I really like where this is going. I'm a bit sad, because the blaster turret in front of an ADS can do half the job I want it to do in PC, but I guess thatGÇÖs it.
Anyway, I also think that pre-fitting blaster on standard dropship would be a problem. However, what you can do is replace small rail on Gorgon by blasters, and change the federation and AUR Grimsnes alongside Creodron dropship with blaster instead of missiles.
As for caldari dropships, i donGÇÖt know if that would be interesting to pre-fit blaster on them as a flux grenades and HMG can be a threat as great as rail tanks. I think the best would be to let them with missiles so it represent two different gameplay.
- The heavy tanked gallente dropship making close combat support, short range deployment and emergency evac
- The light tanked caldari dropship making -½long-árange-+ support, mid range deployment ; but which must take risks if it come to take allies on the ground
Talking of witches, mobile CRU might be something you also want to consider if you want to give a new breath to the dropships. They are intended to be fitted on transport dropships or MAV (but I donGÇÖt expect to see them so soon).
In order to do that, I suggest giving WP to mobile CRU (we are asking for this for more than a year nowGǪ), and giving a bonus to dropship operation that reduce the PG/CPU of mobile CRU (because that thing take a lot of it).
The other way to have a correct fitting that include mobile CRU would be to have back the Prometheus and the Eryx. But once again I donGÇÖt expect to se them ever again

To change a bit of gameplay, we tried with some friends the blaster as a side turret on the Incubus.
Provided it came in range, the turret is litteraly a monster, against both infantry and vehicles. (the gunner bug is greatly in cause for this). I still have some brain bugs when I see this poor Myron  (3.50 on the vid),
Here is a sample of what happened during those games : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ITGU-EAYas
The best thing in having a side blaster is the cover fire you can provide when it come to attack a position. And if you have the possibility to work with 2 guys that use the ADS as a transport, it is even better. I hope that this will become the gameplay of Gorgons and Grimsnes in the months to come.
