Star Trek Mod - Please need some help

[Jestak]

Greetings,

Just to let you know I finally was able to capture planets with the Star Trek mod...hehehehe

It took me a while to get it right and a few thousands troops.

Just one stupid question: In tactical, is it possible to drop all your troops at the same time and not just choosing the ship, then give the drop troop order and see you poor 400 troops getting slaughtered by 850 militia while you are 2000 troops waiting in 20 transports in orbit?

It is like living again D-day and sending Tom Hanks to the beaches....hehehehe

Thank you

I am afraid not. Its first come first selected first dropped. So the larger the transport, the more troops you have. Also the size of your troops plays a part. Infantry is weaker and much less likely to capture a planet, but you can build a lot of them really cheap so they are often the best cost effective solution. However the larger Troops are the better for going after planets.

You could make ground combat last only 1 or 2 rounds. This way, there is a good chance that multiple transports can be used without entire loads being slaughtered and the militia automagically being regenerated from nothing within the same game day...

Make militia have a lot more hit points too. These changes will allow the defender to drop reinforcement troops as well, as it will likely take several game turns to finish conquering the planet. No longer does ground combat have to resolve in a single round...
