Fleet Management

[Paladin]

You can check an individual ship's status while in a fleet by right-clicking on it...

What I'd like to see is some way to permanently set the formation leader while we select the default strategy... It seems to always choose my repair frigate instead of my brand new, big gunned Flagship... It just ruins the formation if we change at the start of a battle...

Also kicking in my 2¢, I agree with the need to be able to pick your own fleet leader. I haven't checked out the repair fleet transfer issue as I usually just fly a repair vessel alongside the combat ships, and keep it out of the way when the depleted uranium starts flying.

I'd also like to see the ability to upgrade more than one ship in a fleet at once without getting the "ship already matches specified design" error messsage. (The phrasing of that may not be right - I can't remember the exact wording right now.) Transferring all the vessels out of a fleet, upgrading, and sending them back into the fleet afterwords seems unneccesarily complicated.

Wingte,

Er, I downloaded v0.56 Demo Version Last week and that's the one I've been playing.

I never had a chance to try out v0.51.
