Away Teams

[Telemachus]

I've been playing BCMG for only a few days now, but have made excellent progress sofar; however, there is one thing I am still stuck on: deploying away teams on a planet from a shuttle craft.

Once my shuttle is landed, I select all the marines from crew control, and assign them to the away team; I then go into the away team submenu, select all the marines assigned to the away team, and deploy them using Deploy - SC 1 Team (or whatever it was). Only 1 marine is deployed.

What am I doing wrong?

Are you sure you are not trying to deploy Space Force Marines on the planet? They won't leave the craft.

Also all troops you want to deploy should be in the same away team.

I thought I was using marines 10-20. I'm using a Firestorm, and must have hit the down arrow by accident; if I selected 30-40, I guess that would explain it. Thanks for the info.

Wait a minuit, if they were space marines, how was it that one of them left the craft?

Love the game.

He probably was the only one that wasn't a Space Force Marine.

The marines in a ship are distributed (at game state) by percentages. To find out which types you have on board, go to Tactical/Crew/Marines and then toggle the inventory view. If a marine has a Sabre rifle, he's SFM class.

I've just tried deploying SF marines manually, from a shuttle, on a planet. 7 out of 8 tries, I was able to deploy a single SF marine; my machine crashed right as I deployed the marine on the 8th try. I haven't tried combinations of marines & SF marines yet, although I'll give it a shot if you'd like. Is this something that has been fixed in a recent patch? I've not updated as of yet, have to buy some more CDs.
