SG/DS insertions

I doubt that. To give all your infantry the kind of
pilot training equivelant to a single-engine license
(no matter how high-tech, basic aerodynamics are not
getting any less complex) would jack their price tag higher than it would be
worth.

[Tomb] Why assume this isn't preplotted? Why assume this isn't entirely
done under computer control with the guy encased in anti-G shock-gel to
let the pod manouver at some nasty G levels for self defense if required? You
assume the guy has to fly the thing.... Even a grav chute can probably be
programmed. Heck, nowadays a cheap model helo with a GPS can make very precise
landings, as can artillery rounds. Don't see why this has to be problematic
for a man sized drop cap in 2183.

And your assault marines probably ARE an elite force. The traveller
model makes sense here - you'd deploy them in PA for maximum impact.

PA is expensive, just give them a load of lead (instead of a functional grav
chute) if you want "maximum impact"....
