Default Re: Quick Question

You might want to create your own custom strategy so you can be sure the troop transport is going to get to the planet. Something which emphasises taking out seekers, which have dusted dozens of my transports before I even get started on the ground combat part.

Run it in the simulator until it works right. And, always plan for more than you think might be kicking around. You don't want to pack your transports with troops if that class is going to have a high fatality rate, but you should have enough to make a dent on the ground forces you encounter.

Using the Intel pproject 'Covert Recon' will tell you what is on a planet (cargo, i.e. weapons platforms and troops) before you attack, but things can change between the time of the report and the time of action.
