Hello, I have been keeping “good to know” notes when I find out something that is not [or not well] documented].

I agree with most of the notes you posted; I have just a couple minor comments...

- ships must leave fleet to be refit or do specialized functions [use emergency supply, build ships, etc.]

Actually, you don't have to leave a fleet to build a ship; you just can't access the build screen directly from the fleet. (i.e., when you have the fleet selected on the main screen, the "build queue" icon won't light up). HOWEVER, if you go to the Construction Queues screen, you should be able to find the appropriate spaceyard ship/base in the list and you can add items to the queue from there. I do this for building ringworlds/sphereworlds - not only is it easier on the eyes to have all those ships in a single fleet, if you access the queues from the construction queues screen you can do use multi-add for setting up builds on the plating or cables...

- if all ships in a fleet break formation, they go to their individual ship orders. this may be what you want.

I think some ships retain the fleet orders even when they break formation, but I could be wrong about this. There's been a lot of discussion about ship orders vs. fleet orders and what each strategy really means...
