I've been going overthis in my mind, lately and can't come up with a decent answer. What are the tacticle and stratgic advantages to planetfall ccapabilities? Sure it provides your forces with a powerful and mobile base, but that base" was not designed to serve as such, it was designed for space combat and as such will not be as effective. In addition, th sip will take longe t lift off and escapethe gravty well if things go pear-shaped, and there are limits on how long the ship can remain of the ground before thier landing gear gives out on them.
So what are the advantages/disadvantages to planetfall capabilities aside rom those I said?

Unless you design it as such, also makes Defense of Instilations easier as in orbit one can only defend some much before someone sneaks past you and rains hellfire on whatever your defending

Its a lot easier to load up and refit your ship if it can make planetfall, IMHO. People just work better in gravity.
