Summary0021895: Fleet transfer screen revamp
DescriptionThis presupposes a change so that all fleets whether custom-built or found have the same number of slots from the start.

- Show the fleets you're transferring to/from side-by-side (show two Fleet screens, basically). A drop-down and some left/right or up/down navigation keys let you change the fleet you're transferring to.

- When you pick the source slot on the source panel, the corresponding slot on the target panel highlights. A symbol appears to indicate whether this will result in a transfer (target slot is empty) or a swap (target slot is full).

Benefits of this:
- No more huge list of ships you can swap with, which you have difficulty associating spatially and visually with their owning fleet - now you can see all other ships in the fleet as context, which is much more telling than a name.
- See right away what both fleet's composition will look like. Adjust things and do further transfers from the same screen while keeping a visual continuity.
- No more "transferring empty slots" which nobody finds intuitive.
TagsNo tags attached.

I don't know if making all fleets have the same number of slots is a great idea

Unless I'm missing something it's pretty much already the case? Transfer all units into custom fleets and there you have it, unlimited slots. You won't get much more than 9 attack fleets in a single game, and the fleets with limited slots can be used to dump anything you don't want to bring to the frontline.

Fleets having the same amount of slots seems to be overwhelmingly supported in Discord.
