What is Manually controllable Carryalls? The carryall aircraft in TS can be controlled by the player.
Drop Pods is just a new type of paradrop.
Firestorm generator logic and effects isn't needed for TS, it is a feature of FS.

Basically the same as #4312 but for Tiberian Sun as opposed to the automatic carryall system we have for Dune 2000. [#6780, #7033, #7167]

Then 👎 for that which is a pretty fundamental change.

[Mailaender]

Renamed it to Dropships to manually pick up and release units (Carryalls). Hope this is easier to understand now.

@phrohdoh:

Please check the facts first, this is simply completely wrong.

I don't get what your problem is. In original TS the Carryall (not Dropship) was controllable and could pick up vehicles you could then transport anywhere on the map. Why 👎 a feature original TS had?

[reaperrr]

@Mailaender: Changed back to Carryalls, Dropships were not controllable (they appeared in single-player only, actually).

[phrohdoh]

Ah sorry I read Matt's comment wrong. I thought he meant using the Carryalls in the same way that D2k does.

[gangster-ppm]

I would preferred a manually controlled carryalls but with full auto mode if they were "docked" at refinery. :) also I d like to add Cliff shadow feature in the list.

Installation of Firestorm assets from CD and download.
I don't think this has a place here.
