Yea, think of the carrier as a large fridge, and it will all make sense.

[more rage]Fridges are irrelevant to nuclear explosions![/more rage]
Though I did resolve the situation somewhat more diplomatically (7 lightnings).

That still leaves the nuke as pointless.

George Lucas disagrees.

[rage beginning to manifest slight Cockney accent]That doesn't make them right, it just makes him wrong as well![/rage]

Does the same logic apply to Human Transports as well?  Last time I tried, I lost the transport and the units inside of it.

George Lucas disagrees.

Fridge = Transport Mk II?

As far as I am aware, all 'transport' type units eject their contents upon death.

I've never tried the setups being talked about in the thread though so maybe there is some odd outlier going on here.

Transport contents (either mark) die if nuked (unless nuke immune).

[Diazo]

So if a transport carrying a fighter and a flagship was nuked, the transport and fighter would die, but the flagship would survive?

D.

[Faulty Logic]

^Yes.

[Diazo]

Huh. I did not know that.

Comment made on the Transport wiki page about it.

Oh, if this is the case, then yes, Carriers should follow the same logic. Carriers are supposed to mimic transports in many ways after all.

Keith, any chance of making the AI a little less fill carrier happy when you have forces on a planet? I don't have good saves for it, but often I will fly my fallen spire fleet in, shoot at the Special forces poping several Carriers, and the AI response is to put every ship right back into a Carrier on the same planet until I am facing nothing but MKV guardians as it can't condense it anymore. And very often they will just hop back in a carrier after I killed just a few of them.

Oh your poor CPU.

Yea, I can try to make units ineligible for carrier deployment if they were just recently created (including deployed-from-carrier) or recently took damage.

If I try to key it off human forces on a planet that can get tricky with cases we wouldn't anticipate where it'd basically just shut down carrier formation altogether.

Awesome patch

Awesome patch

I jest, but when I saw that I thought "Hmm, a positive statement.  I wonder if Kahuna's forum account got hacked."
