Only actual ships can drop troops. Ships can not be carried. So, your fighter/drone "system ships" can't invade planets.

Oooo. Your ships can land on planets. That's cool.

CURRENT STATUS...

Data files - 70% completed (components and facilities still in work, most other basic data files already completed or left unchanged)

AI/race files - 10% (some changes made in generic AI files, others will follow once data changes complete)

Image files - 100% (intro screens and substitute highliner/worldship pics complete)

Forgive me for being obtuse, but has this already been tried? If it has, I can still work around this limitation; but if it hasn't I'd like to see if it would work.

Fighters can not land on enemy planets and can not travel through warp points. Ships can not be carried in cargo, and can not land on any planets. Troops can not exist in space at any time. They can only be in cargo, either on a ship or a planet (yours or an enemy's).

Granted. But my question is, can Fighters (my "Riders") have Cargo hold components and therefore carry cargo? Has that been tried?

It has, and it doesn't work. Cargo can't carry cargo.

OK, this info helps. My thanks to you and Fyron. Bump the Data File status back a couple of percentage points while I redo some components...
