A Space Dock is both a structure and a unit.
Fighters transported during movement remain assigned to the transporting ship until movement is complete. They cannot be counted towards a space dock’s allocation until after movement is complete.
- If a player moves one of their units with capacity into a system, transporting fighters, they cannot pick up ground forces from a planet in that system with that ship by transferring those fighters to a space dock in that system to free up capacity.
