:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

In this ranked game, my opponent got less starting units then I did. I started with a transport ship whilst my opponent did not.

Even with megarandom, the starting units of all players should be equal.

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

As of yet unknown, the megarandom nature of megarandom makes this hard to account for.

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Unknown. Is there a way to reproduce a megarandom map using a specific seed number?

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

:backhand_index_pointing_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
I expect parity between me and my opponents at the start of the game. Either we both get a transport ship or nobody does.
