While we're at it. Let the LAV passengers shoot too |

Excellent point. A simple solution in my mind, allow passengers to shoot only while the bay doors are open.
This would give the bay doors an actual function, possibly encourage pilots to make real landings instead of hot-drops, and prevent DS's from becoming too OP. |

Also, reduce passenger count to 4 for standard dropships and to 2 for assault ones (i.e. 2 gunners + 2 passengers and 2 gunners only)
Only problem is, why would a clone be able to aim and fire from the dropship, but not reload? To be honest I think this would be more annoying than anything, especially for new players frantically pressing square in the dropship.
I still think using the dropship bay doors as firing limiters is the best choice. They would just need to tweak them so that they close sooner when the ship either climbs to a certain height, or moves beyond a certain speed. |

Excellent point.
My solution for this is to allow passenger shooting only while the DS bay doors are open. Additionally, tweak the doors so that they can only be opened when the dropship is very low to the ground, (0-25 feet) and hovering or moving very slowly.
This would ensure that passengers can only fire their weapons for a few moments before takeoffs/landings, rather than flying around the map with a full squad of mass drivers like you say.
Who cares what some sniper has to say
