My transports won't load!

[IndyShark]

I am having problems in a scenario where I am trying to load up some transports to resupply Lunga and after I order them to load supplies, they unload them. I can't seem to get these transports to load supplies.

Can any of you suggest something I am doing wrong? Thanks

What works for me is to put the transport TF on "patrol" until nearly fully loaded, then assign a destination and change to "retirement allowed."

I will now proceed to entangle the entire area

Hey IndyShark, are you the same IndyShark who plays SFC2 and posts on the SFC2 forums?

I've had this happen, but when it did I think it was because I forgot to assign a destination. So the after the ships were loaded it found it was at it's destination, so it began to unload.

Right, Gabby, but you have to be sure to assign the destination before you give the load order, or you have the same problem if your TF is on "retirement allowed" orders.

I don't know if this was addressed in the patches because I have used the technique I mentioned in my earlier post because I picked it up from an early thread, and "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," I always say. If there is a better way to handle this, I wish someone would please enlighten me (and us).

No doubt those guys will have this thing sorted out soon

All you need to do is load the supplies, and be sure to pick your destination before ending the orders phase. Fast transports load in one turn, so if you don't pick the destination before ending your turn, they will load, and then start unloading. All transports that take several turns to load can be assigned a destination any time before they finish loading. But it is easiest to do it after you give the load orders.

Right. I have never had any problem with doing it this way. Assign a destination when you give the order to load 'em up - even if you don't know for sure where you want to send them yet (o.k. with fast transports you gotta know somewhere to send them or else they unload right away).
