For an assault landing are dropships the way to go? Heinlein's mobile infantry dropped in reentry pods along with plenty of ECM and false targets. Then for each hit instead of losing a whole dropship, only a single trooper is lost. On the other hand, depending on technology, the dropship might be a much tougher target with improved stealth, armor and force screens. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
