When invading enemy planets, how vital are drop modules in the absence of enemy PDCs? Could hostile troops do anything harmful in the four hours it'd take my standard troop transports to unload my battalions?
Not vital at all, unless you feel otherwise. Hostile troops? No. Hostile ships & PDCs, yes.
Although you may feel that hostile troops "ignoring" your troops for the four hours it takes you to unload is unrealistic, or an exploit. Fair enough. Others may feel they've carefully chosen planetary landing zones to be unreachable by enemy troops in the time available.
