Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Wait, do the dropship shutters currently not cover the back door?

Wasn't the moment the Pilot in Alien died, caused by a xenomorph that snuck on board and killed him? Sure, it's pretty shitty to force death via RP and make it unavoidable, but regardless, sure. +1
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Xeno, those are transit shutters. They always do that. The dropship shutters are on the same tile but are only activated by button pushing.

I wouldn't be surprised in the future if Dropships had a attachment system where the PO can attack one or two unique items to a Dropship to alter its performance, and having secondary shutters that can be closed by the PO being one of them.

On topic. On one hand I do think that having closable shutters is a good thing, but on the other hand it heavily incentivises POs to get the dropship back to the Almayer ASAP.
This is war, survival is your responsibility.

The back shutters can be closed through a button in the hold.

Resolved.
