Stage name: CargoDump

For each ship in Id order, drops cargo. This includes the standard ship/foreign-planet cargo transfer, as well as the bdm friendly code and the Beam Down Credits mission.

  • If ship is at an unowned planet, cargo is just dropped. If ship beams down colonists, the planet is colonized.
  • If ship is at a foreign planet, cargo is dropped. If colonists are beamed down and planet and ship are not allied, ground combat or Imperial Assault happens.
  • If ship is in free space, cargo is just jettisoned.
  • Cargo transfers between ship and planet of the same race are already resolved client-side, and therefore not processed here.

This stage cannot be skipped (cargo transporters must be empty during rest of host run).
