When multiple fleets are on the same side in a battle, whether to apply the per-ship bonuses of Coordinated Maneuvers / Electronic Warfare level 1 is decided by the first fleet on that side. (The % effect caps may similarly be affected, I didn't test)
This means if you join an ongoing battle with a low-level ally fleet, you can fail to benefit from CM/EW even if you have the skill, which can be annoying or a serious disadvantage.

Either each fleet should check its own commander's skill, or the highest skill level found among the participating fleet commanders should be used for all fleets on that side.

Malfunction modifier from Safety Procedures is also affected, it seems. (The UI says everything is dandy when you try to deploy at 20-40% CR, but you get malfunctions anyway)

Apologies for the necro, but this is still an issue as of 0.9a. It's particularly annoying when defending colonies, since it's very common that patrol fleets engage the enemy before the player.

Thank you, I'll check it out.

Finally got around to this, fixed all-around!

Turns out fleetwide ship stat modifiers from skills were not using that ship's fleet commander but rather the first-on-the-side's fleet's commander. So, fixed that; this accounts for the Safety Procedures issue, as well as all other fleetwide skills, which includes EW and CM for their ship contribution bonuses.

As far as EW and CM, they will now use the highest skill on the side for the maximum value, and the ship's fleet commander's skill for the per-ship contribution. That is, if a fleet's commander doesn't have for example EW, that fleet's ships will not contribute 1-4% to the EW rating.
