Aircraft and Soldiers drop their gear when transfered

[eleazar]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or an FR, but the current state is not IMHO ideal.

If you try to transfer a soldier attached to a lander, the game won't let you, so you think, that the aircraft and soldier is considered a unit for purposes of transfer.

However, if you transfer an equipped and crewed aircraft to another base, it will be transfered without any weapons or any of it's crew.
Similarly if you transfer a soldier, he will arrive without any equipment.

99.% of the time i believe that the player would want the soldiers and aircraft to retain his/its equipment and the aircraft it's crew.  But currently there's a lot of extra clicking to reassemble a crew/aircraft at a new base.


On 2.2 MacOsX Universal

I submit to that

It's possible the player may not want the soldiers to be transfered with the lander.  I think in most cases he would, but if that's a concern, a dialog could pop up, "Send crew with transport? Yes, No".

Yes, very good idea. Can't wait to see it implemented

Sorry for bumping an old thread but, when I do this (transfer the aircraft) they not only don't take the pilot, weapons or gear that is already on there, but it also goes missing entirely.
Can really be a pain when you do this early on :/

Is that 2.2.1, or are you on a development build?
