Right now it is, for all intents and purposes, infinite. But that's because no limits have been imposed yet. There will be limits.

RIght now it's merely decorative.

The real question you seem to be asking is how much control players are going to have over the drop ship or their actions within it. The answer, right now, is "not a lot." You probably won't have to fly it anywhere; there will almost always be vehicles better suited to the tasks you'll have as a player. Thought has been given to letting players control turrets on the ship, but that's not definite yet.
