What are Gallowfree Transports for?

[DullKnife]

When a space battle happens, I have all these Gallofree Transport ships. What are they for? What do I do with them?

Those represent your ground units in space. Most of the time, when you have this transporters in a space battle, you have been attacked and you had ground units in orbit.
They have no fighting capabilities, but they are very precious since one of your ground units is inside.

Okay good to know. Thanks for the quick response! I was waiting before the battle ^^ Love the game so far!

One more thing. What are the glowing lines that are sometimes between planets?

[JMW58]

The way I understand them is fast lanes

[extra rice]

the "glowing lines" represent hyperspace lanes, a nice bit of lore fit in there. Unfortunatley the galaxy is inaccurately modelled with wonky space lanes and planets in wierd spots (particularily in the unknown region) but mods fix that.

Worlds connected by hyperroutes also have a credit bonus. For example, if you own Muunilinst and Bonadan and hover over the credits gained from one of them when they're selected(above the galaxy minimap), one of the income flows is the connected route. So there's an economic advantage to assaulting and controlling worlds connected by these hyperlanes.

The map does have worlds placed oddly, as roundwaffles said, especially noticable if you're big into SW maps, but I chalk it up to gameplay convention so you don't have a third of the galaxy map empty and the 55 worlds squished into the other 2/3rds that's already pretty compact as is. Having an empty void in the chunk between Endor and Ilum would look odd.

Best to keep your ground units away from space battles as they will be completely useless. Some heroes however do have awesome space abilities.

Actually they have minor combat ability but it takes multiple of them to even take down one fighter squadron.

Those are the worst thing ever lived-all the AT-AT barges decides to go fight and gets destroyed=)
