Better UI and orbital transports!

This PTE is great, the game feels sooooooo much better to play.

I've noticed a few new and cool UI stuffs, but orbital transports? Does the astraeus work better now or something?

What do you mean orbital transports? The aestrius or something new?

Yeah the astrai thing, with two clicks I loaded one and had it unload on another planet, the unit followed them completely with no bugs or stops.

It was amazing, so seamless and easy.

A new era of invasions will behold.

Yep, so much easier, they are great now.

NEW TRANSPORTS, BEST TRANSPORTS!

they still don't transport bombers.

Why should they?

cuz then what the hell am i gonna use them for when I have gate?

Those don't move bombers either? :S

yeah that was my point.

We need dropships like in Ground Control

Dunno if anyone would be interested or not but I created a mod - for fun mind - for myself and my wife but with the mod it allows aircraft - apart from the scout for some reason to use the teleporter.

gimme.

i think uber should next push for more flexible interplanetary transitions, transportoptions and transitfunctions this should greatly help with mannaging armies across planets imo ...

I want ferry!

I'd like the Astraeus to return to orbital after unloading, so your view isn't filled with them when you're trying to command your stuff.

So area pick up works like a charm. But is there an area drop as well? Cause for me they all drop in the same place.

You can however que up a move order after the unload, to get them to fly away.

Derp. Never thought of that. Should work better now with the UI stuff.

Yep, in my photo I qued up a area pick-up, drop location and return journey in three clicks (Not included the clicks to navigate to the different planets via the planet UI).

It's so niiiiiiiiiiiice now.
