To hell with the controversy the game is great fun, zero bugs so far for me just a couple of questions: 1. I was just given a scarab by finding a phoenix base however I can’t find an option to take it into battle? 2. I assume the base building is just placeholder and that I should just ignore it for the time being? Thanks ---

You just need to have a space in the dropship. > [@Shrike](#): > > I assume the base building is just placeholder and that I should just ignore it for the time being? Yes. It will be in next Backers Build. ---

Thanks yokes. Yeah I assumed it was something like that. Regards the Vehicle when I go through my list of soldiers and scarab do I have to highlight it? Move it above other soldiers? I only have 5 soldiers at the moment as I got ambushed at an alien nest. I also don’t know where manticore space is indicated. ---

1 vehicle, 4 troops that’s a full load for the Manticore. ---

Got it. That makes sense. I assume deselecting soldiers is done in the personnel list. Thanks ---

At the moment I take one of each type of troop and the Assault normally drives it. As an add on suggestion if a trooper runs out of ammo could they go to the apc and reload with some clips stored in the vehicle? ---

I’d just max strength on your assault and use them as your pack mule. ---

I know, but it would be a bit more ‘realistic’ rather than using a game play exploit. Sheesh using realistic describition about a game!😉 ---

True, can’t deny that.
