By clicking the configure button, you can "buy back" the ships you put in to the fleets. They should be remembered.

Basically, you are creating a blueprint that the spawning fleets will follow religiously. If you put ships in to a fleet configuration and they disappear, that's a bug.

Also, you need the resources in your stations main cargo. They're placed there automatically when your buildings produce, it's possible your station didn't have the resources right away. To check how many you need to a fleet configuration, hover over and read the tooltip.

Just to clarify; I am 100% sure Exerelin will not be compatible with Fleet Control sorry :(

(if you were not doing that then I'm not sure what the issue was. 'abandoned' is a faction in Exerelin.

Unless it's spawning fleets, it shouldn't be eating crew. Funnily enough, it was doing that a while ago, but I thought I fixed it. Gonna have to take another look.

Is this like a forever thing or will these two play nicely at some point the future? Because I think Fleet Control is just perfect for Exerelin!! It's the one thing that I don't like about Exerelin because you can't control your fleets and your attack stations make it really difficult to expand in any sort of timely or organized manner..

I personally haven't tried Exerelin, or looked at the source as it got started after I mostly stopped playing. Seeing as how big it is, I'll definitely LOOK to see if there are any compatibility issues I can fix on my end, once I'm done.

As for features that work WITH it, well, that would be out of my hands. I will make the source available though when I'm done, so if anybody does want to do anything with it, there's that.

So I tested the fleet spawning ability some more. Any ships I sell to the station before i create any fleets are lost and gone forever. Any fleets I create will stay in the fleet inventory, but if i buy them back the fleet disappears. So when i hover over the fleet number it says no fleet created. I bought them from going to (I)nventory first from the top dialogue of the station. When i sold them back in the fleet 2 creation screen and pushed Esc to go back to the top dialog it showed me the cost. I had the fleet ready to go for fleet 3 and immediately made it. I pushed Esc a few times to leave the station and flew off. I came back a short time later with supplies to give the fleet spawning a boost and had a look at fleet 3 to find it was not set yet. I made mostly the same fleet again (it was basically a copy of my fleet minus a hound), and it stuck.

When the station randomly chooses a fleet to create does it remember that choice until it has enough resources? Or does it just check for enough resources then spawn it if it has them? I only ever saw my fleet 1 flying around. Fleet 2 was a tiny bit more expensive, and fleet 3 was incredibly expensive. Fleet 2 and 3 also had fighters and carriers. I cheated in a tremendous amount of money and really cranked up my station production facilities. Even after I was accumulating a surplus it didn't spawn 2 or 3. Is there a cap to the total number of fleets per station?

The crew cost displayed is also off. It said i needed 2 crew members to make the fleet but it was quite a bit more. It seemed to pull the correct amount from the station though. The fleet was a Doom 4 hounds and a buffalo MK1, and a tug.

I'll be testing this mod out, I'll post my findings, any bugs (glitchs, etc etc things that need help.) or balancing issues. :)

HI,

Crew in your station isn´t required for production purpose if i got that in your first post right.
so i have a Question/maybe upcoming issue:

What would happen if let´s say need 500 crew minimum for your factorys and have 600 stocked.
A fleet spawns which need 200 crew.

Problem would be : now only 400 left which is not enough to keep your production.

I tested this mod, at first sight everything works normally, there are no conflicts to other mods. There was an idea, it is possible not new, it would be interesting to add Darloth's Tradewinds support, certainly if authors not against. For example, that the stations constructed by the player after the corresponding improvement could make one type of a resource from Tradewinds as they now make ore for example. Also would sell it at minimum price as the producer. The type of a resource could depend on planet type near which the station if certainly it can be realized is constructed. It could add to player's stations  economic value. I apologize for broken language it is machine translation.

Allright, so, i don't know if this is just me, or an issue with others, but I can't seem to get the skills to show up. I don't even have a  'ghost' button to push in the character creation, and stating a new games yields nothing as far as I'm able to tell... This is, intresting, if not annoying, I'll see what i can do to get it to work.

I run Linux Mint 14 64-bit 32-bits libs are installed... It's an issue with the mod. i think... i hope.

heres a screen shot for what i'm talking about.

@CopperCoyote A fleet is chosen randomly each day, and the resources are checked for it that day. This might change later, we'll see. I'll look in to the crew costs, I have an idea as to why it might be doing that. As for the fleet spawns, yeah the fleets require the ship to remain in the inventory for the fleet. You can pull the ship out later, but the fleet will not spawn that ship anymore until it's put back.

@Chronosfear Fleets won't spawn unless you have the amount they need + the amount of crew your station needs. (Their is also a way to prevent trading convoys from selling resources you need as well, not that trading is in yet :p)

@Runoved I really want to add that in, or use the Price Changer, or do some sort of trading myself. The only thing that is stopping me right now is that nobody has figured out how to dynamically change the price of the most important resources: Supplies, Fuel, and Crew. I can live with crew being stuck, but it just would not make sense for supplies to not also change price with their raw materials for example. I'd rather have nothing than have half for the final release.

@Azmond There are no industry skills yet. This is being remade, those will be one of the later features before full release.

I got a peculiar error message. It said my mod versions didn't match, but i hadn't changed anything. When i Looked at the save in the load screen it didn't have any incompatibility warning when i hovered the cursor.

This is what the error log had to say:

I'm not even sure if this is related to the error though.

That's pretty helpful, I'll look into it.
And this is why we have a test version :p I was worried save-killing stuff like this would happen.
