A curiosity question, since the release of the Collectors edition has me considering some multiplay with friends.

In Universal Combat, I was informed that a player that started as a marine on a planet could not be transported via shuttle from that planet to another. Is this still the case in UC:AWA (and the collectors edition)? Thank you.

In single player mode, you can't get off the planet you began on as a marine.

However, I guess multiplayer works differently, since the FAQ states:

Q. I AM A MARINE OR PILOT PLAYING ON A PLANET. HOW CAN I GO TO ANOTHER PLANET?
A. Marines can fly shuttles and gunships. When you deploy, find one in the region you are in.

Thank you, that should answer my question. I think the situation that came up was that I flew a shuttle down to a planet where a friend was and tried to pick him up. When I did, the game would not let me exit the atmosphere, yet I could do so just fine when he wasn't aboard. I think I'll have to dive in to a couple of copies of the UCCE (since I only own UC original) and try it out again. Thank you for the response.
