So I know we have a dropship unit and things like the teleported but people haven’t been able to fan of both of those. I think we should meet in the middle bully giving the dropship a cheaper unit cost and a faster speed, to migrate unites across the map easier. Maybe even giving some tanks and such a quicker boost. Or even allowing the dropship to pick up tanks.

As far as alien, a giant bug would be cool to transport bug units that runs really fast but has low health. Bugs climbing on other bugs may be a good idea too.

The only good idea here is boosting human ground vehicle mobility.

Man, autocorrect butchered your original post

#

Bugs climbing on other bugs as troops transports has been suggested multiple times before. Shot down each time for 1 simple reason. The big units are slow and the small units are fast. Why would put bugs in a slower vehicle?

Now we used to able to have a Scorpion or Behemoth climb on a Goliath and use it as mobile cover. I'd like to bring this back as it opens up more combat potential for aliens with regards to coordination during an intense push

Aliens getting fast travel tunnels has already been confirmed by Dram as something he wants to do

#

No clue who you are referring to that hates the teleporter. It is what it is. It'll be reworked in the future though so it'll change. Too bad since I and so many others have relied on it in its current state, but the rework should make sense with future balance.

Finally, Dram does want to add special kinds of Dropships. Some will pick up Balterium from Harvesters and bring it to the Refinery, thus letting Harvesters work constantly.

Troop Dropship may be changed to have open sides so that infantry can shoot while riding. May also get some manned sponsons/turrets

Dram has said he wants to give the Dropships better speed.

Also not Dropships don't even work with AI units right now. They aren't liked because the concept is bad. They aren't liked because it's a nonfunctioning unit.

Vehicle Dropships are also planned, but little is known about them. Not sure how heavy the vehicles they carry will be. If the vehicles can shoot while being carried. Or how vehicle dropships will be integrated with the potential for vehicle teleporters.
