Ive been doing a little tinkering with this idea and how it would play out differntly if not every ship could carry infantry.. so if only transports/stations and the Command Faction class [CC, CD, Gang] were to retain there ability to carry troops.
So, every other ship like the AC and the Drainer Etc,.. couldnt land troops. Then if we could Add some Inf for just Combat ships there would be still a need to keep infantry in the cargo hold for ship capture and protection.
Then maybe we could could also get missions to transport special characters from planet to planet.
- Mission-
pick up Icc Senator at Extartha
orbit and select starport at Zanny
-Mission-
- Mission-
take captured Kluth to prison planet
-mission-
ok just a thought

I like it.... some sort of escort missions but for transports?
Or " buy " a escort mission at the starport to escort AI transports to planets..... the further you go the bigger the prize

Yes, thats always been the long term goal of the mission system is to have missions such as "Transport Senator to Naix"... I've already provided for this to basically be script driven, in other words, once everything is up and stable again, different mission generation scripts can be started and ran in the MV to keep things interesting.

Well the Idea is pretty much to only allow 3 classes of ships the Ability to carry Inf or AKA " Space Marines".
I think its really really stupid to Allow the Entire Fleet the ability to move troops. If anything they should have the ability to Capture other ships but not land X # troops/ Infatry on the surface. This Role should be left for the Transport and Station. And this would allow for more Developement in the Area of the Transport.. Like a ICC Assult Transport.
I would prefer a wider degree of seperation in this area. I hear the a goal for the DEV is to make it harder to capture a planet. If you take away the ability for any oL ship to land inf then i think that taking over a planet would get alot harder.

@ Faustus, yeah i was kinda tired when i wrote that. Id stayed up late in halos server. So the main part of my suggestion is not coming across very clearly. /me smacks head on desk. :/ the main part really being the speation between combat and transport roles in the fleet.
