Default Re: Compiled Questions/Bug List/Wish List

Another possible UI tweak...

In the simulator, Change Cargo section, you can only place 100M at a time before you have to close/re-open the Change Cargo menu (apparently the 'warehouse' only has 100M...)... perhaps, for a short cut, there should be a 'Specify Number' option [which should arguably be in all cargo transfer/launch/etc menus] in addition to the transfer x1, transfer x5 et al.

Considering that I was planning to test how difficult an invasion of, say, an 8000M-person Gas Giant might be, to gauge how many troops I should take in an invasion force, this would have been mind-numbingly dull...

(So I tested w/ 500M people, plus a varying number of Large Troops. Interestingly, mines in storage help the defender, although they don't seem to be lost until all the defending troops were. Didn't test w/ other units involved.)
