Dropships don't need any other weapons, high/low slots or increased HP, what they do need is:
-Passengers to be able to repair/fire from the dropship in flight, either with the bay doors open or closed. (having the doors closed would protect your occupants but reduce their field of view.)(also repair tools should be able repair shields and armor at the same time, just have different models that are better at repairing one over the other.)
-The pilot should actually be able to open/close the bay doors, being able to shield their troops from fire. (bay doors should no longer passively open when close to the ground, it should be up to the pilot to open and close them.)
-Bay doors should conceal turret gunners when closed. (the dropship turrets are not manually controlled but rather controlled by a computer screen operated by the gunner. just like a tank, so why are the gunners vulnerable on a dropship?)
--+reduce the amount of impact a hit causes to the dropship, causing it to be more stable while under fire.
I don't think these options are either too much to ask for nor are they going to make the dropship overpowered. |

being able to drop things like larger nanohives and small deployable turrets like people have mentioned would be a great idea!
Maybe a dropship could even have an equipment slot like a logie, but instead of having to resupply it at base, have the dropships equipment have a coldown timer, like 2 minutes or something reasonable so it's not overused for WP farming.
If they did this then they would have to add a skill to make large scale nanocircuitry available, and then have the same kinds of nanohives available now just resupplying at a faster rate, and lasting much longer. and of course larger.
I would't even go as far to say that it should be restricted to dropships only either, I think this would be a great idea for logistic LAV's or maybe even all vehicles in general. But restricting it to only dropships and logistic LAV's would probably be the best bet. |

Deployable mines/remote explosives would be an awesome addition as well. |
