	*All items and personnel take anywhere from 6 to 16 hours to transfer between bases, dependent entirely on distance. The minimum is 6 hours, even if your bases are right on top of each other! ''~~If anybody wants to test the fee schedule, it is probably directly related to transfer costs, so these might be able~~ to be ~~used to estimate or confirm each other~~. ~~-[[User:MikeTheRed\|MTR]]~~		*All items and personnel take anywhere from 6 to 16 hours to transfer between bases, dependent entirely on distance. The minimum is 6 hours, even if your bases are right on top of each other. For details, see the Talk page. ''(Volutar's work needs to be copied here.)''
	*Transfer fees ~~appear to be~~ distance-~~related~~. ~~This has not been well investigated, but for an example, see [[Known_Bugs#Sticky_Craft_Transfer_Fee_glitch\|~~here]].		*Transfer fees depend on item type and distance, and use a term taken from the transfer-time equation. ''(Volutar's work needs to be copied here.)''
	*The transfer queue can only ~~have a maximum of~~ 100 line items ~~in it~~. "Line items" means that e.g. a ~~one~~ transfer of 50 Alloys only counts as one line item.		*The transfer queue ([[TRANSFER.DAT]]) can only handle 100 line items at a time. "Line items" means that, e.g., a single transfer of 50 Alloys only counts as one line item. (Each row you see in the Base Info's Transfers tab is one line.)
	*~~Items transferred in~~ a ~~Troop~~ Transport all ~~only count as one line item (for~~ the ~~Transport). Also~~, ~~you are only charged the cost of the transferring the Transport~~. '~~'(Tip courtesy NKF.)'' This can be~~ a ~~good~~ way to ~~move stuff if your~~ transfer queue ~~is near full. But don~~'t ~~forget about~~ the ~~[[Known_Bugs#Sticky_Craft_Transfer_Fee_glitch\|Sticky Craft~~ Transfer ~~Fee]] when moving craft - every subsequent transfer has~~ the ~~cost of that craft's transport added to it~~, ~~for as long as the craft is in transit!~~		*If you transfer a Transport, all the weapons, soldiers, and equipment assigned to it also transfer. It's a quick way to transfer an entire fighting force, but everything will be in limbo (the transfer queue) and can't do anything until they arrive.
	**~~While soldiers do stay~~ assigned to the ~~Troop Transport~~, ~~they cannot disembark except~~ at ~~their home~~ base.		**The craft and each soldier will enter the Transfer queue. If this causes there to be more than 100 items in the queue, excess soldiers will be left behind.
	*Transferring an existing craft to a base is ''much'' quicker (6-16 ~~hrs~~) than ordering a new craft for that base (72 or 96 ~~hrs~~, plus arming/fueling time). If craft are urgently needed in an area, transfer craft from other base(s) in quieter areas, and (if required), order new craft for the quieter base(s).		**Equipment assigned to a craft is actually stored [[CRAFT.DAT\|with the craft]] (not in base stores). So it does get transferred, but doesn't show up in (or clog) the queue. (Nor will it show up at either base, while on the craft.) Don't forget to separately transfer any extra ammo or backup items your force needs.
	*Transferred craft arrive ~~with their existing weapons, fully loaded and~~ ready for a mission. Again this is faster than newly bought craft which must go through the full arming/fueling/etc cycle.		*Transferring an existing craft to a base is ''much'' quicker (6-16 hours) than ordering a new craft for that base (72 or 96 hours, plus arming/fueling time).
