Here's something I just thought of that I dont' think has seen any discussion on yet. How about the SL have the ability to his group in a shuttle from a city and put down anywhere on the map? Basically an air insert ability. Take it one step further and be able to call that transport back in to evacuate from anywhere and return to a city. (nearest city perhaps). There's a combat support ability for you. Get your guys into a fight quickly and be able to get them out of a jam ina hurry. You could make the enabling device something craftable, like a radio, that the SL would need to purchase from someone.

Ah this is an important Idea again now that JTL NDA is lifted. I would like to say I think that SL's still need this ability and with the advent of multplayer ships this would not need to be a shuttle anymore.
the idea:
ranger and SL set up a field base, the SL allows for a drop zone for multplayer ship to land and disgorge it's passengers, the top turret could be used for base defense and multiple SL's could facilitate multiple ships landing close to each other near your target zone. then Assualts launch from these bases (where SL's and commandos can place fixed weapons) Rangers have to supply the base, master pilots can transport the troops etc.
