Loading Transports

I'm having trouble controlling this. Is there a key, or method to do this? Some of my transports load while parked near colonies but some don't. Thanks for any help.

Double click on the Transport (lower right hand side of the screen) when in the specific Planet screen. At the bottom on the right hand side you will get a box appear with a slider bar for setting the amount of troops for the Transport once you're happy just select "launch" in the same box and there you go.

You can also use the mousewheel once the troop loading dialog has come up to adjust the number of troops being loaded.

LK01,

You may have enabled "auto-launch" for certain planets. When a TR is built, it will immediately deploy adjacent to its home system with a half-load. You can reload it by moving the TR back into its system and following the Welshman's advice.

Cari,

It would be very helpful to have an "entry box" (like money transactions in the diplomacy screen) to load both TR's and Colony Ships for the benefit of those of us who don't have mousewheels (laptops, older mice, etc.). Thx.

Yep, that's been suggested before and it's on my list.
