Are these spelled out anywhere? Or just in the devs heads for now?

For some time there has been a mockup for assigning units to craft. It's probably not going to be quite like that, that's mostly up to geever and bayo_O, but that was the basic idea. Essentially, it comes down to "soldier space" and "UGV space" in a dropship, which are mutually exclusive.

Remember that the amount of soldiers will eventually be increased (this means UI work as well as other code changes, mattn wasn't clear about this). The largest amount of soldiers that can be in a dropship (the Herakles) is 12. The largest amount of UGVs (again the Herakles) is 3. So you would have a maximum of 15 units on a mission. However, in base defence missions this might be even more.

The most logical thing for basedefend should be that ALL available soldiers should fight, but we could make a upper limit of 15 soldiers fighting @ the same time there & add reinforcements automatically if soldiers die & additional soldiers are still available...

Silversnow:
Excuse me for the newbie question, but where can we see what remains to be done?
Just in case we may have the skills to help  ;)

BTAxis:
What exactly do you mean? You want to know what remains to be done on UGVs/2x2 units, or what remains to be done until the game ins finished? If you meant the former, Duke and I intend to update the TODO for this, will probably have to discuss it first. If you meant the latter, there is no clear answer I can give you, only "a lot of everything". If you want to help, I suggest you take a look at the sticky thread.
