Load units in ships

I'm experiencing a bug that only frigates can load ships and more advanced units do not so if I upgrade to Ironclad or Transport (if is it not for Transport why this name?) it can't load units. This is a lot annoying because interrupt my cities expansion after I get a bit more technological advanced. It would be interesting that more advanced ships too load units.

Frigates and Ironclads should be upgrading to Destroyers – the Galleon is the one that's upgraded to a Transport, and they should very much be able to transport units.

The exact specifics depend on which ruleset you're using, but you can generally check the in-game help browser for information like that – in the entry for Frigates, it should mention their transport capacity, as well as what they are obsoleted by.

But yeah, it's a bit weird for a unit to lose its carrying capacity as it's upgraded; again, this might be different in other rulesets.

Hi all,
Loading units onto ships interrupts city expansion.poppy playtime chapter 3To solve the problem users need to upgrade units and their transport capabilities in Freeciv.

This limitation becomes really annoying as I progress through the tech tree. Once I upgrade from Frigates to Ironclads or build Transports, I suddenly lose the ability to move land units over water. This halts my city expansion, colonization, or even military strategy after reaching a more advanced technological level.
