Galaxy + Light Assault combo

[Haro]

We've brought up before how Galaxies could be customizable for certain roles: vehicle transport, dedicated cloaked spawn point, etc. I was thinking of a Gal version that abandons the traditional bail out system in favor of an all LA drop squad, as they could still survive the fall. The galaxy would likely need a lot of stat boosts to compensate for the lack of variety of classes that could use this variation (maybe some combination of lower resource cost, higher speed, and significantly larger carrying capacity.) It obviously won't take the place of a regular, versatile galaxy, but I think it could fit well as a rapid reaction or scouting force, rewarding and encouraging a type of unusual specialization.

Thoughts?

There is gonna be a glider type jetpack from what I hear, to just glide down instead of jump up.

I suggested this idea long ago in this thread.

Two weeks later the Devs confirmed drop pods for Galaxys. Higby also stated it in a way I did with the idea. So if we're lucky, the devs are using some of my ideas and we're going to have unassisted drops too!
