You are given control of advanced weaponry and transport which must be used correctly if you are to succeed. Dropping soldiers and vital supplies from space ships while on the move and possibly under fire is a hard skill that you master with practice.

Choose where you want to unload your soldiers or equipment and position your cargo spacecraft -- known as a dropship -- over the area where you want to drop your armed fighters or supplies. By dropping soldiers on the move you gain a crucial advantage over your enemy as your fighters are more spread out and less vulnerable to attack as they are not in one large group.

Tips & Warnings
Once the cargo drop commences, it can not be stopped, so make sure you have enough time to unload safety, or your spacecraft is out of range of enemy fire.
