Before I'll dig in I think you should know:

It should be renamed to Gunship not Gunboat

I like it, US Army uses flying planes with guns on the board too! And those are called Gunships...

This was already brought up a couple of times before. The name was because FA suggested it and OP complied with it. But I just had this reason come to mind right now which is:

That I haven't heard any or much of boats but rather more of ships or vessels used in classification of space vehicle types. So naming it a boat really sounds unsuitable compared to ship. Hmm.. maybe because of 'rowboat' which implies we need to row? in space. So yeah, I support the motion to rename it to gunship.

I oppose.
It has crap attack.

Actually, screw the firing slits option.
Why don't we have an upgrade for the dropship that turns it into a ground-pounding (only) AC-130 of the future but removes its transport ability?

how about a dropship that once upgraded, can drop bombs or something instead of infantries.

Another thing I don't know if was brought up is new standard Ghost's attack.
He has now 5 damage +30 bonus versus light units!! and this would be devastating against workers / HT's / etc...?

Isn't a Battlecruiser supposed to be a giant ship?
The question which once haunted my being has been answered. The future is not fixed, and my choices are my own... and yet, how ironic! For I now find, I have no choice at all! I am warrior... let the battle be joined.

gunboats saw use in the vietnam war patrolling the rivers. They're basically patrol boats that have guns on them

the a-10 warthog and the apache helicopter are referred to as "gunships"

yeah its fine to refer to any space faring vessels as ships, and vessels themselves connote ships

I always thought that the name Phantom would be used for Terran because of all their other apparition names: Ghost, Banshee, Wraith...

Anyways, what about we add a new unit, lets call it the Engineer. The Engineer can enter vehicles or buildings and make them more efficient, or in the case of the Dropship, it enters it and changes it into the Gunboat (Gunship? Gunplane? Gundam?)...or a Medivac or something...

Okay, I felt like I had a good idea but now I have no idea where I'm going with this...
this is my quote.

The engineer should also be able to make a turret. They could make his role more useful by allocating him some mana to repair it. This mana could be replenished by another structure he could build. The "repair" skill could be auto-castable and he could then spend the rest of the game sitting behind his wretched sentry-gun, I mean turret, repairing it, and do nothing else of any use whatsoever.
