Which do you you prefer, troop transports or ferry shuttles, and why?

Ferry Shuttle cos bombers can't hit your infantary like theres no tommorow

Ferry shuttles have no weaponry though. Troop transports do and can be used as an anti-infantry unit. (Personally I use whichever is best suited to the situation. Ferry shuttles for relatively safe drop areas and troop transports for the higher-action areas.) I try to take out artillery pieces before I release the troops so bombing isn't a problem.
(hey...nothing wrong with a little strategy discussion. Thanks for responding.)

I think ferry shuttles but it depends on the situation.

The ferry is expensive, takes micromanagement, and is fragile against anti-air. The troop transport is cheap, crushes infantry, and has a weak anti-vehicular gun. Against the Rebels, especially, the troop transport is the better buy.

But does anyone actually play Force Commander anymore?
