Not sure if it's because I'm playing on a planet with no tactical operation energy costs, but all the AI does atm is bombard you every turn with reinforcement units. The enemies I've been engaged with are mainly Kir'ko, and it is abyssian after abyssian after abyssian every combat round. Their encase ability is generally affecting a high tier unit / hero every turn which leaves them open for punishment for 2 rounds unless you do something about it, and being able to drop a unit wherever you want with an ability that strong for 3 tac points makes it a no brainer for them to do it. But if it's not them it's Vanguard dropping Valkyries for a stagger, damage, and then melee overwatch. It's not just the initial stagger and damage that you get from a damaging tac op which is painful enough to your support units, but then there's another unit that's posing a threat that you now have to focus on taking out as well as melee overwatch, or being encased etc. All of that for 3 TAC OP points... it takes away from the overall combat strategy when you can cheese it by calling in for reinforcements round after round wherever you want on the combat map.
I'd suggest to implement something along the lines of increasing the amount of TAC OP points it costs, or giving it a cool down, or making it so where they land isn't precise as it's an orbital drop, so instead of a 1 hex spot, a several hex area. Just ideas. Something to change it from working as is cause it's pretty annoying and I'm not really enjoying having to fight the opposing army as well as an extra 5/6 reinforcement units being dropped in behind my line every combat.
