Game auto building escorts, etc?

[Xylentz]

Greetings, I am frustrated...and it's probably just a setting i am missing or just me somehow...but my game seems to be auto building escorts and multiplying how many its told to build?

I have build military ships set to suggest and fleet formation set to auto.

I was expanding in my first system and about to leave, the advisor suggested I build 1 escort...I agreed.

Out popped 4...

Ok fine..maybe I misread whatever...some game time goes by and I decide to manually order more escorts. 4 more to match...I get my 4 and then..another...and another...and another.

Game suggests I should build 1 fuel tanker once research is done, I accept...out pops 3...then an escort...and another escort...

AHHH! What's going on? Lol...the only thing I can think of is auto fleet setting is making it stock up the fleets since auto top off fleets is on also? But not all escorts are joining a fleet...does auto join fleets make solo escorts also once fleets are built? I have no problems elsewhere it seems...

What government are you?

There's a government where the private sector builds escorts on its own as a feature

I think the government I have in mind is Feudalism, so probably it's not your issue.

From what you say, it seems that Fuel Tankers were an issue as well? (or I misunderstood).

How many spaceports do you have?

What other automation settings do you have?

How many escorts are joining fleets out of those constructed? Does the left-over amount equal to what the advisor suggested you built?
