    Whilst the central unit idea is decent I do feel that the unit itself will be very out of place given how it will be the only unit with an ability of sorts. Given how Planetary annihilation is completely stressing macro over micro this would create a sizable anomaly with this unit, which I am not even sure the current game can run. Obviously if the ability was merely passive, the unit itself would travel in a straight line to it's destination engaging it's jetpack whenever it encountered impassable terrain. This would, gameplay wise, make it little different to amphibious vehicles.

    the last few pages give examples of how we could eliminate micro from this unit.:)

    I still think it's a terrible idea to have such a useless unit that costs three times as much as the already limited dox while being just as effective but simply with the ability to fly.

    That sounds like terrible unit that would make for terrible gameplay.
