Starships not transporting

[twistedreasoning]

Sooo..... I attacked a mkIII planet with an armor inhibitor on it. Killed everything but the inhibitor. Problem is, now I can't load up my starship on transports anymore. Everything else loads onto them, just not the starships. Intended behavior or bug?

That would be a bug if I understand you correctly.

Which specific starship type?

And can you try the auto-load function (select the ships to load, alt+right-click empty space to open the context menu, then click auto-load) to make sure it's not a problem with clicking the transport?

All of them, seige, bomber, light starship...

Ok weird.... before the post I tried clicking on that transport ship 100 times to load the starships, both individually and in a group with other fleet ships (that loaded and left the starships outside), and it didn't work....

but then....

I just tried auto-load and it worked! And then i tried it again without auto-load.... and it worked again!

Hmm... no idea why that jump started it, but i'll take it!

[keith.lamothe]

It's probably because the clickable area of a transport is much smaller than its icon, which is something we need to address at some point.

[keith.lamothe]

We actually found the root cause, and by its nature it goes away across a save and load and perhaps in some other cases.

Anyway, it's fixed for 4.043
