Bah, we find it easier to just dop a Cap ship down to the surface ;)

How do you get them back off the planet and you cant realy drop a capsule into another space ship to transfer them without smashing the other ship?

If Buri decides to begin a space program in the future, we will definitly consider dealing with you, but at the current time our own continent holds so much to explore and discover, that we havent even began with Space yet.

No, i said We Drop a CAPITAL SHIP onto the planet, like a carrier with 10,000 troops. its a lot safer than trying to land 1000 drop ships... but we have small dropships and shuttles for boarding sahips and small landing parties.

Like this one (Ignore the text, old pic):

Vertical thrusters and Anti-Gravity repulsorlifts and graviton generators and all that synergize to allow this whole ship to land and take off and move freely around a planet. it can even float on water.

Oh okay well still a cap ship would be an easy target for planetery cannons whilst drop ships are small quick and pretty well stealthed

Tersanctus, We will modify the current design instead of removing it from the future market and dont forget the specs of the ships will most likley be different aswell.

The new design is smaller, sleeker and has two levels or storage compartment the upper level could also be used to stock supplies and beds for a long journey it will have a bigger payload and still be as good as ever
