| Summary | 0011045: Allow Champion to transport allied units | ||||
| Description | Action RTSes like AirMech and Glory Days also assign the role of the dropship to the player's hero unit, in AirMech you transport everything, in GD you only ferry paratroopers but either way, you are the one who's responsible for quick repositioning of units. I think this could work with the AIW champion as well. The champion could "swallow" allied ships (including nebula minor faction ships) without requiring consent from the owner (maybe an off-by-default CTRL to disallow allied Champs grabbing your units) of those ships and transport them around. Not sure what kind of capacity it should have. This would have the dual purpose of working as a transport in regular space and as a form of commanding in nebulae, just nap those allied ships and unload them where you want them to fight. Of course the Champ cannot enter a nebula while it has units in its cargo bay so non-Champs can't join the nebula scenarios. Not sure whether the Champ should auto-unload its contents when attempting to jump into a nebula or just refuse to enter with an appropriate message. Optionally there could be a module line (maybe even two for the different slot sizes) that increases cargo space for players who want to focus on the dropshipping role. | ||||

actually rather than being a core setting, i think it would be a nice module addition but since its so hard to pick modules out would have some serious graphic issues to work out. |

I think the answer to that is to make it so that: * Ships load by right-clicking on the champion * The unload button appear in the champion's ability tabs Even if the ability comes from a module. |
