Manually creating colony fleets
« on: May 29, 2019, 04:15:16 PM »
Is it possible? Like, say, I've put a collection of small ships in storage at my first colony; can I take those ships and make them into a fleet for that colony so I don't have to rely on the auto-generated faction import fleets (that haven't even been built yet)?

Nope, you cannot. Probably a good thing too, since you'd lose those ships at some point.
The closest thing you can do is prioritize certain ships in Doctrine, and create your own autofit variants, since the AI will use those.

Unfortunate. I'm kinda stuck in this side of the sector until my stations finish.

Just to be clear, it will build (crappy) fleets once I have the Waystation even without Heavy Industry, right?

You need patrol HQ to get two small fleets. then you need to upgrade that into an industry for bigger and better fleets
