Re: Rookie Mistakes
With very limited playing time I've managed to send a huge Invasion Fleet on a one way do or die mission with several EMPTY transports, the troops still chilling planetside. 
And in every game I've played I've managed to click the Upgrade Facilities button when I could Least afford it! Grrrr...  |

Ten minutes? I wonder why I was so slow that night?  I think most of my turns in that game have been, Hmm, ok, still got research going, ok, no new enemy fleets showed up, END TURN! Of course that game is a little wierd being colonize only own planet type and atmosphere. It helps speed things up when you only have 4 planets.

It is not unusual for a typical turn to take me 4 hours!
|
I'm impressed; my record for a single turn is a bit over 2 hours; a typical turn is only half an hour.
I usually go through (F10 or autodisplay) Log, (F8) Research, (F9) Empires/Intelligence (if the game has progressed that far), (F11) Empire Status, (F7) Construction, (F6) Ships every turn, plus (F4) Planets, (F5) Colonies, and (F3) Designs as needed.
I have to actively suppress the urge to double- and triple-check things.

Terran, have you tested that recently for access violations. I think some of those got fixed with the latest patch.
You could get 460 troopers on a single large transport with cargo III's I think.

The latest patch? Do you mean V1.78?
Tested it with that and I couldn't overwhelm a sphearworld with one shot with a LT so I created a baseship on 2 engines, 1 QR, Master Comp, and everything else cargo bay 3s.
And, yes, it does create an access error.
As for the transports:
Transport optimized for speed and cargo:
975 small troops
650 medium Troops
487 Large troops
