Summary0001045: Ease of Use: Transports Right-Click Unload and Attack Target
DescriptionJust an idea, but would it be possible to allow right-clicks on a unit, as in a fortress, and have the transport dump all of its units automatically which will automatically attack whatever unit was clicked upon?

Of course, in case of unit ranges and unintentional mis-clicks, the transport should move right up to the target if it is not already in close proximity and the sound for the usual "unit confirm attack" should play.

I would say that modifier key is a must - doing this by accident when trying to fly with transports to wh would be painful experiment.

I'm up for a default of "move the current location of the clicked unit/structure" type behavior, because the range on that is HUGE when in a far enough zoom.

Well, I would think that holding CTRL would do the job of ensuring you don't accidentally unload them, just as if you wanted them to travel through a wormhole.
