Cannot pickup enemy conturret without area load

[MeSaber]

Description

Heavy trans can leftclick enemy radar to pickup, but not enemy conturret.

Leftclicking enemy conturret to pickup is broken for some reason, gotta use area load.

Expected Behaviour

J -> leftclick enemy conturret -> goes to pickup.

Actual Behaviour

J -> leftclick enemy conturret -> cancels command.
J -> leftclick enemy radar -> goes to pickup.
J -> leftclick enemy LLT -> goes to pickup.

I can not reproduce it, seems to be working fine for me with both cortex and armada heavy transport

Can confirm, reproducible. Same behavior (not in vid) in light transports of both factions as well: unable to pick up enemy conturrets with regular load command.

Side note, is it intentional that transports do not have a "default command" when right clicking enemy units? I'm not sure the terminology, but basically when you right click (no order selected) an allied unit, you issue a load command, but it doens't work with enemy units.

I did find the issue in the code, but from the comments in the code the bug seems to be the other way around: Transports should not be able to pick up teammates and enemy con turrets, and area-pickup overwrites this behavior. This is ~13 years old code though, so I'm not sure this is still the intended behavior.

For the game design team, could you let me know which behavior is the preferred one? I assumed this was a bug as well, but it seems to be a feature. Do you want to (1) Let transports pick up enemy and teammates nano turrets, or (2) Prevent area-load from picking up enemy and teammates nano turrets
