I added some info about TFTD to the article since it talks about TFTD too. I noticed though that some of the info conflicts with Base_Defense (TFTD) article. e.g. here it says the item limit has been raised to 110, there it says the limit is still 80. Anyhow, I can verify there's a sorting algorithm from my experience, but not much further. I wonder if it may end up preferring unresearched guns for example.. Cesium 20:02, 30 December 2009 (EST)

Hadn't realized that there was a page for TFTD. I just corrected it to 110 (this number is actually from the Unofficial Strategy Guide but from what I recall it is correct). About the sorting algorithm I can't confirm it. Hobbes 20:40, 30 December 2009 (EST)
I just ordered a lot of Jet Harpoons, Dart Guns and Chemical Flares to a base and let the aliens find it. The equipment available in the load screen was mainly Sonic Rifles and Sonic Cannons. The Darts, Jets and Flares were not available. Something has to account for the quartermaster being sane, and we do know some attention was given to base defense (since the item limit was raised). I guess only way to be sure is for someone to disassemble the executable and examine the code.... Cesium 09:35, 31 December 2009 (EST)

Not sure the 110 number for TFTD is technically correct. When I try to load more than 80 items on a craft I still get a warning. --Zombie 22:31, 30 December 2009 (EST)

The limit for weapons being carried in craft is still 80 but for the base defense missions the game allows for 110 items. Hobbes 22:56, 30 December 2009 (EST)
