Is it worth teraforming Mars? How much teraformers will it need?
9) Should I keep an Eye on wealth?
5) Historically: Short-barreled cannon.
I myself stopped using conventional transport bays, and only use (cryo-)drop modules. There is no difference except that deployment is faster, so why should the other one ever be used? My favourite design is a large 106 battalion troop carrier for invasions and ruin recovery deployment. 106 is exactly 85 for a construction division (construction crew is 5x size of normal battalions) + 21 for one guarding division. However, you can also use it as 5x21=105 to deploy 5 divisions in war zones.
What was your question 10) ?
11) Do you have 2 types of transports, one for peacefull transport of groud units, other for combat drops under enemy fire? Or 1 huge universal units transporter? Or even 3rd option, hangar ship and FACs with drop modules?I myself stopped using conventional transport bays, and only use (cryo-)drop modules.
