I suppose you could just consider it a skimmer that can't pop-up, which would
solve most of those questions.
To solve questions:
Overlords cannot be engaged in CC except by troops with Jumppacks and skimmers
and of course other overloards. Or alternativly cannot be engaged in CC at all.
Firefight normally/destroy retreating units.
Interact with objectives normally.
Flak can fire at overlords.
I suppose it is to many special rules. Although you could use the same rules for a
silver tower and be much more accurate. Have to reduce it's points a little though.
