Use a carry-all to transport a harvester *to* a spice field? Once a carryall 'learns' where a harvester was harvesting, it will return (should return) it to the same place. This gets mucked up if you have less carryalls than harvesters, sometimes. >2. Use a carry-all to transport tanks and other equipment? Sortof -- Once you build a repair facility, damaged (Yellow or lower) vehicles will be taken there automatically. >3. Attack an enemy carry-all? Nope. Howerver, an ornithopter (I think only Atreides get them, though) will attack enemy structures. > >If so, how do I give the orders? You really can't order ornithopters or carryalls as far as I know..
