I don't how much complicated it is (and I still not have looked at the
recent fog of war changes) but wouldn't it be better if this handled
in the civserver?
I mean not to send the unit infos which are in a transporter (and remove
the units if they enter a transporter unit). This is IMO the right thing
and how it should be at the end of all.
