Am I right at expecting this limit to raise to 15/18 (the space of the largest dropship, without/with UGVs) when the engine supports it?
The explanation is actually believeable too, though usually in such a situation everybody would be sent to fight, despite how unprepared.

we can give this information to player ? maybe on faq here on forum ?

Duke:
Feel free to make it a FAQ forum entry if you expect the people to find and read it there ;)
IIRC there's also a FAQ in our wiki...

However, that explanation is not part of the official story(yet). It's merely a quick suggestion from a stupid coder(TM).

Destructavator:
On a related note, what is actually holding us back from breaking the eight-unit limit at this point?  Is it the code?  Or the (lack of proper) GUI?  Or both?

Duke:
As we already have more than 8 actors on the alien and civ teams, there shouuld be no prob with the general code. Afaik it's mostly a GUI thing (and some GUI-related code maybe).
AND a matter of game balance of course.
