I think a hovercom would be slightly more interesting, but overall still not worth putting work into.

Additional thought could be given to what could its per-level bonus be - Engine has bp/buildrange, Strike has regen, Guard has hp and damage, Recon has speed. Maybe it could slowly lose its vehicle-like maneuverability malus. That is, thought could be given if it was worth working on; which it isn't.
