Falkoner is right, it does look better. And I have to make an Example Map for this. I won't post it, but if you want me to I will.
None.
by the way, I believe dropships are the slowest-loading of all the transports, and overlords are fastest.
so if you want to go for a faster inventory-selection experience, use an overlord. shuttles are still probably faster than dropships.
some people may claim there's no actual difference, but I think there is. even if I'm wrong, the sound effect makes the overlord sound faster. sounds like a "chunk", like you're dropping a piece of fruit, instantaneous effect, rather than powering down a computer or something.
None.
No... all drops are the same speed, 250 ms (i think, i might be wrong).
None.
They're the same speed, but most transports move to get the units, so that makes an overlord faster since it accelerates to full speed almost immediately.
None.
