I still maintain that troops should be treated more like ships than fighters. The quantities of troops that can be easily landed on a planet brings my system to its knees, often causing the game to freeze, and is rarely necessary anyhow. I say make them cost ~3 times as much and weigh ~10 times as much. Giving weapon platforms the ability to hit ground troops at ranges and damages far exceeding them would also make things a lot more interesting.
