Supply Marines (Drop pods)
Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Special closets wich allows marines to be dropped at supply beacon.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Sometimes we need reinforcements so badly, what we start to throw marines out of ship. And now forced specially trained marines volunteer to be dropped in something as thick as egg's shell straight at the battleground. This may somehow solve the problem of just-awaken marines.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Supply dropping is dangerous as fuck and drop pods are rare. It's confimed what almost 75% of dropped marines do not complain about this way of transportation. Most of them do not complain at all after that. There is also "SAFE" way to be dropped, but marine needs to be extracted from his pod. Pods can be ordered by Requisition officer. Drop pods can/can not be recovered after successul unsuccessful for marine landing. Or something like that. Also, being drapopped may be considered as punisment for BAD MARINEZ
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Dunno, may be as common closet or some kind of teleporting cryo. I'm just giving the idea.

-1, We're not the ODST, plus we already have better modes of transportation. Sending single troops at a time is a waste of time and resources.

Re: Supply Marines (Drop pods)
Think of the Colonial Marines as IG veterans (Hah!), they're more skilled than the average meat shield, but they're not worth dirt. They're grunts. There's no point in using drop pods, they're not reusable, and would need a lot of materials to armour plate it enough to be able to withstand entering orbit AND anti aircraft fire. There's no point.

Dem it I just went in topic to add huge bold capsed 'FOR TEH EMPRAH!!111111oneoneone' but people already ruined all the fun lol.
Still Im neutral to this idea because it may be turned in something more productive, for example on snow map placing beacon or simple console activation may switch landing pads for dropship and droppod thus letting marines to really cover breached zones and support evacuations.

Re: Supply Marines (Drop pods)
Using supply pods as a way to direct the droppod from LV-2 might be worth consideration, but.. er, no? -1

Re: Supply Marines (Drop pods)
necro for locked and denied?
Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...
...
But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!
~Furthermore, I consider that Floodlights should no longer be destroyed.~
