Re: Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Once you mothballed the ships, they can be added to a fleet. IIRC you have to remove them from the fleet to unmothball, then return to the fleet.

I do this often just for housekeeping purposes. Fleeting mothballed, or under repair ships with a repair space station. Just makes the screen neater.

However, I can see this as an exploit, this may be why bases can no longer fleet. But the exploit is still there -- as long as one ship remains part of a fleet, fleet experience never gets lost.

Oh well, we're all on our own recognizance I guess

Re: Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
 

Actually, I remove my ships from fleets and mothball them. I often have six or seven fleets with one repair ship in them gaining experience at a training facility.

When I unmothball the ships I just add them to the existing Veteran "Fleets".

I guess the more important question is "Does the ship experience stack with fleet experience."

So with full Training, Combat sensors, ECM, and ECM armor the bonus is +100 to hit, +130 ECM.
With two equal fleets it all cancels out to +30 ECM for each fleet.
Against an equal + Talisman its: -9999999 ECM for your fleet and +30 ECM for Talisman fleet.
