Redsec Wishlist

I love this game, I love redsec or conquest with the dudes. Every part of this game is a blast in my opinion... but Redsec needs some tweaks I think.

Early game redeploy: The free redeploy needs to go. The free redeploy makes Redsec too aggro up front, and it also punishes a win as the loser gets guaranteed reinforcements. I assume this was done to appease Warzone players with the Gulag, but the gulag requires a solo win to redeploy. It wasn't a guarantee. I understand that a solo challenge isn't the nature of a team game like battlefield. It needs to be less of a gimme, but also not a completely solo endeavor.
Suggestions:  Make it so the whole squad has to get creamed before the free redeploy triggers, so the remaining members can make the choice to either go down blazing and redeploy with their squad or skirt out and redeploy with a world beacon.

Engineer Orange Box: Engineers being given SMGs in a mid-long range game mode, where everyone else can also carry rockets, seems kind of like a nerf. This is coming from an assault player.
Suggestion: At least give them the option to find and upgrade Carbines from their orange boxes.

Drones: They are OP in redsec for scouting and initiation, and need a slight nerf. They make Recon a required class in redsec.
Suggestion: Lower the battery duration of the drones. If you want a birds eye view, you shouldn't also be able to maneuver a long distance to bomb someone.

Sound: The sound is spotty and needs to be looked at.
Suggestion: Fix the sound. Sometimes footsteps can be heard 20+ yards away, and others someone could be sprinting up behind you and you can't hear them coming.
