Upgrading non-Colony/Transport Ships to Transports

from GalCiv3 Forums

This might sound like an odd thing to do, however while one can upgrade colony ships to becoming military transports without issue as they have population on-board, it's also possible to ships without population, ex. scouts, to military transports. However, as these ships have no population, they become military transports with 0 population without a means to shove troops onto them. I'm not sure if there's either a way to allow players to add more people to colony/transport ships, or disallow ships without population to be upgraded to colony/transport ships, though something should probably be done about this.

Basically the ship fabricates a colony/transport module from old comet parts and interstellar dust ^_^

Thereafter, you can always add pop the usual way, by landing on a planet hex and then moving off.

 

 

 

Yor should be able to upgrade to a populated transport: they just build new Yor as part of the ship walls.  Bonus: the ship would not need any doors or intake ports, which should give an armor bonus for being hermetically sealed.  They build the crew inside-out  ;)

You actually can add pop to existing transports? I feel stupid now. If that's the case, this thread deserves a good old lock!
