The drop ships can be attacked, but, like giant monsters, not by a lone hero. There are numerous videos on YouTube that show groups of heroes taking out dropships.

Arc #271637 - Welcome to M.A.G.I. - An alternative first story arc for magic origin heroes. At Hero Registration you heard the jokes about Azuria always losing things. When she loses the entire M.A.G.I. vault, you are chosen to find it.
There was a player event on Champion during the last invasion weekend. About 100 players got together and took down 18 drop ships. Turns out they have rewards now.
And the music video.

Here's one of the first, from Issue 10 Open Beta. A bunch calling themselves the Steel 70 took out a bunch of Dropships, and demonstrate why the devs added slow immunity to the ships. I recall right after they did that the Dropships zoomed about at above-Superspeed velocity; I think they should have kept them that way. It was intimidating to have something like that roar down on you that fast.

Been on a few teams on Liberty myself. Great fun.
Though, to be honest, I did like the OP's idea of targeting turrets & engines, etc.
My "Dropship Down" video can be found on my Videos page, since YouTube pulled it down.

Gee I feel out of the loop.. I have never seen anyone try before, but it does give me something to look forward to.. Thanks for letting me know.
One of the things I wish we could do is attacking the alien dropships. Many of us have heroes and villains who can fly but air to air combat is almost non-existant in the game. When I see the invasion ships coming in, I wish we could attack them..(I have tried, and you die). If they had gun turrets, and target points for shields and engines. I think it would be great fun and wonderfully satisfying to be able to attack and take down some of the ships. Watching it crash and burn would be great. It would be a very fun addition to the invasion in my opinion.
