am I running a dangerous carrier fleet that could swarm a battleship while my cruiser locks it down, or am I running a 1 cruiser, 1 destroyer + frigate escorts fleet that's no threat to the enemy battleship & I just blew spare OP & story points to put fighter escorts on my civilian contingent to screen for them & eachother during disengagements? If that were an enemy fleet, would you know that you weren't going to see a single fighter during the battle? None of these issues are game-breaking but they could be improved
1) grey out any/all ships that wouldnt be selected if u clicked the "deploy all" button once, so the presence of fleet infrastructure doesn't mess with the baseline fleet size comparison
2) put a ship's fighters next to it so u can tell what's slinging what. Fighters dont function independently anymore so it doesn't make sense to have them be completely separated from their carrier in the UI
