Can drop pods contest on their own(if in range and no other unit (own)around)

Yes, they are a unit therefore can contest barring any contrary rules - which they don't have.

Nice 1 ,drop pods just went up a notch imo

Well, they contest even if there is 9001 enemies nearby too. That's the whole point of Contesting. What they cannot do is Capture objectives.

Thats a little bit condescending considering the question(sorry bored)

No it is not, I was just pointing it out because your original question of "Can drop pods contest on their own(if in range and no other unit (own)around) " At first glance suggests you might think they can't contests of other units are there.

Am i the only one not understanding you,you implied i didn't know that only troops can capture and what contesting means(sorry really slow day)

No, I was stating that your post was implying that you didn't know. I was not implying anything.

The question is about contesting which in itself implies i know they can't capture,the own unit part is in context of the unit coming out of pod which would contest anyway and why i said no own unit around,your only trying to help and i am busting your balls,i apologize slow day at work
