Is this rule on the bigger spaceships really necessary? |

Space Marines being able to drop 8 Tactical Formations (with 250pts for character/dreadnought upgrades) into the enemies deployment zone before they've activated, could be seen as problematic.

I've always felt the turn 3 thing makes them pretty much unusable, turn 2 would surely be enough of a disadvantage? |

I agree. No one ever uses a spaceship with slow&purposeful. |

I would be strongly in favor of a T2 arrival as well. From a SM perspective, you have a better idea of where formations might be and can plot accordingly. In T3, you can plot around objectives and then run with your strategy, though that can be a tough one to pull off. A T2 arrival would be compounded by not knowing exactly where things are going to be, but be able to drop enough stuff on the objectives to withstand the counter-punch...or at least that is what I'm thinking. I really need to try this one out, but do see a T2 arrival at least making the BB more attractive a choice. |

I have often found a T2 arrival to be the most optimal - T1, the opponent has time to recover or counter-attack; T3 the opponent can predict where the drop is likely to be, plan accordingly (which is why a T3 drop can be very tough to win) |
