Drop troops on planet

[Vasiliy]

Hi

Can I drop troop on planet from 2 or more ships simultaneously?

Thanks
Vasiliy

No, each time a ship drops ground combat will begin.

If you are looking to invade a Proportions Homeworld you will need more troops on bigger ships.

In Proportions and some other mods, at least ground combat probably won't wipe out all the attackers of a strong "beachhead force" before the later transports can drop troops.

In unmodded, one round of ground combat usually wipes out one side or the other, but the attacker can usually fit more troops on one transport than the defender will have room for on their planet , if they even have any serious ground defense, which tends to be rare in unmodded.

Mostly because people either accept the take-over as a risk they have to take, or haven't adjusted to the damage to cargo changes in later patches (before bombardment would almost always kill the troops; now it doesn't)

if their in a fleet then yes

If you play mods like P&N and Adamant, ground combat Lasts for 1 or 2 rounds, so beachhead forces rarely get slaughtered in the first combat unless they are really small.
