What's the point of them all having the same thing? one will be better than the other, and then there would be no point in oneor more. LDS should just stick with being good at ferrying and dropping people off (as well as picking them up).

Except that CCP has shown that they want Dropships repairing vehicles in multiple trailers. Even if they just received a bonus to fitted remote reps, instead of a built in remote rep, it would be nice to get some logistics going on. If you want to ferry people around, you can do that in any kind of dropship. Instead of stifling creative teamwork, we should be encouraging it.
They can still equip repairers, they just wouldn't be the best at it. My point still stands.

still waiting on you to counter me, as you're still avoiding my argument.

I very look forward to logistics dropships and their intended roles on the battlefield.
Personally I think remote repairs for vehicles, are not something that drop ships should be doing.
I see logistics dropships as the following roles
1) Covert Insertion
A LDS should be the only craft capable of stealthily inserting large groups/squads behind enemy lines, this should include being the only vehicle capable of activating a cloak.
2) Providing Close Air EWAR Support
Every squad should have an eye in the sky and nothing should be better at that than an LDS, scanners jammers, ammo, mobile spawns should all be within the scope of an LDS
3) Shock Trooper transport
LDS's should be the best for dropping of large numbers of troops quickly, a lack of turrents means that an LDS is best suited to LANO hotdrops while modules like a broadside shield wall , smoke screens should allow troops to quickly deboard with the minimal amount of fire support.
I see we can agree on something; it's not a repair. However, all three of your roles can be covered by other vehicles (ADS, FRDS, LMV, and SLAV). The LDS should be a overall ultimate infantry transport.
