If you are just pushing small groups around, you can Shift-Click the ships. This lets you give the orders to all of them at once, without bothering with a fleet.

In a simultaneous game, the only thing you really need fleets for is to share supplies. And to manage 50-300 ship battlegroups

Some things to try:
- Wait another turn before making your fleet
- Reuse pre-existing fleets
- If you've got vast numbers of small fleets already, disband one first.
- Send the savegame (and a link to the mod) to Aaron.

Don't forget fleet training and experience!

I can vaguely remember that I had a similar problem with fleets quite a time ago. AFAIR I could not do anything with a certain fleet or the game would freeze. But that was only a problem with one specific fleet.

I wonder what the fleet number limit is? Perhaps Mrscrogg should count how many fleets he had when the game crashed...

To answer Captain Kwok's question - it was the 65th fleet grouping that froze the game

I guess 64 fleets at one time is the limit.
