Transport Ship???

[Baldrik3505]

Hi,

I've come across an event that calls for a "Transport Ship" in orbit around a Rebel Ship, but I can find no way of building one! My Ship Yards to not have a transport ship option, so how can I get one?

Thanks a lot
Dave

Transport ships are ships, which transport your armies. You have to go not in to the shipyard but any planet menu -> armies and create any, you will automatically get a transport ship, after it's done.

Hi,

Not sure what you mean? I go to a planet and select Armies, I get 2 armies showing, there is a Recruit button and a Embark button, the Embark button does nothing, I recruited an army but still no Transport Ship? Is this what you mean?

All the Best

You recruit an army. After you do that, the transport ship will appear right next to the planet.

armies and transport ships are one and the same. you build an army and it appears in orbit.

The default armies on planets are defence armies, they are tied to the planet and can't be embarked. You need to recruit another kind (any you can build will do).

By default when you build an army it will spawn in a transport ship above the planet, but you can land them on your own planets if you want, if you've done that the Embark button will launch them as transports again.

Or in other words: armies automatically board/create their own transport ships once they leave the surface of a planet
