Did I do this mission the wrong way? It seemed pretty easy: wipe out the enemy defenders before they can hit my troop carriers. I did that, it wasn't hard.
Then came the tricky part: the mission didn't end after the way was clear. I had to spend two hundred and fifty turns herding cats, I mean troop carriers, into the drop point. I couldn't just sit in the drop point, because apparently they think it's awkward to get too close to me and so swerve to miss me. Also, if they "miss" and I have to circle around so that by flying towards me they'll accidentally hit the drop zone, they often overcorrect their course so they aren't flying straight at me (and therefore the drop zone) anymore.
Ugh. That mission was so frustrating. Please, just let it end in success once the enemies are all dead.
How long do they need to take the planet over for you, by the way? I landed all ten ships on a planet with only a million guys (they're Acutians though), and can't see any indication that it's "working".
