Only one Large ship per fleet?

March 20, 2006 2:59 AM from

Hi everyone:

After several trial games to learn the mechanics, I am in my first serious campaign in a medium galaxy on bright. I have gotten to the point in which I can build large ships but even though my logistics is up to 16, I can't put more than 1 large ship in a fleet.

While I suppose it would make sense to have only one capital ship in a fleet, there is no indication this should be the case (only 5 logistic points per large ship, and no warning message or any other text in the tech descriptions).

Does anybody know if this is just a bug, or meant to be this way?

Thanks!

Either you're doing something wrong or you found a bug. You can have as many capital ships in a fleet as you want (and your logistics ability allows).

I've not had a problem having more than one capital ship in a fleet, even with my logistics level at 16.

With 16 logististic can you normally have 3 large ships in a fleet, if that isn't the case do you have a bug.

I've encountered this bug before as well. Sometimes I can't group certain ships together, even tiny hulls.

I haven't tried reproducing it, but the difference was that my two ships grouped together were lv25 while the one that wouldn't group with them was still lv0. I had thought that ships with big level gaps couldn't group.

I too have run into this bug more then once, it's happened ATLEAST one with every hull i've used (mainly Human and Yor styles), i've been meaning to post something about it...but i'm lazy

I had already posted about this in the bug forum, where at times it becomes impossible to create a fleet even though they are within my logisitics ability.

I have this bug sometimes too. If this occurs you can't add the ship to the fleet. Doesn't matters which size it has. Happens to me with small, medium, large etc. already.

Funny thing is, I had those ships in a fleet already, then disbanded, moved each to a seperate tile, upgraded them, tried to create fleet again.

Doesn't happen very often, but when it happens its always in that situation I would need each ship I have. Ieeek, guess its just Murphys Law

Btw. I am kinda clueless how to reproduce this yet.

I have had this happen and the way I can usually fix it (have not had it NOT work yet) is to make a fleet using 2 different ships (one of the non working fleet and one of any other ship) once I do this I can then fleet the other ships normally.

I have 30 logistic points and I can load down my fleets with large ships. Plowing over the galaxy taking whatever i please since I have troup transport ships that can move 12 squares a turn.

So far, still got a couple of more minaturizations to do.

Try not to include spaces in your ship design. Remake them if you have to. Sometimes it helps.

Thank you for all the responses... and delighted to know it is a bug and not by design. I did end up using only 1 large ship per fleet and filling the rest with mediums and smalls. Next game I'll give it a new try
