Summary0022503: Enable spawning of non-standard transports
DescriptionCurrently, it seems like the best starting fleet is the Cloaked Fleet... not because it's necessarily all that much better than the other fleets, but because it offers a unique capability; it's the only way to get a Cloaked Transport Flagship, which is an incredible tool for deep strikes against critical AI targets. If you don't take that starting fleet, you won't get a fleet with that capability, since only standard Transport Flagships currently spawn (this also affects the Agile Transport Flagship, but I find that stealth is more generally-useful than speed).

This should be changed; if variant transports had some chance of spawning at all, then I'd feel less need to take the Cloaked Fleet every single game.

I think the reason it is currently this way is because the perks system for XP upgrades isn't in yet.

XP is being retired as of next patch. Time to have another look at this issue?

My default answer would be to remove the cloaked fleet, so hopefully chris has better ideas ;-)

Yep, I think that this and Agile need a chance to randomly seed around. I'll take a look.

Thanks!

* Agile transports can now be found throughout the galaxy, not just as part of the one of the starter fleets. They are the same rarity as the cloaker transports.
** They also now have their own tech line, and their techs are 2x as expensive as normal. Except for the last mark, which is toned down because that would be crazy.
** If these seem too hard or easy to find in practice, please let us know.
