Default Re: Assault Troop Transport

It's really too bad there is no assault order as you mentioned.

I've seen a couple of cases in simultaneous where transports with fighting abilities would be helpful in AI-controlled combat.

One is when there is a target planet with no weapon platforms. The ship will then go try to launch troops, even if there are enemy fighters (or perhaps even ships) flying around.

Another is when something hostile heads over where the transport and other support ships are hiding in a corner trying to avoid being hurt by a raging battle. This may be an enemy support ship, or enemy units/ships with orders to target unarmed targets. At this point, even a lightly armed presence can be decisive in a corner battle and save/destroy many support ships.
