In a current metaverse game I am playing, I just noticed that I cannot design any new ships with troops modules, even though I have the Planetary Invasion tech along with many others through Space Marines. It lets me build and see the default transport ship and the ones I have created from previous games, but does not let me load them with any troops and does not display that they have the troops module installed.
The only thing I can think of is that I traded for the tech Planetary Invasion quite a while ago in the game and it may have missed a trigger somewhere that I was able to use the troops module because I did not research the tech myself.
I am not sure if this is a known issue, but it definitely seems like something is out of sorts. I also have saved games if those would be of any help. Also, this is under version 1.1 (not the most recent fix 1.11).
Thanks
