if you fall into the 1a syndrome like me, you can just 1 shift move click all of your shuttles for full load out | ||

I've tried every button combination I can think of, but the fastest way I can find for quick loads is holding shift+L and clicking on all the units. But when I watch pro replays, it seems they're picking up whole armies quickly. Can anyone explain how this is done? Any help is greatly appreciated. 1) Select all the units you want to put into dropships. 2) Hold down shift. 3) Right-click each dropship once. | ||

Or right click destination and right click the portraits while it's on the move. I think I saw Cauthonluck do this against TLO in the HDH, and I for the life of me cannot figure it out. 2 options 1) unload the units individually while the dropship is traveling. to do this you click the wire frame of each unit 2) *good* alternatively you can tap "d" to unload all and then select the dropship itself. then the dropship unloads all on itself and decelerates slowly. this is prob what you saw - note the dropship does lose speed using this method but it is effectively a moving drop and most good players use it | ||

Using rally points to auto load units into transports. It is also possible to auto load newly created units into a transport by setting the rally point of the unit creation structure onto the transport. Example (set Barracks rally on Medivac). Another way is to set the rally point of a transport creation structure onto the unit to be loaded (up to 4 units can be queued up to be loaded). Example: Set rally point of Starport onto Siege Tank (or hold shift and right click on multiple units to be loaded). | ||

Also I keep accidentally loading half my army into my medivacs  They have so many bars (life, energy, units) that it's difficult to automatically see when there's units in them >_< | ||

Another problem I think I have is when you have several dropships selected, and you right click on one, then before it's finished loading you right click on another. In SC, this generally results in both dropships picking up as many units as possible, but in SC2 it seems that the first dropship just stops loading once the second one gets the order. Anyone else have some thoughts about dropship behavior? | ||
