An AB'd DS is just about a agile as an un-AB'd ADS. Without turrets a DS can hold 4 passangers. Add preferred defenses. Shake well and bake on high for 45mins-1hr.
Poof, ideal transport ship.

Poof, ideal transport ship. Standard dropship with an afterburner is no where close to being as fast and agile as an ads.

Perhaps so... though I don't see how it's relevant.
Seriously though, standard DSs are agile enough and tanky enough to survive reasonable AV if fitted correctly (if you ask nicely I may share a few with you). The only real problem is the hardener animation that blocks gunner's view (making it hard to fight back against AV).

Um, since when could people not sit behind empty turret hardpoints? Quite a while now That is pretty ridiculous, and illogical.
I've asked for "seat" modules that take the place of the turret for an extra seat (for a small cost).

Not a big fan of the Gallente DS model. I prefer Caldari, though I have a few Incubus fits for certain situations and Grimnses fits for fun.
The Myron flies a lot better than the Grimnses, and it can field a pretty nice take on top of it. Only real draw backs are the few utility high slots (one is always used for an AB, so if you want to use a mCRU/scanner/etc. you only get 2 slots for your primary tank), and the shield hardener animation (as above, obstructs gunners vision).
Here are some fits I've tried:
Dual Booster Myron: you can mess with the meta levels of all the mods and sacrifice only a bit on performance. This fit is a psudo-active tank that relies on the boosters ability to kick-start regen. By doing it at the right times (between reloads for example), you can boost the 900 hp plus natural regen for a few seconds. Not to mention the huge buffer and lack of hardeners to help the gunner. If you want two gunners, just lower the booster to advanced, same boost amount, but slightly longer down time. Personally, I think its the best fit for Myron gunships.
mCRU Python: this is if you want to use a Python as a transport ship (also a special gift to me from Rattati, check my signature). It's not too tanky, so you need to be conservative with the situations you put it into.
Active Grimsnes: Just a theory-craft fit I came up with. I haven't tried it out personally, but it seems decent. After initial hit, rep back shields and turn on hardener. Has about 4.6k armor ehp and reps at 250ehp/s, hardened with proto turret.
