Reinforcements |
|
Reinforcements are available for many Transport Missions. |
|
|
 |
Requesting Reinforcements: |
Select the Load Transport icon (top left). This opens the
Transport Menu (left side) and the Reinforcements Menu
(right side). |
|
Loading Reinforcements: |
Select
from any of the available reinforcements, by clicking on
each unit box. This will load them into the transport. |
|
|
Launching the Transport: |
|
Select the Launch Transport button to send the transport to
the mission site. |
|
|
|
Reinforcement Time: |
|
This is how long it takes the transport to fly from the base
to the mission site. This varies according to the distance
to the mission site and prevailing weather conditions. |
|
|
|
Compromised Landing Zone: |
|
A
landing zone becomes compromised whenever there are enemy
units present in the LZ area. If a transport cannot land at
a compromised LZ, it will hover above until the LZ is clear.
As soon as the LZ is clear, the transport will come down
immediately and drop off the reinforcements. |

|
Transport Missions and the Order Reticule |
|
During transport missions you still have access to all of
the facilities at your base. |
|
Manufacture |
Any units manufactured are available for use as
reinforcements during the mission, or can be stockpiled for
use on your return. |
|
Building |
Trucks can only build defensive structures when on Transport
Missions. Send trucks as part of your first transport group
to build gun towers and defenses that protect the landing
zone from being compromised. |
|
|
Research |
Artifacts and research topics can be researched and used
when on transport missions. |
|
Design |
New units can be designed and manufactured. If time
permits they can even be shipped to the mission site in the transport as
reinforcements. |
