I cannot seem to add both lance and drop pods for military transport.
default gives you low orbit drop pods on second slot. Heavy drop pods and lance shows up on first slot. If both weapons are deleted, you end up with only 1 weapon, either a lance or pods.

Transports have the ability to have either a Lance or Drop Pods. If the default Military Transports have them, then it is a balancing thing that Cory put in. Even if it is there, it does nothing for the ship, so it changes nothing about thow thw Military Transports are used.

I noticed the same thing myself on android a few months back, though I haven't tried it lately: If you start with the canned "Military Transport" in the Ship Designer it seems to put the Low Orbit Drop Pods in a different slot (?), so you can add a Lance and still keep the drop pods. I'll try it again and post a screen cap if it still works. Edit: Here's the pics:   Now that I review the pics it looks like, in the canned design, the Drop Pods may be getting put in the Torpedo slot? These were shot in 2.2.15 BTW. |

Thanks for the full explanation, added #4X-3101 for this! LOL! I wasn't complaining though... ...I was actually happy that my military transports can shoot down bogies. I was disappointed when I found out that I cannot add lance with heavy drop pods  I'm using android. screenshot above was exactly what I was asking about. Also I noticed on my earlier games, it must have been on Rinze 32x32 (free version) when Military Transport was equiped with Lance and with Barrage, they hit about 50+ damage compare to others (strike fighters & cruisers) that hits with normal damage of mid-teens. This happened on all difficulty levels, but not sure about impossible, I haven't tried impossible. I'm currently playing The Rim 100x100 62 worlds (crazy), they seem to hit at normal levels. |

Unfortunately on older games, the ship design template is not updated when we fixed it in the game.
To preserve saved games, we do not force them to change when game updates are applied. If you researched the "Military Transport" before it was fixed, it will have 3 slots worth of weapons.
The current release, and all future games will only have 2 slots of weapons. The bugs related to Barrage on the Military Transport are also fixed. They're not very viable in combat armed with a Lance. This is intentional.
