Hey, just because we did not reply to rec.games.pbm, it does not mean that
we reply at all. Don't forget there is e-mail :-).

AUTOUNLOAD is only available in my games (unless somebody else has coded it
into his). Galaxy v3.40 does not have it.

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

I disagree with this. You will just have one ship going with 20 cargo. I am
sure about this. In galaxy Gates I have transporters which carry 1.1 units
each (has cargo space of 1). As I have 10 colonists being produced each turn,
I am only having 10 ships going off on routes.

Galaxy takes as many ships as it needs to carry all the cargo (I think it takes
then in order of groups, but I am not sure of this), and then splits the cargo
up equally between them. Therefore, in the example above, you will only need
one ship, so it will send 1 ship with 20 units. If the ships could carry
15 units each and you had 3, it would take 2 ships and give each ship 10 cargo.
