It has always bugged me that in UFO there is a Xcomutil option to make the Interceptors into mini-transports, but there has never been anything like that for TftD.
Since I've had some time on my hands recently, I decided to have a go at makeing a copy for the Baracuda and Manta.

The Baracuda can transport up to six troops, and to represent the fact its a small craft, has a limit of 50 items.
The Manta can transport up to eight troops (including one tank), and like the Baracuda is a small(ish) craft, and so has a limit of 65 items.
I am sorry about the low graphics quality, but if someone wants to lend a hand, send me a message.
If there are any problems with the files/maps ect. please post info and pictures so I can fix it.

That is really nice, good work with the graphics. Thanks for this. :)
Now all we need for a complete fleet is a Manta map..... ;D
-
Looks cool, going to try it out for my next playthrough

This is lovely and a very worthy contribution. Not only is this is a quite sexy ship, you also managed to take into account the design of the Barracuda picture in the Ufopedia.
Now, I wonder how you can comb the giant battelfields of TFTD with only a team of 6 ...

Well, when taking down a small scout vessle, it shouldn't be a problem. My only question is: The OP says, that there's an option for X-COM, to do that as well. Is that somehow included in a mod or something, or does that only go for X-COM and xcomutils?

It is one of the default OpenXcom mods, it is called XcomUtil_Fighter_Transports

Indeed. Thanks for the hint.

Great Idea - Working on it - Proof of Concept image

Yes, it is crap - as I said Proof of Concept. The out-of-place floors are being used as placeholders at the moment. I hope to work on the graphics this week. (when I have time)
-
Looks fine already, even with the placeholders :)

Done - See First Post.
-
Now that looks really smooth!

Wow, now THAT is some great work. 8)
Thank you for this!
edit: tested it in the Battle generator and it looks and works flawlessly. :)

Hi All - This is being posted in all my threads.
This is a Note to everyone who uses my Mods.
On Monday morning, when I went to turn my PC on, there was a bang and smoke started to flow from the power supply. While my drives and data are intact, the power supply and motherboard are toast. (I'm posting this from a borrowed laptop at the local library)
I have got a replacement lined up, but I'm currently waiting for some parts to arrive. (They should be here in a week/week and a half) I'm sorry but untill my PC is back up and running I have to put any changes/fixes to my mods on hold.
However please keep any suggestions/requests/bug reports comeing in. I can still work with these - I just can't make any changes till I get my new PC.

Sorry about the large time out, but life has been busy recently, and now I have the curve ball of having to shift for the first time in 20 years as the landlord has had no choice but to sell.
I'll try to keep these going, but any help would be appreciated.
