Summary0003117: Possible to instantly unload Transports in hostile territory.
DescriptionNormally transports unload at 10 ships a second, but if you pause, right click on unload, and shift click "all units" a lot of times, all the ships unload at once, as if that command misses the command to check if in hostile territory.

Unable to reproduce. I:
1) Built a transport.
2) Loaded it full.
3) Sent it to a hostile planet.
4) Right clicked the unload button.
5) Paused.
6) Held shift and clicked the "Units x200" button a _ton_ of times.
7) Unpaused.
8) Watched it unload 10 at a time.

If you have a save and reliable steps to reproduce, please reopen.

I knew I should have saved when I noticed the bug, I can't reproduce it either. Frustrating, but I guess an exploit that isn't relyable isn't that much of a worry.

Yea, if this was easily doable it'd be a major exploit, please do let me know if you pin down how it's done. But I looked at the code pretty closely and didn't see how it would manage to unload more than the specified amount each game-second. Unless somehow the is-this-hostile-territory check failed altogether, and that's not really something that can be impacted by the commands given to the unit.
