[Suggestion] Dropships

Note: I have been notified this has been said before.

Hi, I'm Knaroef,
I love planetary annihilation (well, except for the nukes the AI uses on me , back to the topic),
and I really like bots. But they are (almost) completely useless on water planets, unless you would somehow be able to transport them over water/through air. That's where dropships come in: they are ships, planes and maybe orbital units, that can carry up to 3 (or any number that will not be OP or UP) bots (both combat and builder). You could use these to pick up an army, and drop it right on your unsuspecting enemy.

You would be able to make these in air factories for the plane-dropships and in naval factories for the boat/sub-dropships. For something like the price of a DOX(more or less...). They should not have weapons, though maybe the advanced ones should, I'm not sure if that would be a good idea.

This would greatly increase the amount of tactics you could use on your enemy, as you can suddenly fill their base with DOXes or encircle them in an instant.

TL;DR: bot moving planes/boats

PS: If I made any mistakes, please tell me, I'm always open to critism, or more thing I could add to the idea.

Its been talked about a lot. Please do a search before posting something like this.

There will be air transports and there will be unit cannons. We just have to wait for them to come out.

Do a search before posting.

This has been talked about a lot.

These units are even in the game files.

I did search before I posted this, I was kinda surprised when I didn't find anything...

Edit: I misread his post. I read "gunship" not "dropship." Either way, transports have been talked about and will be in the game.

I think you misread his post. Dropships not gunships. However it doesn't change much.

i think iff he new some posts already with this subject,he havent make this one.
Not all have time to real all.

I will agree with the first statement, but not the second one. After searching for the word dropship and seen all the results, you can assume that its been talked about extensively without reading everything.

i'm not voting because it's not up for debate they will be in.

I seriously didn't see any of them... I might be looking in the wrong place... Oh yea, now I see, GUNships, not dropships. I'm blind... sorry guys, I thought I had such a good idea
Also, Damn you autocorrect!​

As was stated, they are not currently playable yet.

They're in the game files, but not playable.

Not what I meant... I meant the searchy thingy... All I could see were posts about completely different subjects when I searched for dropships... But thanks for pointing this out

Gunships were fun in ta! We def need them more strategy. Maybe make them an advanced air unit only

and death to the jester? shame. I dissagree with this.

Well I just want a gunship in the game lol we have not heard much on what the missing units will be...

Ship dropships would be awesome. It would make life so much easier for ships that are otherwise stuck in the lake they were created in.

This has been mentioned and would be pretty cool. Dunno if it'll be implemented.

Would be cool. I stopped playing pa currently. I feel it's missing to many units to have really strategic gameplay.
