capturing planets question

[Erax]

It would be better if you could drop just enough troops to conquer the moon, then drop the rest on the planet. But no, 'drop troops' is an all-or-nothing affair. Using 'Void Jumping Troops' (pat. pending, hehe) partially corrects this imbalance. I say partially because it only works in Tactical and even then only part of the time, because the planets often won't be adjacent.
