While land warfare may not be the most important mechanic, I feel it became a lot more relevant in 2.2, where you would like to capture a planet, without to much damage, simply to ship all it's pops to your ecumenopolis's. (-li.. -us.. -es... nevermind) It is very sci fi.
However, where normal empires gets a lot of different late game armies, and evolution paths gets xenomorph armies and gene seed warriors and the psionics gets the psionics armies and avatar, the Synthetic Evolution path is stuck with robotic assault army (droid tech) and if they don't want to (or can't) use organic armies, or doesn't get the titanic beast event, this is all they have.
I propose that when you complete the special project to become synthetics you get access to the Machine Intelligences army tech as well, Battle Frame Army and Mega-Warforms. Being stuck with Robotic Assault Armies is just plain misery when you try to capture Fallen Empire worlds or your late game neighbors.
