Is this a bug or a feature?

You don't seem to be able to airdrop within a couple of squares of a city that has any air interceptors stationed at it. Fair enough, but you can't do it even if they're your own fighters.

I'd kind of like it if, after I've taken that first city on an enemy continent, I could airdrop troops into that city to defend it. How come I can't tell my fighters to hold their fire for a turn?

Thanks,

p. 91 of the manual describes the restriction for dropping near bases with interceptors, but I agree that it's pretty goofy to disallow drops near your *own* bases.
