Since we are discussing transports, how do I load a lot of units to a lot of transports fast? Because SHIFT+RMB - like in other RTS games - does not work.
The ferry command is probably your best bet. Select a lot of transports, move them to the pickup spot, click "ferry" in the lower left, then your dropoff spot. Optionally, hold shift before the last click to add waypoints.
Once the transports settle at the pickup spot, the "ferry" icon will appear on the ground where they are located.
You can then select as many units as you want and order them to move to the ferry icon and they will automatically be transported.
Also optionally, do it with only one transport, then set others to assist the ferry icon once it appears.
Also, if you set transports to assist factories, they will transport units to the factory's destination.
I believe there is also a selection mod that will load many units into many transports without using the ferry command, but I don't recall what it is at the moment.
