No shields, average armor, but very fast and maneuverable. It sits only 3 people + pilot, and is design for quick accurate infiltration's into enemy territory.
It will allow corps to form infiltration specialist teams, and will give pilots a cool role in the game. It will also give the game a "extra" dimension, which is lagging right now.
I think this should be a standard craft, but with a higher price than the land equivalent.
Feel free to add more to it.

Really ? i never seen them ... I only see the big ones. Or maybe we talking about two different things ? I was talking about something in the line of a MH-6 Little Bird. |

Not exactly as you described, but yes. Modules can transform the role of the vehicle to do what you described. Boost in, drop, boost out.
Was in a dropship with afterburner modules on yesterday and an awesome pilot, and I have to say, moving from objective to objective was far quicker than the other teams dropship. |

Also, it may fix some of the "Red line" issues we have right now. It will allow the team in the Red Line, to do quick hit and run infiltration's, giving them a chance to break the deadlock. |

Tailoring your own little infiltration dropship will be possible in the future. With the addition of racial dropships and specialized dropships, things should get pretty interesting. Then there's the modules you can put on other dropships to lean into that area as well. These aren't in-game yet but: Active Camouflage, profile dampeners, afterburners, and even ECMs for when you're detected.

Sounds good for infiiltration.
However, it needs to keep shields. Why?
One word: Caldari.
Even if it always dies when an AV-focused weapon breathes on it, the Caldari, and to some extent the Minmatar, will want to feel like they are designed to the best of their abilities.
In another thread I posted about a suggested vehicle class whose primary purpose was a "trainer" vehicle. This suggestion would serve as its advanced variant.
Covert Ops AUT (Aerial Utility Transport) - Adds on to linked post.
Special Ability:
Cloaking. Reduced CPU usage for cloak.
Cannot equip a CRU module.
Tank:
Same as standard AUT.
Weapons:
None, however "dropping" equipment such as Drop Uplinks and REs can be deployed by the passengers below a certain altitude, when the aircraft is below a certain speed. Passenger-dropped REs can be detonated by the dropper without exiting the vehicle.
Cannot drop or detonate equipment while cloaked.
Passenger count:
3 - these guys are in wholly-exposed seats on the sides of the vehicle.
Role:
Infiltration or sabotage. Passenger equipment and landing locations are dependent on which role that is. |

Squad size is being increased to 6 next build, so you should probably figure out how to do whatever you want to do using the dropship. |

Even better, two infiltration teams in the same squad, hitting different objectives simultaneity, imagine the chaos.  |
