How would you feel about dropships filled with swarm launchers or mass drivers for example? Dropships now are not so much threat like vehicles should be. It pretty thin and cannot deliver much DPS. If we allow people use swarms inside dropships it will not be untouchable weapon, because when they shoot all their ammo, they have to go out :) I think allowing customize dropships's DPS and type of damage in that way is a great idea: Take 2 gunners and 4 swarm launchers - you are ultimate vehicle destroyer. Forgegun can shoot you as usual, and when it happens your passengers are easy frag crowd. Take 2 gunners and 4 mass drivers - you can protect any NULL cannon, but need to stand still and low, vulnerable to everyone. And when they out of ammo - they easy frags again. Take 2 gunners and 4 forgeguns - well, I think, they kill can themselves and dropship too while maneuvering from time to time... But if not, maybe you realize at last, that forgeguns are too overpowered? Returning to swarms - if you think 4 swarms can fill a dropship, why 4 swarms can not gather and shoot that dropship? 2 shoots from each player will be enough to kill any dropship. I want to say, that at now drophips are at low dps, high cost and low HP. My Python not get killed every match only because I am not so much threat to other players. If we increase dropship's threat level, then they will be shot down more often and delivering, say, 4 swarms DPS to other players will be quite tricky. Maybe it will teach other players to look to the sky ;)

Dropships and other weapons along those lines that could allow forge guns and swarm launchers to shoot out of them, would simply just kill everything, giving no meaning to much of anything. You should think over how it will impact those who have invest time in vehicles, and various other things. Should I bring up the point about when the flaylock was hated by everyone with a light weapon? Maybe I wrong, so restricting use of some weapons from dropships is the best exit.
