Title: It takes... how much room to transport an engineering brigade?
Post by: Redshirt on June 21, 2012, 05:26:10 PM

Having some difficulties trying to exploit some ruins. Can't put one brigade in five transports- can't split brigades. Designed a mega-transport that holds 5 battalions; since Engineering Brigades are size 25 and battalions are size 5, I thought it would work.

Nope. "Cannot pick up ground unit as the fleet has insufficient space." Do I seriously 25 troop transport bays to transport a single engineering brigade? That's nearly 64k tons before even adding engines. Or am I missing something?

Five bays is fine, as long as they are all on the same ship.

Try splitting that five-bay transport out into a seperate fleet, then loading the Engineer. If that doesn't work, try quitting to desktop and reloading before attempting to load the Engineer.

If you created the five-bay transport by using SM-mode to modify an existing ship, you will need to open the "Ships" window and click on that ship to refresh the data, before any changes actually take effect.
