I found an Exploit

with ships

from GalCiv2 Forums
I found that if you upgrade non combat hulls into combat hulls, it won't un fleet if you exceed your logistics limit. An example of this would be if you had a logistics limit of say 15, and the built three freighters and fleeted them filling the limits ( 15/15 ), and then go to the upgrade screen and upgrade all three ships to the battle ship Exma class ship ( large hull).
Vola! you now have three Exma battle ships in a fleet with a logistics of 18/15 rather then the two ships you would normaly be able to fleet with 15 logistics.

Anyways have fun until this gets fixed!

What version are you running? You can only upgrade a ship to one with the same hull size.

Umm actualy this works because of that. You see cargo ships are considered large size hulls just check the hull space they allow both will be exactly the same container space, and thus cargo hulls can be be upgraded into war ship (Large only) size hulls. and this worked in both 1.1 and in 1.2 beta so it's not something thats been fixed.
It's just that while cargo hull use 5 logistics, large size hulls take up 6, thus making it possible to gain some advantages using this exploit.
