I'm working on a kind of script hook system that should make it easier to add new modules and that also (hopefully) increases performance a little bit.
However, there will still be limitations (either by the mod or Starbound itself). A feature I had planned was to have shuttlecraft have cargo slots in which you can store items, but as far as I know its impossible to open a container window or scripted UI from a vehicle so I don't see that happening anytime soon.
The recon drone idea was actually something I was experimenting with before I released the mod. Right now I am working on some other major features but when I have the time I might look into creating something like this.
I'd like to have NPCs able to board shuttlecraft, but there are alot of problems with that since vehicles aren't really built for NPCs. The default NPC AI behavior messes things up, and vehicles are controlled by player input. So even if you manage to get the NPC to stay in the shuttlecraft, it won't do anything (like firing at enemies) without writing some sort of substitute AI.
Regardless, this is something I have been working on for the last few weeks and things are looking good. I still have to figure alot of things out, but if I can make it work we'll be getting our crewmember co-pilots in the next update.
At this moment I'm not planning to add more frames, I'd rather give the existing frames some additional options/unique modules to install. I do like the idea of dropping turrets and it may be something I'll look into when I have more time. I'm thinking maybe a special module for the bomber frame that allows you to do this? What do you think?
I think it is a great idea, thats kinda where I got the idea to create this post, maybe a unique droppable for each frame (recon gets drones, bomber gets turrets, med evac gets care package/flare, etc)
I like the idea of the auto-firing turret. A module like that is going to take alot of more work to make however.
About the terrain damaging bombs. I personally feel this should be a main feature of the bomber frame. What else would be the point of having that frame in the first place if every frame could do it.
There are alot of good suggestions and ideas for this mod, but unfortunately I cannot implement them all. Like any other person I don't have unlimited time so I have to make choices. The next update will largely be NPC related, but a few new modules will be added. Maybe after that update is done I can spend some more time looking at these ideas.
