Having an engineer handy would just be immediate and regenerative(?,) as opposed to calling in a supply craft that might get shot down if the airspace is too hot and if not, it would have to return to a depot to grab another drop.
One final suggestion: 5 man cargo hold option for a light and quick aerial transport?

Perhaps a variant that gets rid of the supply drop mechanism and instead turns the Hammerhead into a light transport aircraft?
Though I would limit it to maybe... three or four passengers and it wouldn't be a very tough vehicle (no weapon either?). There needs to be reason for having a single Galaxy (for example) instead of three or four hammerheads (Galaxy is tougher, more precise/coordinated drops, but is slower and a bigger target than a hammerhead).
On the same token, a Galaxy acts as a deployed respawn location. A Hammerhead transport variant would simply serve for passenger relocation (award experience for dropping them off, then perhaps bonus exp' if they score kills?).

On second thought, though. Having a supply drop + passenger cargo would have great synergy. Drop a supply cache where you load your troops off, etc.
Definitely helps reinforce the idea of moving troops around quickly instead of "okay, the Galaxy is landed; have fun."
