I agree, it's the most interesting time. :)

I do like the idea of the choice to switch off/on the shields of a
specific detachment : switching on would give a save but will be risky
as the detachment could be automatically destroyed by laser weapons.

I don't agree, there is not specifically designed weapons to beat
shields but specifically close combat techniques to penetrate shields.
Every soldier of the Imperium is trained to beat shields so I don't
think an upgrade is needed.

I agree.

I don't agree as many Houses has their own Bene Gesserit adviser

Yes.

I do agree.

But they're not used as troop transports.

Not ornithopters can carry a harvester...Standard ornithopters can carry
about 1 or 2 stands, some can be equipped with heavy weapons, etc... Oh,
and watch out the sand storms!
