How to make NDS useful.
1) Increase Stability
Currently an NDS rolls around a lot especially when under fire, increasing stability allows the NDS to be more confident with low altitude actions, even when under fire.
This should be a big draw for the NDS, because your troops are infinitely more effective if they don't need to activate the inertia dampener.
2) Improve Transport based WP
Currently the NDS has the lowest WP/min of any role, which results in lower personal payouts and SP gain. This puts off a lot of people from this kind of role.
Increase Transport Assist Commission to 25% of the transported players WP earned every minute the player strays no more than 100m from his drop point.
Example: You drop 3 troops at one null cannon and 3 at another, within the first minute they achieve 300 WP between the 6 of them, currently you recieve about 30 WP in transport assist. But they could then equally pull out 700 WP each min for the next 3 mins defending these points.
Provided they do not leave the point, you would now instead recieve 75 WP in the first min, then 175WP for the next 3.
3) Give WP for mCRU spawns
This is a big thing, why bother putting these on your fit, if all they do is spawn idiots in your dropship.
It should have at least the same WP gain as an uplink.
4) Hotfix in additional 'teamplay' modules that benifit deployed infantry.
We are talking unlimited nanite supplies for people within 20m of your dropship.
Active Triage Fields that give every suit in its radius 20-30 Armour Repair per Second for a short period of time.
5) Give WP for extractions
Not only do transport WP need to be improved, we need to reward a successful extraction for someone under intense fire.
Give 15 WP for picking up someone with less than 50% eHP (EXTRACTION)
Give 25 WP for picking up someone with less than 20% eHP (EXFILTRATION)
Give 40 WP for picking up someone who has been revived within the last 10 seconds (CASEVAC)
6) Make the NDS more durable
7) Nerf uplinks, so the NDS is the preferred method of troop insertion

We are already cutting mCRU down, and increasing PG/CPU by 10%, eHP around 1000. I see from the data that the Myrons is unpopular and worse performing than the Python. Anything simple and smart to boost it a little? We also want to buff the transport WP.
More Stability, Shield Based Dropships have a tendency to be whacked around a lot more than armour.
Make it so the Myron and Gorgon will barely flinch, to a swarm launcher.
