    My problem with transports is the are horrible to micro and a pain in the ***. We already have the unit cannon how is this really any different? It's just a bit too similar in functionality.
    How about a carrier that drops in long range siege weapons that are immobile normally without the aid of a carrier. They could have a cool setup annimation, have a nice bassy thud when they fire. They could look and fire sorta like the battleship guns. Great on land for seiging bases.

    The orbital transport is exactly what that is.

    Good point. I was thinking of something more like the Pheonix in its interplanetary abilities but i see that it would be largely redundant with the Astreus

    it is vastly different in the unitcannon being very expensive and having to rebuild its units .. and without any transport units are stuck on their destination
    transports would be cheaper and could transport vanguards and shellers f.e. as well .. so you could prepare a larger invasionfleet quicker than building up numbers of unitcannons ..
