I just played a game and it was letting me build continuous troop transports on my home planet. I think I had close to a dozen built when I stopped. In customization I did not chose anything to do with troop numbers and had neg 10% ground combat. I did however chose bonus to beam attack and defense which I normally do not do.


Were transport numbers increased or is there a bug that the beam attack and defense attributes accidentally give a bonus to troop transport numbers?

You need to publish how marines are generated. Something is not making sense.

Colonized a new planet. Built a barracks on the third turn of the colony. On the first turn after I built a barracks on the 1 population planet I was able to build a troop transport.

On a size 14 colony I built a barracks, then I built an space academy (whatever it is that makes troops better) and 5 turns later I still could not build a troop transport.

On a different size 14 colony I built a marine barracks and 5 turns later I still could not build a troop transport.


Drugs are bad!

Yes, I had a system full of 4 planets with Barracks, Start-bases and Academies and still couldn't build a single damn troupe transport.
