Description
The Terran Dropship, as its name suggests, functions as the Terran transport craft that ferries troops via airlift around the battlefield. Good use of the Dropship allows a player to quickly transport ground troops to the site of the battle, into the heart of the enemy supply lines, or even into a normally unreachable expansion point so that the player can secure it. The Dropship is unarmed, and the player has to take care to control the Dropship with skill or risk losing it and any cargo it might be carrying.
In Starcraft 2, it has been observed that Dropships have to land to unload its occupants, which adds a degree of realism to the game. It is yet unknown whether this is just a cosmetic effect, or that the Dropship will be vulnerable to ground-targeting weapons while unloading troops. It also seems that some units can be released in groups, while others must be released one at a time from the Dropship
