Imho, the Eye in the Sky was one of the most pointless units in E:BFD what with being needlessly convoluted, but okay. I think it was suggested that something like this would be made possible in Ares, but it was shot down (pardon the pun) rather quickly.
Well the kamikaze planes have been a frequent phenomena in Ra2 mods, and there's not been much complaints there. This could work out in the way that the saboteur is armed with chaos gas death charge whereas the ship has a heavy explosives warhead. Also, the dropped crewmember was invincible in Emperor, this one could be aswell and it's falling speed rate could be increased.
