I second this. The current method is tedious. Or a third option, when automated, they fly around picking up troops until full, then go park themselves until needed. Then you can take them off automation to attack, but put them back on and let the AI take care of loading troops for you.

sometimes I will see them doing it when automated, but often they just sit there doing nothing. I don't know what determines which ship would do so and which ship would not.

Also an option in the fleet screen to 'LOAD TROOPS' from that screen instead of having to choose each ship individually.

That would be useful.

It is totally ridiculous that we can't effectively slaughter alien populations without massive civil morale hits. I mean, not to put too fine a point on it, but the only race that we know about, Humans, have had no problem in their history slaughtering millions of each other with little morale hits. It's not too hard a leap to realize that if we can "de-humanize" each other enough to allow that, then we could easily make excuses for killing millions or billions of aliens on distant worlds.

I mean, genocide is not my chosen tactic to deal with alien races in DW, but if Hitler, Stalin, and Mao could do it to fellow humans, I should certainly be able to get away with doing it to aliens, no?

Hope this example isn't in poor taste. Just wanted to point out the illogic I see.
