Loading Troops

Post by dawilko »

Guys can anyone give me some tips on loading troops into fleets. There dosen't seem to be an option for load tropps when a fleet is selected, leading to having to individually select troop transports and tell them to load at nearest colony. Then they shoot off to another random colony even if the colony they are right next to has plenty of troops to start with.

If any of the devs see this what would be great would be a load tropps fleet context if the fleet contains troop ships. And to have those troop ships load from their local area first before shooting off into the stars.

Many thanks!

Ok I have devised a strategy to make this somewhat painless.

Build your troop ships and individually kick them off to load tropps.
Wait 5
Then from the ships screen open ups military ships and scrool down to troop transports, check to see which ones are loaded. Once you have enough add them to a new fleet and send them to your staging area.
