What would you like to see in Freeciv? Do you have a good idea what should be improved or how?

New unit: transport aircraft

Post by samdef »

Should we have a new "transport aircraft" unit that can carry 2-4 land units? This would be useful for landlocked civilizations that would otherwise not be able to transport units to other continents.

This is easily doable through ruleset, which means you can do it yourself on your computer.

I've just realized that the Freeciv repository contains extra sprites that are suitable for representing transport aircraft: https://github.com/freeciv/freeciv/blob ... _units.png

Passenger aircraft is probably necessary to fix the unrealistic behavior of paratroopers.
