God I want to do this. Just own the natives and murder everyone, you know the usual colonialist thing.

PRESS THE ANIMALS INTO SLAVERY THEN! I don't really care what is oppressed just so long as there is oppression and it isn't against me.

Something has occurred to me. Are your dropships based on the movie Starship Troopers? They look similar, with the boxes hanging underneath.

Surprisingly not, my containers are just square boxes because that's what made sense to me for a huge interstellar company to use to move everything between the stars. Nothing awkwardly shaped like a (3D?) hexagon or a sphere, just nice clean, stackable boxes. However, I do love the book Starship Troopers and plan to add cap-troops to my army before too long. Also, I might eventually build the Rodger Young...

I don't think the Starship Troopers dropships actually carry separate boxes (although I guess they might). They just look the same, with a very blocky troop compartment on the bottom and a more ship-like thing kinda wrapped around the top.

You're right, maybe it did influence me on some level...

Well it's a common way of transporting stuff in sci-fi , Freespace has similar ships, so do Wing Commander if I recall correctly and a few others.

I have the upper hand in everything, because all the specs and things for my stuff is hidden.
