Things we'd like to see in the next patch

[Atrocities]

I would also like to see the ability “Drop Troops” programmed so that it can work with fighters. Actually it is for a strain of fighters that I call small craft. You can think of them as pre-fighter fighters, just think of the shuttles used in Star Wars or Star Trek that ferried men and equipment.

Try this:

Name := Large Fighter Transport
Short Name := Smart Craft
Description := Fighter that can carry troops
Code := FL
Primary Bitmap Name := FighterLarge
Alternate Bitmap Name := FighterLarge
Vehicle Type := Fighter
Tonnage := 95
Cost Minerals := 300
Cost Organics := 0
Cost Radioactives := 0
Engines Per Move := 1
Number of Tech Req := 1
Tech Area Req 1 := Fighters
Tech Level Req 1 := 3
Number of Abilities := 2
Ability 1 Type := Combat To Hit Offense Plus
Ability 1 Descr := Maneuverability increases chance to hit enemy targets in combat by 50%.
Ability 1 Val 1 := 50
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0
Ability 2 Type := Combat To Hit Defense Plus
Ability 2 Descr := Small size makes ship 60% harder to hit in combat.
Ability 2 Val 1 := 60
Ability 2 Val 2 := 0
Requirement Must Have Bridge := True
Requirement Can Have Aux Con := False
Requirement Min Life Support := 1
Requirement Min Crew Quarters := 0
Requirement Uses Engines := True
Requirement Max Engines := 9
Requirement Pct Fighter Bays := 0
Requirement Pct Colony Mods := 0
Requirement Pct Cargo := 25
