[1.0.1] Upgrading Transports

[d1ng0d0g]

I am not entirely sure if this is a bug, an oversight, or just something that is designed as intended.

But transports are stuck with the basic engines and it would be pretty nice to upgrade them, either by project or not.

(can't invade my neighbors planets. Sure, can probably dominate him into submission, but aside from that, no invasions)

Exactly, this is not big deal for wormhole-traveling factions, but oh my: it gets out of scale quickly for others... And I want jumpdrives on them as well!

I was just about to post this as a bug. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed!

Reposting my answer from another thread on the same issue:

"They actually are "designable", they just don't show up in the ship designer. That may seem like a meaningless distinction, but it makes a work-around possible:
Click the "auto-design ships" button in the ship designer after getting new tech and your transport design will get a updated, even if it's never shown in the list. Now embark an assault army and hit the "update ships"-button as you would for normal ships. Tadaa, shiny new fast transport ships.

Yes, unintuitive as hell. Transport ships should just show up in the list, but at least, this way you're not limited to slow transports forever until they fix it"

Yes, this works. The designed transporter is stupid in my case (no shields but full of regenerative hull), but at least it has the highest tier warp and impulse engines.

You also have to remember to delete the useless ship designs for the other classes the AI creates or you might get a bad surprise when you update your fleet the next time.

As a workaround, you can edit the "is_designable = no" line in the file "00_ship_sizes.txt" within the defines to "= yes". It doesn't effect the checksum so it's Ironman (and possibly achievement) compatible.

as right now there are some mod that address this issue. Still hope it will be later fixed

Paradox, please look into fixing this please. This is too crucial to be left to the Hegemony Autodesign computers. Tech support calls alone have the Emperor in an uproar.

Thank you for reporting this. The issue has been added to our database.

This should be done with the official Patch 1.0.3 (not the Beta-One).

Yes:

- Transport ships are now designable.
