On the proper topic: i have some experience playing vs GS (mostly on Fairyland) and yeah it doesn't feel that fun because both the gunship raider options eminently roflpwn ground raiders. Playing *as* gunships is also mostly doing enough damage / instilling enough fear while you quickly switch to ground, because once they amass enough mobile AA, your game is up.

I've taken to starting Shields when i think i can get away with it because non-raider Shield units are eminently resistant to both Banshees and Rapiers, and because Racketeer is an actual antiheavy while Spectre is a piece of junk.

I could see how Gnat and Banshee swapping weights would be good here. A "flying bandit" feels like it would have a lot of the defining characteristics of the Banshee - speed, ability to pick engagements, liberal allterrain, focussing down on critical things - but also not magically defeat Glaives and Bandits and whatnot.

It would also strengthen the riot/raider relationship where banshee is the raider.

The obvious downsides of this plan are that 1) this does nothing to Rapier, which still exists 2) banshee-scale Gnat might be a terrifying option for comnaps and have other unexpected side effects.
