Inspired by iamlemb´s bug report and some observations I did myself:Steve, would it be possible to reduce the loading time for marine companies - a lot!Without any cargo handling systems, it takes them 9+ DAYS to mount their dropship and even with a single, improved cargo handling system (rating 10) it still takes them a full day. I don´t have a problem with a day or so for loading an armored batallion but a company of marines?My BB/BC/CV all have at least a company of marines and a dropship aboard so I can board a crippled hostile. The rather ridiculous loading times simply won´t let me (yeah, I still could, but I usually run out of patience and blow the offender away instead)Edit: How about introducing a modifyer for the various types of troops?Heavy Armor: Twice loading time (lots of heavy equipement)Assault Infantry: 1.5 x loading time (still a lot of heavy stuff, just not as much as the heavy armor)Mobile Infantry: As isGarrison: Half loading time (very little heavy stuff, mostely foot sloggers)Marines: 1/10th loading time (Optimized to be mobile, used to form a beachhead fast in - fast out)
To give ruins a bit more spice, have a low percentage of recovered installations release a battalion sized group of 'droid soldiers, their strength could even vary with the tech level of the ruins. If you have coded them for the precurors in 5.20 then this should be easy!
