I wouldn't say never. I would advice that after the first few turns, it's generally wise to keep a substantial force on all of your shuttles to prevent anyone taking them too easily.
However there are some situations when it is worth it to move your forces from the shuttles. Like if you need the troops to eliminate an opponent or make a stab at the objective. You just have to weigh the risks against the benefits, like with any move.
Damn, someone should write a strategy guide for this
well, yeah, there are some situations where you might need to reinforce off the shuttles, but as a general rule, I usually don't.
Reason being, if you're not the first one to the missile bases, and they have tons of troops, they will more than likely go after the shuttles that have only 1 troop on them, and will leave the 11 troop shuttles alone (unless they've got 50 or so more troops). Then, your shuttles don't get stolen, and you can conquer the missile base from the other player (who almost always leaves only 1 troop on the base), and then steal all the low troop shuttles.
