I like it, but I think we're getting into "Is this even possible?" territory.

How is it not possible? It would be the same function as the land based units loading and unloading. I doubt its not possible.

The load/unload stuff from garrisons/transports on land does not work at all in space, and none of this is anywhere near as simple as anyone's making it out to be. There's a reason it's been 7 years and no mods have included it. Pox did a script once that allowed the basic functions, but there are still a lot of problems associated with it, not the least among which nis that you're despawning and respawning things so you essentially just get a new squadron and damage doesn't carry over. I don't believe it would work with heroes at all, but I could be wrong. Pox would know more than me on this.

Yeah, I agree about the no damage thing, and that it would be a lot harder than some think to make it work. I guess it would be kind of like the individual ship retreat thing, where you could just bring them right back in with absolutely no damage done to it.

Is there a chance you make the proton torpedos a bit smaller, they look way bigger than most of bombers where they are launched from. It's a minor detail but it's quite funny

I actually think that the torpedo part is quite small, but the exhaust trail is mostly what you are seeing. I could be wrong about that though.

Yeah, I think you are right about it, the torpedo is small but it has that huge red exausht, It's like a huge signal that syas "Your shields won't last long"

I'm just happy they don't break through shields anymore (Imagines NR Era 5 with a fighters having canon armaments and shudders). But yeah, I think they are probably going to leave them like that because it gives you an easily identifiable warning signal of doom.

How bout Spec Ops being more useful. I mentioned it before but how bout NR Commando/ Storm Commando etc. be teams of three or four with multiple weapons sniper/heavy repeating blaster/PLEX missile so that they can handle multiple threats and act like actual Spec Ops teams. That way they can fight infantry, vehicles ect. Would make them way more useful and multi-purpose role oriented like Spec Ops would be.

Now that sounds like a good idea, but you would have to manage your squad very carefully since infantry get slaughtered so quickly. Running into a platoon of maulers would completely ruin your day.

I finally got a decent suggestion- Is it possible that SSDs and Sovereigns can take up an even(14 or 16) number of supply? 15 is a nightmare for my symmetry fleets.

More emphasis on commando actions in the Hunt For Zsinj campaign, his shadow financial Empire and destabilization agents. Perhaps a smaller themed GC like the BFC one but in the Ciutric Hegemony with two very limited ships(IE both sides don't replace losses virtually at all) with a tough emphasis on using resources and ships wisely as you can't replace them as well as other GCs

Eriadu should be given higher stats (pop limit, buildings, space station), seeing how important it was in-universe.

Honestly I don't know how can everyone have population problems in this mod. I always conquer the galaxy with less than half of the population used and my forces overwhelm the enemy. They are two times the AI ones

Oh, I agree with that.  Except in a few GC's where you start with NO planets practically, I can't build fast enough to keep anywhere NEAR the population limit.

If you are talking about Reunification with the IR then I agree with you but I'm not quite sure if Eriadu appeared in that GC. Anyway just my opinion about it and consedering what you've said about Eriadu, it makes sense
