiting for you to pop around the corner, etc.
Bottom line is that a defender doing his/her job properly means that NO enemies are getting on your titan and thus if they do board, they are quickly dispatched and their ability to get back on isn't as simple as selecting a spawning site.
What you are suggesting (allowing the spawn points to exist) is so that you can camp. A practice known as Spawn Camping, which in my book is as bad as stat padding. But let's not end there, how would it feel if I (the enemy) camped where you are going to spawn every time, over and over, again and again. I rack up tons of points and you get to suffer that 15 second spawn timer over and over again throughout the entire match. How does that feel? Yeah, I bet that doesn't feel to good does it?
Next, did you ever look at the score board closely? You get double, let me repeat that DOUBLE the points if you win. So you get 25 kills on a titan defense (which equates to 50 points), but I get 20 kills on titan offense (which equates to 40 points) however, my side won so instead of getting 40 points, I get 80 points. Now which side is the loser? Exactly. So get off your comfortable hidden hole and get in that fray solider. This ain't no game (well it is) so get out there and make 'em count.
After all it what General Patton said:
"No b**t*rd ever won a war by dying for his country.
He won it by making the other poor dumb b**t*rd die for his country."
Now I'll step off my soap box. Thank you.

I blow them up aswell, I play for the team and the victory ... not for my own 'points', I don't really think the game is ment just so you can 'earn some points', it's all about teamwork. The points will come if you do a decent job, there is no need to let people on your titan simply because you want some easy points ...
Where did I mention anything about getting EASY points? I didn't. I just dont like running around a titan bored out of my skull with 5 or 6 other people who are all on my team, who are also probably bored out of their skulls too for like 10 minutes. Does that sound like fun to you? Not to mention the fact that after running about for 10 mins MOST of the folk who have decided to defend bugger off to do summit else leaving 1 or 2 defenders left who then have to cope with a full transport that slipped by the AA guns, and then proceed to get raped big time and by the time more help arrives, oops too late our cores just been obliterated by the 6 recon guys and 1 support guy.
And BTW is BF2142 not a POINT orientated game? I think u need points to get unlocks and gain rank if I am not mistaken, so the game is meant to allow players to "earn some points"

Not to mention, taking their ship and not destroying it means that it wont respawn for the enemy, so itll be more difficult for them to get shit accomplished.

Picture this : You are on the titan and you have your wee tent out, camp fire lit and are getting ready to toast some marshmallows. Then on the mini map u see a transport suddenly appear and you think yay here they come, you kill 2 or 3 of them and think right they'll be back soon enough but they aren't. So you sit and wait, and wait then you wait some more but still no action or points. Its all a bit dissapointing.
