1.9.5.4 - obscured planet, unable to load/unload troops

Post by Kayoz »

Issue:
Unable to load or unload troops from planet that has a large orbital base, such that the base overlaps the planet completely.

There seems to be no work-around (that I'm aware of) to allow one to manually direct troop unloading to a specified planet.

Steps to reproduce:
Build a suitably large space port over a planet. Then create a fleet with troops carried by it. Try to unload the troops at the planet.

I think there are workarounds.

To unload, zoom out to sector level or similar, ctrl right click on the system. Unload at should appear.
To load the same ought to work, but you can also load from the troop tabs in the colony screen.

Finding a colony beneath a small spaceport is indeed a minor pain, but zooming way out is usually my solution to most woes in targeting.

you could scale the spaceport on creation, or edit the planet to be larger.

You can also scale the image/object "on the fly" I think...
