Troop combat in simultaneous suffers from the fact that troop transports drop all troops.

Apologies if this has been said before in the thread.. but IMHO troop combat suffers FAR more from the problem that you can't drop troops from 2+ transports simultaneously. This makes it very difficult to capture large homeworlds intact, you have to beat them down first by bombing them. I should be able to drop 600 troops from 4 small transports and have that resolved as one round of planetary combat.
