Drop troops on planet

[dogscoff]

Id like to have weapons platforms that can house troops or space stations / battle stations etc in planetary orbit that can house troops and in the case of an invasion can fly those trooops down to planet to help raise the planet side troop defensive numbers.

Some ideas to throw around. OR planet bound mines that can wipe out some troops in the case of a invasion.

Good ideas, all of them, but sadly unmoddable. you could email Malfador and ask these things to be included in the final patch but to be honest I wouldn't hold your breath.

EDIT: For an implementation to your planetary mines, I'd like to see an ability for facilities and/or weapons platforms that boosts (or could be modded to reduce) planetary troop defence. Maybe even a system-wide Version of the same. This would give modders another interesting toy to play with, and allow "fortress" facilities/ platforms.

One other thing about dropping troops that irritates me is that if you have multiple troop transports in strategic combat, the first one will drop troops, but then all the others will hang about and wait for the invasion to fail or the combat to end before offloading. This really is annoying...
