Is there a setting that prevents fleets that lose all their ships from being removed? I would like all the assignments of my fleets to persist after they are wiped out so I can simply add more ships to them an not have to redo all my postures and defensive borders.

In the few cases that this has happened to me I use the expand button to see the details (the two red arrows on the top right corner.)

Patrol default settings can be changed for engage system targets to engage nearby targets.

<t> I have run into this issue as well and regardless of how i play with the postures or stances, it still seems quirky.<br/>

Basically, as soon as you get your warp engine, spawn a space creature somewhere in the system. I have everything on manual, here are the results:<br/>

Agreed. Had the issue where pirates controlled the space above my planet in another system and the private ships just kept flying to it and dying.

I don't see the option n the constructors or gas giant to create a spaceport... What am I missing?

<t> Appreciate the discussion...<br/>

I have used fleet postures to defend an area, but again, they respond too slow and by the time they arrive the planet has been looted and the construction destroyed.<br/>

Regarding defensive bases, i love these, but the problem is I cannot seem ...

<r> I have been playing for a while now, and while i dont consider myself a beginner, i am seemingly having a very tough time (err, frustrating time,) with pirates.<br/>
<br/>
I cannot combat them because:<br/>
1. I cannot easily search for their bases or their fleet. Exploration ships stop ...

I am very sure they are nagging me when clearly I am waaaay stronger than then...<br/>

Also one pirate kept repeteadly saying he was cancelling the protection (I dunno why, I never accepted it in first place... and he send me a ...

What are the requirements for building a spaceport anywhere except at a colony? Is it something you research?

<t> I am trying to only deal with custom state ship designs but i am currently playing a game with 400 stars, huge sectors, and few colonizable planets. This makes for a very long distance between stars and my planets. I have been designing the private ships to have a huge amount of fuel so they can ...

<t> I am getting slaughtered by pirates as well, but i cannot figure out why. They are crushing my destroyers with escorts and when i look at the defeated ships they have full shields. My destroyers have vastly more firepower than their ships, and yet they wipe out a fleet of 15 with half as many ...

Definitely had it selected but I will give the shift right click a try. Thx

I thought you were able to retrofit a small spaceport to a medium or large space port, but in my newest shadows game I can't seem to get the option. I have everything on manual control and initially redesigned the small spaceport.

What am I missing?
