That's fine on Planetfall, I just wanted a real reason out of you, Honda.
On the costs:
If the Drop Company is now 200 then +150 for Valks is 350. I will tell you that STs are still better than them so the same cost is the highest tolerable since they deal with BMs a little better and are Core, not Support.
The HQ should prolly be 425-450 with Valks, I don't know why I wrote 500, the non mounted Company will get some Vets if the HQ costs less.

Well fluf says that Elysians use Grav-Shutes while jumping from high altitude Valkyries.
But then what will these Valkyries do? Just fly back to base and remain there useless?
Perhabs Teleport should be bought as an Upgrade? So either low-flying Valkyries as in-game transports or high-flying (but otherwise useless) Valkyries for Teleport.
Cost for both options could be different.

In IA3 - Taros, because of the distance to the target, the Valks could only loiter for a short time, then they had to return to base. Assuming that not all missions are poorly planned, then the Valks hang around and provide support fire...as they currently are capable of doing.
Perhabs Teleport should be bought as an Upgrade? So either low-flying Valkyries as in-game transports or high-flying (but otherwise useless) Valkyries for Teleport.

It will help once I get the contents of the list posted, but basically, you can take the drop troop companies as either:
i. An 8 unit formation with Valks
ii. An 8 unit formation that teleports
iii. An 8+ unit formation that teleports (i.e. adding on other units like Hvets)
The key here, was to eliminate the 5+ Valk formations because they were overpowering.
All will be revealed soon...
