Each firing of the Drop Pods superweapon picks a squad size at random from this value to DropPodInfantryMaximum, both included. The key affects only the superweapon’s elite E1/E2 squad, not Droppod=yes TeamTypes.

The squad that lands can be smaller than the size picked. The superweapon allows three placement attempts per soldier, pooled across the squad, and discards a soldier whose attempt fails. Drop Pods superweapon explains when an attempt fails. A size of 0 drops nothing.

Keep both values at 0 or above. If the size picked comes out negative, the superweapon never finishes placing its squad and the game stops responding.
