Idea for new marine feature

[DerFlammenwerfer]

I'd like to think that the first wave of experimental paratroopers would be over convidence and fail miserably, but certainly love the idea of dropping experienced soldier behind the xenos to break mid round stalemate, Either the paras would get slaughter, or they regroup and succes.
Paratrooper can be used to help cut-off pocket of marines that have been flanked and help them retreat to enemy lines, or when an evac has left many marines behind and the para's is sent to help them go to the other LZ

Paratroopers could be the only aerial attack vector that gets through a core ceiling, but it probably would work well since the meta would then be hugger traps everywhere. If the troopers are experienced enough, they might do some serious damage. A scout could call one in from a flank route though, and that would be viable since the aliens might not even know the troops were dropped in

Not to mention, a way for reinforcements to arrive at the front lines during the late phase of a push instead of having to come all the way from LZ to the far corners of the map.
