Since this is not a "feature", but an idea for a bot, I thought that I'd throw it out here.

Thinking of something that would simulate a helicopter gunship with chainguns blazing away.  Maybe variants with teeny missile launchers-- but I like guns.

As far as I know, everyone gets firearms as a basic skill, so no colour will be disadvantaged at the start.

Fast, fragile, and uses autocannons or the like.  Relatively cheap so that you can lose one without it being days to grind it back.  Probably less useful for PvE than for PvP: these would be flankers and strafers.

Probably they should not have enough power to run ECM, if they are fast and manoeuvrable-- although if they are also fragile, that may not be as big of an issue.  If they are firearms ships, they could be built with small accumulators.

One feature that they might have is a fairly high slope angle, since they won't actually be "flying" that high (unless this game will support a z-axis).  This makes them more like GEVs than helicopters or 'planes: they come swooping up, over and down ridges and from the periphery, hit the targets and run like heck.

Playing Wagner in the background, of course.
