Quick Question

I don't use troops & ground combat much (I prefer to glass the planet), How do you land (drop) the troops ?. I have 2 large transports orbiting a planet and can't get the troops on the surface to start the ground combat sequence. What did I forget ?

There's a "drop troops" command- try that

Do the transports have to be "Troop Transports" to get the Drop Troops order to engage ?

No.

If you're running in Strategic combat, they MUST have their primary orders set to "drop troops" though.

How do you set the primary orders for an individual "ship"? I know how to set the orders for a fleet, but not for the individual ships in that fleet. Thanks for your assistance.
