Re: Planetary invasion ramblings (longish)

I was under the impression that it was S.O.P. to keep system defense
ships in orbit at strategically significant areas.  Not FTL capable,
little more than gunboats... but enough to deter all but the most
powerful attack fleets from making a landing.  If kept in reserve
until the last moment, they could easily strike out at enemy troop
carriers and make a mess of the under-armed troop transports...
