Troopie combat nearly always has you prevailing w a +1 advantage. Most times you are left w a single troopie you need to do something with. Attacking w even size combatants, Ieaves one defender remaining on planet. If you launch a 2nd attack 1 vs 1, there will be no leftovers. Notice if you attack with other than +1 on first attack, the 1 vs 1 part will NOT always suceed the first time and requires a 2nd 1 vs 1 to clear the conflict without leftovers.
Instead of having to fly a troopie somewhere, it would be nicer if the leftover metamorphs into a fighter as part of the star's standing defensive fleet. Prevailing troopies of any number would logically become a part of the standing fleet. An interesting notion would be an alternate to boosted fighters. Upgrade instead to marine cadre from a standard fighter. Thus one could place fighters n troopies with a single flight at standard flight time.
