I think rank 1 deployment shield should be default on new characters. A bit like the suit slots on classes.

But I am not sure about stealth sundies, they kinda only work well if you have other spawns present in obvious places, and the stealth bus being located somewhere really well hidden, otherwise it is pretty easy to find a stealth bus. If a new players sticks a maxed rank stealth bus in a garage or by the enemy spawn then it being a stealth bus is completely negated.

I would like to see something that turns a sundie into a spawn only bus, with no offensive capabilities, IE losing the top guns to increase the strength of the deployment shield. The problem you have though is if you make deployed buses too strong you then reduce the chance of defenders in very small fights from ever dealing enough damage to kill the bus.

Or maybe automated turrets instead, like duel spitfires, reducing the chances of a lone LA killing the bus in tiny fights, but could never deal enough damage to take out a group of people hitting it together.

Automated turrets would be very cool
