Yeah. They still may be restricted somewhat.. I do not know if they will be able to occupy gunner seats, for instance. Or maybe they can for a gal/sundy, but nothing else.

But its definitely no longer 2 max units per like in PS1.

In my mind, I can see a lodestar filled to the brim with infantry, who do not have a "bail" key, but are just like cattle. Then you do a barrel roll in your lodestar and...
