Status: offline 		After loading a character in a troop transport via the "transfer" button on a planet troop tab, and then subsequently unloading him via the "transfer" button on the character screen, it seems to keep a copy of him on the troop transport (but not in the character screen). See screen shot.

Status: offline 		If the doubles aren't in the character screen, this is most probably a display bug. And it might last only as long as the character is transferring. Check again after the character complets transfer.

Status: offline 		Hello Tampa_Gamer;
Please upload a savegame of this to the FTP so Elliot can take a look. We had this bug
fixed previously in an earlier version, but it seems that some new addition has made it
reoccur. Also, note that no matter where your Troop General is actually stationed, if the
Troop Transport with his image(s) on it is destroyed or scrapped, he will be killed. If
you test this, then I'll know if it's the same bug. Also please inform if you are playing
'vanilla' DW or a theme. Thanks for this report!

- was having problems with the upload to FTP, but here is a link to the save game I uploaded to my media fire page:
CharacterCloningBugSaveGame

I did as you instructed and even though the 3 "clones" were aboard the troop ship "LST Tarawa 02" and the real Douglas MacArthur was on Naxxil 12, when I scrapped the troop ship he was killed.

Yes, this was a custom theme that I was using which contains my custom human race with custom ship graphics, custom character graphics, etc. However, this theme has been used for a multitude of games over the past year or so and this is the first time I have encountered this bug.

Hope this helps

Status: offline 		Thanks Tampa. Yes it seems the previous bug has reappeared. I'm sure Elliot will address
it in the next update.
