I actually prefer landing next to the crash.

They wouldn't care much. They couldn't. A hit would mean you need a mop to find them.
Though, a UGV mounted SHIVA would be pretty damn fun.

Because no ammount of tanks beat death from above.
Not to mention that UGVs are more along the lines of automated drones than tanks.
Much, MUCH smaller making it more useful in tight spaces but at the cost of firepower. Probably fares better in cities, though.
Unless there's AAA involved.

Actually, the SHIVA gun is the same calibre as the sniper rifle if the fluff is to be believed. A pity you can't use it's bullets on it.
Of course, there's probably also the thing of the a dropship mounted cannon probably firing bursts rather than single shots making any potential target a cloud or red or green mist in an instant. It'd even make the HEI rounds useful for something. At the expense of the unfortunately invulnerable environment, of course.

Would be fun for base defence, though.

I don't even have to go inside with bolters.
All I have to do is place them beside the entrance, grab the ridiculously misrepresented IR goggles and then kill them dead through the floor.

Bolters save my arse from fighting inside harvesters, have a way better ammo capacity than the coilguns and they're generally lovely for close range combat.
I admit the fact that they're fucking railguns might have a slight effect on my decision.

Well, on one hand, it could spell trouble, but I guess you could use the basic design to design your own computer with a similar style.
Oh, and thanks for the welcome.

You could gas them, though. Doesn't seem to have any recorded permanent effects.
Well, as long as you're going for the Spetznaz approach, anyway. It'd certainly cut civilian losses in the bloody parking lots.
And some precision SHIVA fire would be fun. No real reason to have the dropship just sit there.

FAQ / Re: Sniper rifle as accurate as a slingshot!

More like Boom, squishie down.
Even with the natural resitance, a Taman doesn't really fare well against a bullet big enough to take on tanks and aircraft.

I actually saw this rather interesting video* on Youtube that touched on the subject, actually. Short version is, if there's thinking involved, folks don't really work well once money gets involved. Also talked about how folks like doing tinkering in their spare time without expecting pay. And yes, I did butcher it trying to explain the thing. In hindsight, it kind of reminds me of this well known indie game that's been talked about lately.
But of course, I already wouldn't support this just because I wouldn't be able to buy it anyway but that's irrelevant.
*By RSA Animate if it sounds familiar.
Oh on the topic of trying to capitalise on everything, if this wasn't my first post I'd make an off hand comment on you, a well and ceasing of biological function.
But at this point I'm not sure if that'd be too well received here.
Edit: Forgot to mention, but from what I've gathered, charging for mods can lead to at least a bit of a little something called a "shitstorm."
And a financial crisis doesn't change the human nature. Just kicks it in the groin for few seconds.
