What's the use of defensive troops under any circumstances, then?
Yes, this is a problem in my mind. Troops never get to fight troops because defending troops are always destroyed from space. I wish MM would either store troops differently from other cargo or at least allow an option to change their status from 'cargo' to something else' -- call it 'dug in' or 'dispersed' or something like that. When in this special state they should not be damaged like cargo but like population. As a 'balancing' factor I guess they should not be easily removable from the planet when in this state. Maybe you need a turn to move them from 'dug in' back to cargo so they can be loaded up for transport.
