     There were a number of bugs in the code for the movement of ships.
They should mostly be fixed from the first 3 patches for version 3.0 of
conquer.  A number of other bugs with the ships should be fixed with the
most recently posted patches (4 and 5).
     I have yet to fully test the ships myself, but I believe that you
need to have marines on a ship in order to land the ship in enemy
territory.  I haven't looked at the code to verify it, but it is
mentioned in the helpfile.  From what I have done in testing, it seems
as though you also need a certain number of movement points to be able
to land  (although I am uncertain about this).
