Marine Buggy

[EmperorJay]

I have the same bug about the ships in cities...
and I am sure I play SMAX 2.0 (german version). when that happens, i always move the ship out of the city, so iI don't have to attack it...

and btw: why is capturing troops along with a transport a bug? sounds quite reasonable to me

Because, you can control ships with a new crew. Unless marine detatchments have probe team brainswashers in attendance, why the hell would the troops on board not even put up a fight, let alone convert to the enemy?

Explain "reasonable" please...

[Major Guz]

Well, the troops were asleep in their bunks when the marine detachment entered the transport.
They were given the choice: Fight with us or die.
Their choice seems reasonable.

hm, I have a slightly different view of troops: as they don't cost any population, they mainly consist of the material and weaponry. so when you capture a transport, you get all its load with it, and the crew isn't the main problem(shoot half of them and bribe the rest )
