DS/SG Landings

Why would you bother with a dangerous 
orbital drop when you
can send in air/space transports if it is 
going to be
unoppposed?

[Tomb] Good question. 
1. Is an unopposed landing dangerous? 
(Answer: Probably not all that dangerous). 
No significant ADE assets to suppress, and
few unsuppressed ones to dodge, hence 
landing at your choice of location should be 
quite straightforward. 
2. Sometimes you use what you got in 
system. 
3. I still think dropcaps will be faster time-
to-ground than a lander. Let's say you want 
to insert your force on top of an enemy 
outpost to hit them before they can really 
figure out what is happening. That's one 
case.
