You can create heavy units with one weapon.
When creating a unit, switch to another tab and do any action - create or modify a Formation Template, for example. Go back to the creation window and click the “Create” button. Any other action in this window will return the unit to its normal state.
You can create a unit instantly using SM or research it as usual.
Using such units in combat does not cause errors in the game.
In my opinion, the ability to create such units looks pretty cool.
Comparison with normal* units:
*Normal units use light armor, not medium, which makes them half in cost.

“MV: Geosurvey System” is funneling all my survey ships with that standing order into a single system called Rasdor, where they keep jumping back and forth to the Felyra system. Both of those systems are already fully geo and grav surveyed.
For example check Rasdor/Felyra systems and check survey ships there. Gamma Solaris is really far away and has a different survey ship that also goes there. If you select a survey ship that has “MV: Geosurvey System” standing order and delete all movement orders, as soon as you pass time it will try traveling to Rasdor. When it gets there it will start looping back and forth between Rasdor/Felyra.

Steve, would you please have a look at that potential bug?
It ruins auto survey orders when this happens and it would be awesome if we could get rid of it for 3.0.
