[1.3.0.3 Bug] New fleet split in half

Post by cwaadd »

So I wanted to create a new invasion fleet at Damazy.
Unfortunately I did not have enough money so the game ordered as many ships as it could.
I expected that it would continue to order new ships at Damazy.
Instead it enrolled existing ships at the other end of the empire.

Not a big deal although the flagship moved to the other end of the empire where the newly enrolled ship was.
So all the newly enrolled ships would gather at the other end of the empire.
And then hopefully get back to their headquarters.

I wish it would not enroll existing ships at all for this fleet or at the very least enroll only close by ships and not move the flag ship. Maybe provide an option to set the max distance to enroll ships to a fleet.

Here is the save :

To reproduce just create a new small invasion fleet at Damazy spaceport.

Were there other ships nearby that the fleet could have pulled from to fill in the fleet or were these the only available ones?

This time I have included a save you just have to load the save and find out.
I hope I was clear enough, English is not my first language.
The main problem is all the ships gather at the wrong place. Then never come back together unless manually ordered.
They should gather at Damazy not at Girrelie.

Looking at your save, when you build a new fleet at Damazy and then top up the fleet, it adds ships that are available and eligible for the template. In this case, the the flagship assignment seems to have been given to one of the ships added in the Di Girreleun system. This is why the fleet started to concentrate on the flagship. This doesn't seem like an issue as fleets tend to concentrate on the flagship of their assigned fleet.

However, I did notice another issue in your save, which is for same reason the top-up button when active for your fleet doesn't display the expected tooltip that should explain what ships will be added to the fleet. We'll investigate this.
