Troop Question

EDIT: also, use one big transport. The local militia regenerate after each defeat..so if your transport can't win the first battle, another identical transport won't either.

Sheesh, that's easier said that done. This is in Proportions. The enemy planet has about 10,000 infantry and maybe 20 small troops. My Blackhawk class medium-transport hull troopships carry 500 infantry and 50 small troops each. I have over 25 of them full of troops. I get a separate ground combat screen whenever one of them drops troops. They get slaughtered and only manage to bring down
down the enemy infantry count to 8,000 or so.

Oh yeah, I also have maybe 20 or so PD-only light cruisers and destroyers to suppress fire the massive barrages of missiles the planet's WPs shoot. I mean, in tactical, it takes over a minute for the planet to finish firing its missiles.
